 Building national capacity for climate services.
2. Strengthening the Climate Services Information System (CSIS)
 Standardizing products; promoting WIS; facilitating access to, use of
GPC products
 Strengthening regional climate capabilities through establishing
and promoting RCCs and RCOFs
3.
Building capacity to implement the User Interface Platform (UIP)
4. Improving climate observations in data sparse areas (OBS)
5. Building the capacity of the climate research sector (RES)
WIGOS Requirements to TC/CAgM
 the approach and progress within the TCs responding to WIP
A special attention will be given to collaboration of TCs and CBS
and CIMO.
Condisering the WIGOS Framework Implementation Plan (WIP),
including
• the development of the WIGOS Communication and Outreach
Strategy,
• the Functional Requirements of the WIGOS Operational
Information Resource (WIR), WIGOS Regulatory Material, etc.
A special attention will be given to Collaboration with Partner
Organizations (GCOS, GEO, others), with focus on implementation
of GFCS.

WIGOS related pending Issues
 Establishment of Core AgMet Station in member countries
 reference site for ground truth information for RS, Flux, LSM, QC/QA,
phenology, crop yields, biomass production, ecosystem services, etc.
 Strengthening of ReAnalysis Data for land surface information to
support AgModel’s calibration and validation
 In situ observation is limited, thus reanalysis data are essential for model
developments
 Identification/Demonstration of case-studies/pilot projects at
national/regional level on the integrated surface observation
networks in agriculture
 Integration over diverse disciplines/entities for one stop service, eg.
Meteorological vs agronomical observations through new governance
 Enhancement of NWP-based AgMet forecast services in parallel
with observation based now-casting service
 Better use of Seasonal to inter-annual predictions in Agriculture
 Diverse forecasts using models will reduce uncertainties in predition under
high climate variability condition.
• * Land Surface Model, Numerical Weather Prediction Model, Agricultural Models
Problems with Suggestions?
 Limits in Resources
–
–
Human resources : Experts, Secretariat, Project office
Financial resources : pilot projects, outreach, secretariat support
 Multi-disciplinary Aspects
-
non-NMHS experts : poor collaboration with NMHSs, limited support
Domestic collaborations without governance
Diverse partners with poor communication networks : FAO, UNCCD, CBD, GEOSS
 More Demands
WMO Requirements
Reform : restructuring of CAgM OPAG
GFCS : Agriculture & Food security
WIGOS : new observation elements, integration/standardization, service provision
WIS : DCPC, user-interface, ICT resources, GIS-online
Collaborations with Partners
TCs & RAs :
GEOSS / FAO / ISBM / UNCCD : no consistutional own network
The better observations,
the better outlooks,
for better Life & Earth!

Resource Mobilization/Allocation
There are some examples of TCs securing additional resources, but
typically these funds are only for an initial demonstration project.
It is important that the PTC have open discussions on future role of
TCs giving emphasis on most efficient way of future collaborations
within TCs and with RAs due to current limited resources in terms of
human/finance/infrastructure/governance aspects.
CAgM proposes the following options;
1) Re-Allocation of Resources to meet impending requirements
2) New Resource Exploration to meet emerging requirements
3) Re-Organization of CAgM Structures to meet future
requirements
Backgrounds
 TCs are provided with financial resources for the basic
number of expert meetings during the intersessional
period.
 Feedback from several members of WMO expert teams
have indicated that this is insufficient to be effective.
 Also, there are no funds available from the WMO budget
for TCs to develop and organize projects.
Therefore, if projects are to be developed, members of the TC
must take the time raise funds. This is time-consuming task
for all but the most dedicated TC member.
 Without additional funds, WMO TCs can only contribute in
a limited way and the lack of funds also lead to a
perception that the TCs are not effective.
 In addition, due to the global financial crisis, one cannot
expect additional funds from the wealthier countries.
Objectives & Rationale
• To invite suggestions/recommendations from PTC for
efficient CAgM management under limited resource
availability
in order to meet impending WMO requirements including
strategic plan. Continuous Improvement Initiative,
as well as impending issues for implementations on GFCS,
WIS, WIGOS, etc. in terms of resource mobilization and
allocations for human, financial, infrastructure &
governance aspects
• To share and learn lessons from know-hows, experiences
on successful/failed cases, future strategies from TCs and
RAs on efficient utilization/mobilization of resources.
• To propose feasible options for re-structuring of CAgM
for better management and operation in order to meet
user requirements through efficient implementation on
WMO requirements
Re-Allocation of Resources
to meet impending requirements
Through ToR modification/update
- for emerging requirements (OPAG)
- Operational service oriented (ET)
- re-assignment of new missions (ICT)
• OPAG : multi-missions (new initiatives)
• ICT
: new assignments (TT, TF, ..)
• ET
: minimum modification/update
WMO PTC Meeting, 30 January-1 February 2012, Geneva.
New Resource Exploration
to meet emerging requirements
 Financial resource
- Trust funds (WAMIS, GFCS, ..)
e.g. KMA
 Human resource
- Scientific society
e.g. AgMet Soc. at National/Regional/Global
levels
 Infrastructures
- Institutions (government, private, …)
e.g. KMA/KISTI, ESRI, NASA-MEX
Re-Organization of CAgM Structures
to meet future requirements
 MG : OPAG Chairs / Coordinators
- OPAG chairs as coordinators with RAs
- Coordinators/OPAG chairs also chair new TTs/TFs
 ICT : mobilized to meet new demands on experts
- converted to TT members for GFCS, WIGOS, WIS
- assign new missions as rapporteur, task force, etc.
(e.g. sub-sectors : crop, animal, forestry, fishery ..)
 TT for GFCS : 5 members with a chairperson
- OBS/RMP/CSIS/UIP/CB
- each member has a role of coordinator with
TCs/RAs
(e.g. OBS for GEO/WIGOS, CSIS for WIS, etc.)
