The key word is Integration:
promote synergy among systems
The whole is more than the sum of
the parts--Aristotle
Need an Integrated Global
Observing System to meet
all requirements in a cost –
effective manner

VISION FOR THE GOS IN 2025
• Integration
– The GOS will have evolved to become part of
the WIGOS, which will integrate current GOS
functionalities, which are intended primarily to
support operational weather forecasting, with
those of other applications:
•
•
•
•
•
climate monitoring,
oceanography,
atmospheric composition,
hydrology, and
weather and climate research;
VISION FOR THE GOS IN 2025
• Integration
– Integration will be developed through the
analysis of requirements and, where
appropriate, through sharing observational
infrastructure, platforms and sensors, across
systems and with WMO Members and other
partners;
– Surface and space-based observing systems
will be planned in a coordinated manner to cost
effectively serve variety of user needs with
appropriate spatial and temporal resolutions.
Observational Requirements
under WIGOS Framework
Inclusion requirements of
– Weather, DRR
– Climate (GFCS,
GAW..),
– Water
(WHYCOS,..)
– Environment
(GAW, Health)
– Co-sponsored
observing systems
WIGOS Space component
• From weather satellite to
WIGOS space component
• CGMS new baseline with
greatly enhanced global
satellite constellations to
meet WWW, GFCS, GAW,
WHYCOS,GCW etc ..
Operational requirements.
• Challenges to enhance
greatly space and ground
capabilities

2.1.2 Missions
The satellites should be equipped at a
minimum to provide the following missions:
(a) Imagery and sounding missions: satellites
should be equipped to provide characteristics
meeting user requirements to the greatest
extent possible, independently or in
conjunction with surface-based observations,
quantitative data and qualitative information to
enable determination of:
– (i) Fields of atmospheric temperature and
humidity;
– (ii) Temperatures of sea and land
surfaces;
– (iii) Wind fields at the surface and aloft;
– (iv) Cloud amount, cloud type, cloud top
height and temperature, and cloud water
content;
– (v) Precipitation;
– (vi) Snow and ice cover;
– (vii) Total column ozone;
– (viii) Vegetation cover;
– (ix) Radiation balance data.

2.1.2 Missions
The satellites should be equipped at a
minimum to provide the following missions:
(a) Imagery and sounding missions: satellites
should be equipped to provide
characteristics meeting user requirements to
the greatest extent possible, independently
or integration with surface-based
observations, data, products and information
to enable determination of:
•
(i) Fields of atmosphere: mainly:
– Temperature, humidity
– Greenhouse gases, total ozone and
ozone profile, reactive gases
– Wind fields at the surface and aloft;
– Cloud amount, type, top height and
temperature, and cloud water content;
– Precipitation, including chemical
composition of precipitation;
– Earth radiation balance data
•
(ii) Surface variables: mainly
– Temperatures of sea and land
surfaces; different level of sub-surface
– Snow and ice cover, including ocean,
polar regions and cryosphere;
– Soil moisture, hydrological variables
– Flooding areas, fires, Vegetation cover;
Conclusion remark
WMO OMM
•
Benefits of WIGOS
–
–
Enhanced Members’ ability to meet expanding
national mandates and achieve higher national and
international visibility –including space agencies;
WIGOS provides a framework for improved
collaboration and coordination within and beyond
WMO;
•
WIGOS is both: challenges and opportunities
for building up synergies among us, a winwin strategy for our future
