CCI Rationale & Objective
The objective of Climate Change Initiative is to realize the full potential of the long-term global Earth Observation archives that ESA together with its Member states have established over the last thirty years, as a significant and timely contribution to the ECV databases required by UNFCCC.
It will ensure that full capital is derived from ongoing and planned ESA missions for climate purposes, including ERS, Envisat, the Earth Explorer missions, relevant ESA-managed archives of Third-Party Mission data and, in due course, the GMES Space Component.
CCI Programme following Ministerial Council in 2008,
about 75MEUR over 6 years for about 20 ECVs

GOCE – Gravity field & steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer
GOCE Main Objectives
global ocean circulation and transfer of heat
+ physics of the Earth’s interior
+ sea level records, ice sheets and sea level change
… to a global picture of the GEOID of unprecedented accuracy
The Missing Link ..
From Observed gravity gradients (e.g. Uxx)

ESA missions data => FCDRs => ECVs FCDR of each ECV requires data from several sensors
Data from each sensor contributes to FCDR of several ECVs

Some Elements of the CCI Programme
Guidance: CSAB (Climate Scientific Advisory Board)
Production - 11 ECV Contracts - Call for Tender for Phase 1 [USER Consultation, Prototype Syst] (now closed) to prepared for Phase 2 (yr 4-5-6) [OPERATIONAL SYST]
• Consortium including Science Leader, Project Manager, EO expert, System Engineering, User - Specialised Climate Research Groups.
• Tasks including, user consultation, algo development [retrieval, merging], validation, round-robin comparison, system prototyping, error characterisation (from sensor to parameters), user assessment
Integration: Need expressed (e.g. ESAC, CSAB) + Value element of feedback.
CMUG contract (Climate Modelling User Group) [Met Office, ECMWF, MPI-M, MeteoFR] to place a climate system perspective at the centre of the CCI programme, and to provide a dedicated forum through which the EO Data Community and Climate Modelling Community can work closely together.

CONCLUDING REMARKS
• [Periodic] Re-processing Data Set [monitoring]
e.g. Enhanced Scrutiny, Error Bar
• “Optimize” Observation
e.g. Foster exploitation, model evaluation [CMIP5]
• Engage with User Community
e.g. Dialogue with WOAP – Main Focal Point
• Invitation to CCI Session @ EGU [6 May 2010 15:30-16:15]
organised by CMUG to gather requirements from Climate
Modelling Community• http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/3695
