Progress Report on Development of a Space-based Architecture for Climate Monitoring
CM-11, Item 6
WMO OMM
Motivation
• Policy framework in place (UNFCCC, IPCC reports) -- expectations are high
• Emerging national and international efforts for climate services will bring additional demands
• Space-agency investments have been considerable, and need to be leveraged
• There are still observational gaps and risks of gaps• Contingency measures exist for weather observations -- still relatively
lacking for climate observations• Greater coordination is needed in a resource-constrained environment• Long-term and sustained observations will require additional resources

And will the end-to-end system exist to generate the measurements for a climate analog?
• Anomaly correlation of seasonal forecasts?
• Correlation of sea-level rise?
• ?
• ?
Will There be a Climate Analog?
WMO OMM
CM-11 is Invited to:
• Note development of an initial WMO concept document (v.1.1) for an architecture for climate monitoring from space
• Note progress on collaborative efforts to prepare a report describing a coordinated strategy for an architecture for climate monitoring from space
• Review draft Resolution (3.7/1) for consideration by the Sixteenth Session of the WMO Congress (Cg-XVI)
