OPAG 1
Implementation & Coordination Teamo Some useful contributions but did not function as planned
Expert Teams on:o Observing Requirements and Standards for Climateo Rescue, Preservation and Digitization of Climate Recordso Metadata for Climate Applicationso National Networks and Observations in Support of Climate
Activities Rapporteurs on
o Regional Aspects of Data and Data Managemento Use of Data from Remote Sensing Systems

Supporting good quality, consistent and homogeneous observations
Key outputs:
o Guidelines on:• Climate observation networks and systems
• Phenological observations (outside OPAG)
• Automated versus manual surface meteorological observations – decision factors
• Managing changes in observation programs
• Calculating normals (an update, OPAGs 1 & 2)

Supporting good quality, consistent and homogeneous observations
Key outputs:
o Brief guidelines on data accessibility and maintaining national climate networks
o Inputs to:• “The Guide…”
• CBS led Statements of Guidance (on future observation systems)
• GCOS related activities (e.g. Adequacy report, implementation plan)

Supporting good quality, consistent and homogeneous observations
Key “misses”:
o From guidelines to knowledge
o Stronger and more coordinated linkages with GEO, GCOS, CBS, CIMO, JCOMM, etc activities

Improving the capacity to manage climate data
Key outputs:o Actively supporting Climate Database
Management System (CDMS) project
o Support for data management training
o Guidelines on:• Climate data management
• Metadata and homogeneity (with OPAG 2)
• Extensible Markup Language (XML): essentials for climatologists
• Quality control/Quality assurance of climate data

Improving the capacity to manage climate data
Key outputs:
o Engagement with the (Future) WMO Information System (WIS), including on metadata
Key “misses”
o National and regional opportunities for capturing resources
o International standards for exchanging (station) metadata

Meeting the challenges: 2006-2009
Making implementation and coordination work more effectively (CDMSs, data rescue)
Guidelines Knowledge Adoption
o Pathway for Quality Management Framework/Development of competencies?
Strengthening links with CBS, JCOMM, GCOS, CIMO, GEO, etc
Managing remotely sensed data and new climate data
Managing the automation of observations
Implementing better quality management
