In order to meet impending WMO requirements including strategic plans and implementations on GFCS, WIS, WIGOS, etc.

in terms of resource mobilization and allocation for human, financial, infrastructure & governance aspects

Five Global Initiatives of AgMet by CAgM (GIAM) Global Federation of AgMet Society (GFAMS) Global Center of Research, Excellency in AM (GCREAM) Global AgMet Pilot Projects (GAMPP) Global AgMet Outlook System (GAMOS) WAMIS next phase (WAMIS II)

Global Initiatives proposed by CAgM

2. WMO Requirements

1. Strategic Plan : Enhanced Capability for Better Service Enhanced Capabilities for High Quality resources , Risk Management,better information service, earth system monitoring, ST developments,for emerging members through better partnerships and cooperations

2. WMO Reform : Application oriented Service a. Improved Documentation & communication between TCs and Rasb. Orientate the constituent bodies of WMO to deliver the Strategic Planc. Reduce the intergovernmental part of constituent body sessions

3. GFCS Implementation : 5 Components

4. WIS Implementation : DCPC, metadata - Agronomy data sharing beyond WMO5. WIGOS Implementation :

Function/Manual/Metadata - LDAS, NASNET, Carbon Tracker supports, Ground truth, Phenology

WMO Requirements to TC CAgM

a. Internal working methods, …deciding on implementation priorities, b. Mechanisms to strengthen the global cooperative system c. Projects for the needs of developing countries d. External communications, resource mobilisation and capacity development

GFCS – implemenation priority

1. Capacity building in developing countries (CD) Linking climate service users and providers. 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.

Joint CCl / CAgM / CHy Expert Group on Climate, Food, and Water (JEG-CFW), 7-8 November 2011, Casablanca, Morocco

EC Noted:- WMO should remain active in this field especially with regards to plant

phenology.

- CAgM should take the lead on this topic and encouraged Management Groups of CAgM and CCl to monitor and report on progress.

- Review ToR of each of the UN Conventions that are related to the CCl, CAgM and CHy and to assist the JEG- CFW in reviewing any existing global phenological initiatives

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 require-

ments

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 Explorationto 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 Structuresto 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.)
