  2. EO Cooperation • Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS) • Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) • CEOS/WTF for GOFC

  3. Integrated Global Observation Strategy

  4. INTEGRATED GLOBAL OBSERVING STRATEGY • Initiated as a strategy for harmonizing EO missions capabilities and user requirements: • INTEGRATED - as an international effort, both space-based and in-situ measurements • GLOBAL - addresses large-scale environmental changes and global observation • OBSERVING - parameters of scientific and economic/policy importance and large global and regional research programs • STRATEGY - match observing requirements with existing and planned EO capabilities

  5. IGOS Partners UNESCO WCRP IGFA

  6. What will IGOS Achieve? • Long term continuity of spatial observations • Respond to user needs that are beyond the capabilities of existing systems • User-defined observation program • Build upon the strategies of existing international global observation programs

  7. What will IGOS Achieve? • Work towards reducing unnecessary duplication of observations & gaps • Facilitate integration of multiple data sets from different agencies • Be the joint product of different agencies involved • Address the collection of both space-based and in-situ data and their integrated analysis

  8. Concept of an IGOS Redesign systems International and national scientific, social, economic, and political drivers Assess Requirements for observations Evaluate capabilities of observational systems Obtain commitments for change Decide what needs to be changed Change the observational systems Implementation Monitor progress Collect observations and generate products Enhance the product processing chain Assess implementation of systems Use resultant products Deploy improved observational assets and improve use of existing ones Evaluate usefulness of products

  9. Theme Approach • Developed to provide a more coherent focus for the definition and implementation of IGOS. • Current Themes • Ocean • Ocean Color, GODAE, • Water Cycle • CEOP • Atmospheric Chemistry • Integrated Global Carbon Cycle • GOFC • More themes to come • Disaster Management • Coastal Monitoring • etc.

  10. GOFC (Global Observation of Forest Cover) • Objective To improve the quality and availability of satellite observations of forests at regional and global scales To produce useful, timely and validated information products from these data (together with in-situ observations) for a wide variety of users

  19. CEOS WGISS CEOS Working Group on Information Systems and Services

  20. WGISS Overview • The Role of Information Systems & Services: An essential element to the success of Earth observation programmes • users need to be able find and access products on a global basis • harmonised systems are essential to allow users to easily and efficiently utilise products globally • coordinated technical development is required if this is to be achieved • WGISS: The Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS) is there to address these issues • facilitates EO data and information management and services for users and data providers on a global, regional and local basis.

  21. Current Foci • User Driven Development: • Following encouragement by CEOS Plenary WGISS has re-oriented itself to work with user organisations in the development of tools, techniques and recommendations • This it has done through the development of the Test Environment • Spatial Information World: • WGISS needs to be a partner in the wider spatial information world, which is rapidly developing information technology. • A specific focus has been WGISS’s relationship with the Open GIS consortium (OGC) where there has been sharing of ideas and joint particpation in meetings • Commercial development: • WGISS has continued to liaise with the EO commercial sector on the development and operation of information systems and services. • Commercial organisations continue to attend WGISS, Sub-Group and associated Workshops • Standards: • WGISS needs to influence the real and de facto standards that are driving the spatial information and commercial developments • Continued links are maintained with key standards organisations (ISO, OGC...)

  22. WGISS Achievements Over the past 6 years WGISS (building on the work of WGD & WGINS) has developed a wide range of tools, techniques, services, & guidelines: • Resource discovery and access • Archive e.g. Purge alert in place; archive interchange format in preparation • Catalogue e.g. Developed CIP; an interoperable catalogue system developed providing access to over 1200 catalogues • Search e.g. One-stop-shop search in place – the IDN provides 10,200 data set descriptions, with 20,000 users / month • Browse e.g. Browse guidelines available • Order e.g. Data ordering now integrated into CIP • Access e.g. Establishment of a virtual CEOS net, with constant network performance monitoring • Resource generation, evaluation and utilisation • Data sets e.g. Global data sets supported • Data formats e.g. Data format guidelines issued • Data rescue e.g. African data sets rescued by USGS at WGISS instigation for developing countries • Outreach • Promotion materiale.g. 2,000 copies of WGISS brochure distibuted 150 attendees at the annual EO/GEO Workshop 40,000 WGISS business cars produced

  23. The WGISS Year • WGISS Meetings • WGISS 12 (joint meeting with the Sub-Groups) hosted by USGS, Sioux Falls, USA (May 2001) • WGISS 13, to be hosted by NASDA in Tokyo, postponed to February 2002 (replaced by a WGISS teleconference) • Sub-Group Meetings • Hosted by Eumetsat, Darmstadt Germany (September 2001) • Associated Workshops • EOGEO, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada (June 2001) (as part of the Digital Earth Conference attended by over 650 persons) • Presentations / Promotion • Internet Workshop (IWS 2001), Tokyo, Japan (February 2001) • UN Geographic Information Working Group, Rome (March 2001) • ASPRS, St. Louis MO, USA (April 2001) • CEOS Disaster Management Support Group (DMSG), Brussels, Belgium (June 2001) • GOFC STB, Frascati Italy (June 2001) • Asia Pacific Network Advanced Network (APAN) Earth Monitoring Working Group, Penang, Malaysia (August 2001) • UN Economic Commission for Africa Committee on Development Information, Addis Ababa (September 2001) • International Federation of Surveyors, Nairobi, Kenya (October 2001) • AfricaGIS Symposium, Nairobi, Kenya (November 2001)
