  2. Acknowledgment • The inaugural OPAG 1 Chair - Richard Masika’s contribution to national (Kenya) and international climate activities over many years.

  3. OPAG 1 • Implementation & Coordination Team • Some useful contributions but did not function as planned • Expert Teams on: • Observing Requirements and Standards for Climate • Rescue, Preservation and Digitization of Climate Records • Metadata for Climate Applications • National Networks and Observations in Support of Climate Activities • Rapporteurs on • Regional Aspects of Data and Data Management • Use of Data from Remote Sensing Systems • Activities and outputs: • http://www.bom.gov.au/wmo/climate/ccl/opag1.shtml

  4. Supporting good quality, consistent and homogeneous observations • Key outputs: • 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)

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

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

  7. Improving the capacity to manage climate data • Key outputs: • Actively supporting Climate Database Management System (CDMS) project • Support for data management training • 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

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

  9. Saving national heritage: climate data rescue • Key outputs: • Involvement in data rescue activities, including through Regional GCOS initiatives • Guidelines on climate data rescue (with OPAG 2) • Brochure for awareness raising • Support for training

  10. Saving national heritage: climate data rescue • Key “misses”: • Progress with inventories of available climate records • Strategy document focussed on planning, developing and implementing data rescue activities • National and regional opportunities for capturing resources

  11. Facilitating and supporting activities • OPAG 1 web site: • http://www.bom.gov.au/wmo/climate/ccl/opag1.shtml • Training • Reviewing • GCOS • Steering committee, Panels, Regional initiatives • Regional Climate Centres • Profile raising • Presentations at conferences/workshops • Side events at UNFCCC COP

  12. Meeting the challenges: 2006-2009 • Making implementation and coordination work more effectively (CDMSs, data rescue) • Guidelines Knowledge Adoption • 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

  13. Quality management & metadata

  14. Thank Youand thanks to my colleagues
