Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in Support of the UNFCCC (2010 Update) Action Action A28 [IP-04 A27] Action: Maintain and enhance the WMO GAW Global Atmospheric CO 2 and CH 4 Monitoring Networks as major contributions to the GCOS Comprehensive Networks for CO 2 and CH 4 . Who: Parties’ national services, research agencies, and space agencies, under the guidance of WMO GAW and its Scientific Advisory Group for Greenhouse Gases, in cooperation with the AOPC. Time-Frame: Ongoing. Performance Indicator: Dataflow to archive and analyses centres. Annual Cost Implications: 10-30M US$ (50% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action A29 Action: Assess the value of the data provided by current space-based measurements of CO 2 and CH 4 , and develop and implement proposals for follow-on missions accordingly. Who: Parties’ research institutions and space agencies. Time-Frame: Urgent, to minimise data gap following GOSAT. Performance Indicator: Assessment and proposal documents; approval of consequent missions. Annual Cost Implications: 1-10M US$ initially, increasing with implementation (10% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action A30 [IP-04 A29] Action: Maintain networks for halocarbon and N 2 O and SF 6 measurements. Who: Parties’ national research agencies and national services, through WMO GAW. Time-Frame: Ongoing. Performance Indicator: Data flow to archive and analyses centres. Annual Cost Implications: 1-10M US$ (20% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action A31 [IP-04 A30] Action: Maintain the quality of the GCOS Global Baseline (Profile and Total) Ozone Networks coordinated by the WMO GAW and seek to increase coverage in the Tropics and Southern Hemisphere. Improve timeliness of provision of data to users and promote adoption of a single code standard. Who: Parties’ national research agencies and services, through WMO GAW and partners, in consultation with AOPC. Time-Frame: Ongoing. Performance Indicator: Network coverage and operating statistics. Annual Cost Implications: 1-10M US$ (50% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action A32 Action: Continue production of satellite ozone data records (column, tropospheric ozone and ozone profiles) suitable for studies of interannual variability and trend analysis. Reconcile residual differences between ozone datasets produced by different satellite systems. Who: Space agencies. Time-Frame: Ongoing. Performance Indicator: Statistics on availability and quality of data. Annual Cost Implications: 10-30M US$ (Mainly by Annex-I Parties). Action A33 [IP-04 A31] Action: Develop and implement a coordinated strategy to monitor and analyse the distribution of aerosols and aerosol properties. The strategy should address the definition of a GCOS baseline network or networks for in situ measurements, assess the needs and capabilities for operational and research satellite missions for the next two decades, and propose arrangements for coordinated mission planning. Who: Parties’ national services, research agencies and space agencies, with guidance from AOPC and in cooperation with WMO GAW and AERONET. Time-Frame: Ongoing, with definition of baseline in situ components and satellite strategy by 2011. Performance Indicator: Designation of GCOS baseline network(s). Strategy document, followed by implementation of strategy. Annual Cost Implications: 10-30M US$ (20% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action A34 Action: Ensure continuity of products based on space-based measurement of the precursors (NO 2 , SO 2 , HCHO and CO in particular) of ozone and aerosols and derive consistent emission databases, seeking to improve temporal and spatial resolution. Who: Space agencies, in collaboration with national environmental agencies and meteorological services. Time-Frame: Requirement has to be taken into account now in mission planning, to avoid a gap in the 2020 timeframe. Performance Indicator: Availability of the necessary measurements, appropriate plans for future missions, and derived emission data bases. Annual Cost Implications: 10-30M US$ (10% in non-Annex-I Parties).

Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in Support of the UNFCCC (2010 Update) Action Action O1 [IP-04 O1] Action: Analyse the ocean section of national reports on systematic observation for climate to the UNFCCC, and encourage non-Annex-I Parties to contribute reports. Who: IOC and I-GOOS JCOMM, in consultation with GOOS. Time-Frame: Conforming to UNFCCC guidelines. Performance Indicators: Number of Parties providing reports on their ocean observing activities. Annual Cost Implications:
