Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in Support of the UNFCCC (2010 Update) Action Action O37 [IP-04 O38] Action: Develop enhanced and more cost-effective telecommunication capabilities, including two-way communications for dynamic control of systems, instruments and sensors. Who: Parties, coordinated through JCOMM. Time-Frame: Continuing. Performance Indicator: Capacity to communicate data from ocean instrumentation to ocean data centres. Annual Cost Implications: 1-10M US$ (50% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action O38 [IP-04 O39] Action: Develop plans for, and coordinate work on, data assembly and analyses. Who: JCOMM and IODE, in collaboration with CLIVAR, CliC, WOAP, GODAE, and other relevant research and data management activities. Time-Frame: 2013. Performance Indicator: Number of ocean climatologies and integrated datasets available. Annual Cost Implications:
Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in Support of the UNFCCC (2010 Update) Action Action T3 120 [IP-04 T3, T29] Action: Development of a subset of current LTER and FLUXNET sites into a global terrestrial reference network for monitoring sites with sustained funding perspective, and collocated measurements of meteorological ECVs; seek linkage with Actions T4 and T29 as appropriate. Who: Parties’ national services and research agencies, FLUXNET organizations, NEON, and ICOS, in association with CEOS WGCV, CGMS-GSICS, and GTOS (TCO and TOPC). Time-frame: Implementation started by 2011, completed by 2014. Performance Indicator: Plan for the development and application of standardised protocols for the measurements of fluxes and state variables. Annual Cost Implications: 30-100M US$ (40% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action T4 Action: Initiate an ecosystem monitoring network acquiring “Essential Ecosystem Records” (see section 3.8), by exploiting collocation opportunities with the global terrestrial reference network (Action T3) and the network of validation sites (T29). Who: Parties’ national services and research agencies, GTOS (Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics (GOFC-GOLD)), TOPC, GEOBON, in association with the UNCBD. Time-frame: Network concept and observation approach by 2011; Implementation by 2014. Performance Indicator: Availability of essential ecosystem records, including proper documentation, from all designated sites in the network. Annual Cost Implications: 30-100M US$ (50% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action T5 Action: Develop an experimental evaporation product from existing networks and satellite observations. Who: Parties, national services, research groups through GTN-H, IGWCO, TOPC, GEWEX Land Flux Panel and WCRP CliC. Time frame: 2013-2015. Performance indicator: Availability of a validated global satellite product of total evaporation. Annual Cost Implications: 1-10M US$ (10% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action T6 [IP-04 T4] Action: Confirm locations of GTN-R sites, determine operational status of gauges at all GTN-R sites, and ensure that the GRDC receive daily river discharge data from all priority reference sites within one year of their observation (including measurement and data transmission technology used). Who: National Hydrological Services, through WMO CHy in cooperation with TOPC, GTOS and the GRDC. Time-Frame: 2011. Performance Indicator: Reports to WMO CHy on the completeness of the GTN-R record held in the GRDC including the number of stations and nations submitting data to the GRDC, National Communication to UNFCCC. Annual Cost Implications: 1-10M US$ (60% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action T7 Action: Assess national needs for river gauges in support of impact assessments and adaptation, and consider the adequacy of those networks. Who: National Hydrological Services, in collaboration with WMO CHy and TOPC. Time-Frame: 2014. Performance Indicator: National needs identified; options for implementation explored. Annual Cost Implication: 10-30M US$ (80% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action T8 [IP-04 T6] Action: Submit weekly/monthly lake level/area data to the International Data Centre; submit weekly/monthly altimeter-derived lake levels by space agencies to HYDROLARE. Who: National Hydrological Services through WMO CHy, and other institutions and agencies providing and holding data; space agencies; HYDROLARE. Time-Frame: 90% coverage of available data from GTN-L by 2012. Performance Indicator: Completeness of database. Annual Cost Implications: 1-10M US$ (40% in non-Annex-I Parties). Action T9 [IP-04 T7] Action: Submit weekly/monthly lake level and area data measured during the 19 th and 20 th centuries for the GTN-L lakes to HYDROLARE. Who: National Hydrological Services and other agencies providing and holding data, in cooperation with WMO CHy and HYDROLARE. Time-Frame: Completion of archive by 2012. Performance Indicator: Completeness of database. Annual Cost Implications:
