Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in Support of the UNFCCC (2010 Update) Action O4 [IP-04 O7] Action: Ensure coordination of contributions to CEOS Virtual Constellations for each ocean surface ECV, in relation to in situ ocean observing systems. Who: Space agencies, in consultation with CEOS Virtual Constellation teams, JCOMM, and GCOS. Time-Frame: Continuous. Performance Indicators: Annually updated charts on adequacy of commitments to space-based ocean observing system from CEOS. Annual Cost Implications:

Specific Issues – Oceanic Surface ECVs ECV – Sea-surface Temperature Global SST fields have been produced on a monthly basis for many years, but comparisons of different analyses reveal discrepancies that are unacceptable for many climate purposes, including some of those of the UNFCCC. However, adequate global SST analysis is achievable through enhanced global deployment of existing technology and the improved calibration of satellite sensors, better validation of derived products and further advancement of methodologies. The networks and satellite systems that contribute to the observation of SST and are included in the development of global integrated products comprise: • Surface drifters; • Tropical moored buoy network; • VOS; • VOSClim; • Reference mooring network; • Argo profiling float network; • Ship of Opportunity Programme (SOOP) expendable bathythermograph (XBT) network; and the SOOP subset carrying thermosalinographs (TSGs) • Satellite nadir IR (polar orbiting and geostationary); • Satellite dual view IR (e.g., the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR)) • Satellite microwave. Figure 9 shows the distribution of drifting buoys as of July 2010 coordinated through the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel. Issues relative to the observation and analysis of SST include: 79
