11 WDC-RSAT activities w.r.t. GAW-Ozone Support IGACO UV/O3 implementation plan (develop an integrated atmospheric observations system) take part in WMO UV/O3 SAG working group conduct assimilation experiments to evaluate station data evaluate the potential of synergistic assimilation of multiple instruments, e.g. ground-based and satellite data Support implementation of WDC-RSAT strategic plan (develop WDC-RSAT towards WMO data center) Improve access to level 1-2 data by at least providing links and more detailed meta data Evaluate selected data products by validation and data assimilation (level 3-4) Folie 11

12 WDC-RSAT activities w.r.t. GAW-NRT help in implementation of GAW strategic plan (strengthen capabilities to predict climate, weather and air quality ) take part in WMO s Expert Team for Near-Real-Time Chemical Data Transfer (ET-NRT CDT). support submission and processing of NRT data via WIS prepare paper to demonstrate NRT potential for AQ forecasts define and devise pilot projects to prove the NRT concept Saharan sand-dust storm event MACC regional air quality forecasts AirNow NRT application demonstrator Folie 13

13 UFS Data Analysis Center (UFS-DAZ) / GAW-WIGOS-Pilot Project WDC-RSAT serves the Bavarian Environmental Research Station Schneefernerhaus (UFS) (GAW Global Station) on the mountain Zugspitze with all aspects related to data management and enhanced data services UFS-DAZ Provides UFS scientists a quick, comfortable, tailored and secured access to UFS measurements offers comfortable access to satellite based and non-satellite based data (e.g. from ground-based networks such as NDMC etc.), value added data and information (e.g. atmospheric dynamics activity or global ozone distribution), services (e.g. air quality forecasts), atmospheric models (e.g. trajectory models or 3D-Chemistry Transport Models) and user specific data analysis tools (e.g. Web Mapping Tools). Folie 14

15 WDC-RSAT activities w.r.t. Validation / QS Quantification of the miss-match error in temperature mainly based on ECMWF ERA-40 data Integration of the MISMATCH- Tool into the UFS-DAZ as a new user service (e.g. validation campaign planning / scheduling) Satellite and reference measurement do not exactly match in time and space The variability of the atmosphere leads to differences between the measurements Folie 16

18 Announcement of CEOS-ICSU-WMO WDC-RSAT Symposium, 2011 DLR, Oberpfaffenhofen The symposium will bring together the data providers and users with the objective of (1) visualising available resources (data, information, data processing services etc.), (2) increasing their exposure to potential users and soliciting feedback for improvements and increased cooperation, and (3) developing the WDC-RSAT into a one-stop shop with the ultimate goal of becoming a fully operational community node in the GEOSS architecture. Folie 21

19 CEOS-ICSU-WMO WDC-RSAT Symposium, early 2011 The two day symposium will be structured in plenary sessions with invited overview presentations and submitted topical talks allowing amble time for discussions and individual workshops with moderators and rapporteurs. A list of potential joint activities for consideration by the workshop will be prepared during the symposium. where appropriate, the workshop participants will evaluate how each task contributes to overall GEOSS objectives. The symposium responds to the contemporary challenges that all World Data Centers face through the participation of major stake holders, Data Providers, Data Centers, Data Archives, as well as Service Providers and the User Community at large.
