ET-CDMS links with GFCS
• GFCS has five pillars.
• Climate services are built on the Observations and monitoring pillar - > OPACE 1 data management
• CDMS activities mentioned in GFCS IP.
ET-CDMS – The story so far (2010-14)
• CDMS specifications document produced and reviewed
• Progress on climate schema for the WMO Core Metadata profile (incl two Discussion papers)
• Survey of CDMS use and issues
• Closer collaboration with WIS, WIGOS
ET-CDMS - ToR• Develop and implement a monitoring mechanism for a continued updating of
the CDMSs Specifications document and establish an updateable register of CDMS compliance with the specifications;
• Consolidate the work done on defining CDMS specifications and on establishing an adequate description of climate metadata that also distinguishes observations from formal and informal sources such as crowd-sourced data;
• Consider making a proposal for a possible amendment of the Technical Regulations with respect to the CDMS specifications;
• Work with the CBS Inter-Programme Expert Team on Metadata and Data Representation Development (IPET-MDRD) to develop a Logical Data Model that facilitates efficient exchange of Climate Observations Data and Metadata;
• Further develop and pursue a strategy for Open Source CDMS development;
• Collaborate with the GFCS, and other relevant bodies and technical commissions on the development of a sustainable strategy to meet ongoing needs for support, training and skills availability for CDMS and Data Rescue.

ET-CDMS - Issues
• Principle of would-be users select CDMS that best meets needs
• Long-term sustainability issues • How to achieve more efficient feedback/responses
from NMHSs• Poor communications – esp in D & LDCs• Inadequate technical skills - esp in D/LDCs• Lack of basic understanding of data management
ET-CDMS – Deliverables 2014-18• Development of CDMS register that acts as an inventory on CDMS
compliance
• Maintain and update the CDMS spec; refine requirements
• Ensure CDMS spec is included in relevant Technical Regulations
• Contribute to improving and promulgating better data management practices
• Progress development of future strategies relevant to CDMS such as opensource community, cloud access to technologies, sustainability strategy etc
• Support development of Climate Observations Logical Data Modelling via IPET-MDRD; also with TT-WMD
ET-CDMS – Key collaborations
• CCl's ET-DARE (Joint meeting this week) • WIGOS (whole of WMO data management
initiative) and IPET-CDMP • WIS/CBS (metadata, logical data model), e.g.,
IPET-MDRD, TT-WMD• WMO Education and capacity development• GFCS (and others?) – sustainability • WCRP• Association of Hydro-Meteorological
Equipment Industry (HMEI); CDMS providers
Other points
• Contribution to new Technical Regulations (if appropriate)
• Team should stay abreast of emerging WMO reporting and data exchange requirements (e.g., daily CLIMAT, BUFR, WWR, etc)
• Update Guide to Climatological Practices
• Scientific papers?
11
Some further thoughts (What experience shows might work well)
• First meeting very important to set work plan and establish momentum
• Work plans should be well-defined but allow flexibility
• Occasional Webex teleconferences to keep everyone on track.
• Links between ET-DARE and OPACE 5 on Education & Training, Capacity Development, and Communications
• Consider for certain tasks a dedicated writing team in Geneva.

Climate Normals (Cont’d)How dual standard works:Fixed reference period. For
Climate monitoring: retain a relatively stable long-term average
Current standard: 1961-1990-------------------------------------------
30/10 - For general climate services, use up to date normals.
Current standard: 1981-2010

OTHER ACTIVITIES – International workshop on climate data management
& HQ-GDMFC(HQ-GDMFC -High Quality Global Data
Management Framework for Climate)• An International workshop on climate data management
was held in Nanjing in March 2013 jointly hosted by CMA-WMO.
• This workshop endorsed need for a HQ-GDMFC• Aims to define best practice in Climate DM to WMO
Members, including new or updated Guidance docs, Tech Regs, definitions etc
• ICG-WIGOS endorsed cross-program IPET-CDMF• Should be a priority 2014-18 IP
