Atmospheric Observations (cont.)
• AMDAR: 12th AMDAR Panel meting (Toulouse, November 2009) regarding the further promotion of AMDAR in the Region:
– A new AMDAR Pilot Project encompassing areas of the South-West Pacific.
– Recently development of AMDAR water vapor sensor currently under test in the USA and Europe
• The Association:– Encourage members to extend AMDAR
coverage– Support the AMDAR Pilot Project
5
• About 250,000 AMDAR observations per day disseminated on the GTS• The availability of AMDAR profiles in data sparse regions of Southern Africa, Eastern Europe, parts of the Russian Federation, South and East Asia and South America have significantly increased over the past few years. •12th AMDAR Panel meeting , a new AMDAR Pilot Project encompass areas of South-West Pacific, RA V encourage Members to support the project.

• Atmospheric Chemical Composition and UV Measurements
• The Association recognized: the important support by Members for GAW stations in the Region:
– Australia
– Indonesia
– Malaysia
– New Zealand and,
– USA (Mauna Loa and America Samoa)

Marine and Oceanographic observations
• Marine observation– RA V noted the implementation of marine observing
networks had continued to expand, thanks to the Members – In particular the Research Moored Array for the Africa-
Asia-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (RAMA) is now 52% completed and still developing.
• WMO-IOC RMIC – JCOMM – III (Morocco, Nov. 2009) decide to establish
WMO-IOC Regional Marine Instruments Centre (RMIC).– RA V Invited Members to offer such facilities to improve
data and observational products quality.

Terrestrial & Polar Observations
• Water cycle– The Association noted the activities carried out by the experts of the
RA V Working Group on Hydrology (RA V-WGH) related to the Pacific-HYCOS and the progress on developing a WHYCOS component for the South-East Asian countries.
• Polar Observation – IPY observation legacy initiatives through the EC Panel of Experts on
Polar Observations, Research and Services (EC-PORS).– High priority of polar observation in support research and servces. – Interested Members to provide EC PORS with a contact for their
Antarctic activities.
• Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW)– GCW would be an integrator between weather, water, climate and the
cryosphere and request EC-PORS to provide oversight and support for GCW.
9
Cross-cutting: Space-based observation
• GOS Vision in 2025: address climate observations– Hyperspectral Sounders from GEO and LEO
– Constellation of radio-occultation sounders
– Continuity of Altimetry for ocean surface wind
– Constellation of global precipitation measurements • Geostationary Satellites covering RA V and transition
• Polar and Geostationary Satellites covering RA V– NOAA – 19 (USA)– Metop – 3 (EUMETSAT)– FY-3A (China)– Meteor-M (Russian Federation)– Jason-2 (Joint ocean mission, EUMETSAT, USA and France) 10
Cross-cutting
• Instrument Standards and Best Practices – EC-LXI had adopted revised Terms of Reference (ToRs) for Regional
Instrument Centres (RICs) and Regional Radiation Centres (RRCs)
– The Association requested its Members who operate RICs to declare their level of capability under the new ToRs.
• Evolution of the Global Observing Systems (GOS)– RA notes valuable contributions from RA V Members to the GOS
Vision 2025; expecting contribution to GOS 2025 Implementation Plan
• Observing Systems Experiments (OSEs)– The Association requested major RA V NWP Centres to continue their OSE
experiments so as to contribution to the future observing system development.
• Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)– RA noted GCOS Technical Support Project for the Pacific Islands and CBS
Lead Centre for GCOS Data in the Region, leading to improved performance of RBCN, GSN and GUAN, thanks to the donor countries.
– Encourage Members to support the proposed GCOS Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN), Ozone and Aerosol networks.

WIGOS • Strong support for the further development of WIGOS; • Noted with appreciation the Regional Demonstration
Project conducted by Australia; request new WIGOS WG collaborate with WIGOS DP
• Request RA V relevant Regional WIGOS Working Bodies to develop the Regional WIGOS Implementation Plan, and include the relevant tasks and activities in their work plans, taking into consideration of Regional special requirements;
• Urged and encouraged Members participate actively in the WIGOS relevant activities (AMDAR, RMIC, GRUAN, etc)
• Underlined the importance of the active collaboration of Members and Regional Working Bodies.

WIGOS Benefits
• Enable WMO Members to meet expanding national mandates which are calling for increasing coordination and integration to help them better respond to natural hazards, improve weather, water, climate and related environmental monitoring, and adapt to climate change and other environmental impacts;
• Enhance operational components of WMO Programmes, especially in Developing and LDCs;
• Ensure essential WMO support for the observational and information elements of the future GFCS;
• Contribute strongly to GOOS, GTOS, GCOS and GEOSS.
