Background

At GEO Plenary, GEO Members & Participating Organisations have limited time for their oral reports

CEOS will report only on a subset of activities representative of the CEOS efforts and achievements 14 CEOS GEO Actions proposed by each WG Chair, Virtual

Constellation Lead and CEOS SBA Coordinator (June 08)

CEOS Achievements: Rational for Selection

14 CEOS GEO actions initially proposed (Jun. 08) uneven progress not representative of overall good

achievements on Cat 1 actions.

Agreement to report on a few successful actions selected from those 14 actions (SIT-22, Sep. 08) Actions to be selected to illustrate the variety of outcomes

(e.g. new datasets, key documents, thematic web portals, etc..)

Addition of few other major achievements that are not directly related to specific “GEO Task” but of interest for GEO Community

Main Messages from CEOS Report

Significant efforts: CEOS is deeply committed to GEO CEOS Agencies allocated many resources to support GEO

activities in 2008. Major contributions from Working Groups and Virtual

Constellation Teams

Several tangible achievements: several GEO ‘2007-2009’ Tasks supported successfully either as Lead or Contributor. Several concrete examples of achievements listed as outcomes

from some top priority actions selected among: 21 “GCOS” actions (GEO Task CL-06-02) 60 “GEO” actions (GEO Tasks other than CL-06-02) 2 new Virtual Constellations initiated to support Demos of Climate and Land Surface Imaging web portals

CEOS Achievements: Examples in Report

More than 30 new datasets registered in GEOSS 9 years of GlobCarbon information (AATSR, ATSR , MERIS, VEGETATION merged

data) on the evolution of the vegetation cover and related parameters. 50m orthorectified mosaic (ALOS PALSAR) accessible thru new “ALOS Kyoto and

Carbon Initiative” web site. ECVs for Arctic and Antarctic generated in real time from NOAA’s AVHRR data:

support to International Polar Year long-term historical dataset of polar climate change ranging from 1981 to the present.

Key documents: “Guidelines on calibration/validation for data quality control/assurance and best

practices” (WGCV) aiming at increasing the availability, suitability and reliability of observations.

“CEOS 2008 Earth Observation Handbook”: special issue on Climate Change and major update on space-based Earth Observation missions.

Implementation of thematic web portals: Climate and LSI (WGISS)

Installation of 4 additional carbon flux towers in Africa to improve the network of ground-based observations of greenhouse gases

Main Comment on Report (1/2)

Suggestion: the report should also address the CEOS’s “priority for 2009 to promote ourselves better and our achievements”.

Examples proposed: the “2 new CEOS-led GEO tasks in relation to

REDD and in relation to the GHG “

Main Comment on Report (2/2)

If CEOS agrees with that suggestion, the examples of 2009-2011 GEO Tasks could be selected according to criteria such as: GEO Tasks not mentioned earlier in the report, GEO Tasks that are new (not already in GEO 2006-2007 WP) GEO Tasks for which there has been a clear engagement of some CEOS partners

Four candidates meet the above criteria :1. CB-09-05: Infrastructure Development and Technology Transfer for Information

Access b) CBERS

2. CL-09-03: Global Carbon Observation and Analysis System b) Forest Carbon Tracking

3. CL-09-03 Global Carbon Observation and Analysis System c) Global Monitoring of Greenhouse Gases from Space

4. HE-09-03: End to End Projects for Health b) Globally coordinated malaria warning system.

CEOS Plenary is invited to agree on a subset among the 4 above GEO Tasks
