Progress Report on Development of a Space-based Architecture for Climate Monitoring
CM-11, Item 6
WMO OMM
Motivation
• Policy framework in place (UNFCCC, IPCC reports) -- expectations are high
• Emerging national and international efforts for climate services will bring additional demands
• Space-agency investments have been considerable, and need to be leveraged
• There are still observational gaps and risks of gaps• Contingency measures exist for weather observations -- still relatively
lacking for climate observations• Greater coordination is needed in a resource-constrained environment• Long-term and sustained observations will require additional resources
