Restricted distribution IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/5.3 Agenda Item: 5.3 Paris, February 2007 English only INTERGOVERNMENTAL OCEANOGRAPHIC COMMISSION (of UNESCO)WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATIONUNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMMEINTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE Tenth Session of the Global Ocean Observing System Scientific Steering Committee (GSSC-X) Seoul, Korea, 13 16 March 2007 JCOMM REPORT TO GSSC-X (submitted by Peter Dexter, JCOMM Co-President) JCOMM Management Committee The fifth session of the JCOMM Management Committee, which was hosted by WMO in Geneva, 5-7 October 2006, was the first formal session of the new Committee established by JCOMM-II (Halifax, September 2005), and as such it represented an important occasion for the Committee to review the overall programme, provide guidance to the Secretariat and co-presidents on major issues, and assign specific tasks for each Committee member. The participation in the meeting of Dr John Zillman, in his capacity as the new chairman of the GCOS Steering Committee, was extremely valuable for JCOMM, and served to reinforce the already strong links between the Commission and GCOS, in particular in the implementation of the ocean observing system for climate, as specified in GCOS-92. Major items addressed during the meeting included: JCOMM-II follow-up; urgent and cross-cutting issues; actions arising from the work of the Programme Areas requiring advice and input from the Management Committee; external interactions; meetings of the WMO and IOC Governing Bodies; communications, outreach and strategic development; coming major events; priorities for the current intersessional period; and funding and Secretariat support. In their report to the meeting, the co-presidents put particular stress on those issues which would require the attention of the Committee during the session, and also underlined the importance of all Committee members contributing, both to the debates during the meeting, and also directly to the implementation of specific work assignments during the remainder of the intersessional period. Specific issues and outcomes of interest included: Continued enhancements to the observing system monitoring and performance reporting, together with proposals to further expand the work and scope of JCOMMOPS into an overall observing programme support centre, encompassing experimental and pilot observing systems such as OceanSITES and ocean carbon, as well as the existing operational components; Enhancing the focus of the Services Programme Area on marine service delivery (especially for maritime safety, emergency response and hazard risk reduction), accompanied by a restructuring to support the new focus, together with a new emphasis on ocean services and the follow-on to GODAE, including the development of standards and recommended best practices for operational ocean products and services; A strategic plan for JCOMM data management is nearing completion; the JCOMM end-to-end data management pilot project is making a major contribution to WIS; and JCOMM is proceeding with the preparation of BUFR tables for non-physical ocean variables; Three major scientific conferences sponsored by JCOMM are planned for the remainder of the intersessional period: a storm surge symposium, Seoul, October 2007; CLIMAR-III, Warsaw, May 2008; and a maritime services conference, Exeter, October 2008; The JCOMM web presence is being substantially upgraded and unified under a new domain name ( HYPERLINK "http://www.jcomm.info" www.jcomm.info); A greater emphasis across JCOMM programme areas on standards and quality control practices, for observational data, metadata, products and services; Review and reiteration of the importance of JCOMM direct involvement in and input to a range of cross-cutting activities, including marine multi-hazard warning systems, the IPY, GEO/GEOSS, and the implementation of coastal GOOS. The Committee also supported an enhanced JCOMM interaction with other WMO technical commissions, in particular CBS, CCl and CAS; The Committee provided the co-presidents with a strong message to take to the GOOS Regional Forum in Cape Town, 13-17 November 2006, regarding the role of JCOMM in coastal GOOS implementation, and indicating areas where JCOMM can and will provide direct input and support (including the development of new BUFR tables as noted above); Agreement on preparation of a JCOMM strategic implementation plan for capacity building, to be completed within 3 months; Agreement on the annotated table of contents for a JCOMM implementation plan, as well as a timetable for its preparation (by a consultant, Jim Baker) and completion (late 2007); agreement also on the preparation and implementation of a JCOMM communications strategy; Support for a continued and enhanced JCOMM dialogue with the private sector, as a follow-up to the recommendations of the JCOMM/GOOS/Industry task team meeting in March 2006; Review of and provision of some input to the WMO Strategic Plan 2008-2011, as well as agreement on procedures and a timetable for JCOMM input to the IOC/UNESCO Medium-Term Strategy, as well as to Cg-XV and IOC Assembly XXIV in 2007. Overall, it is clear that a lot has already been accomplished in the past year, and the Commission is well on track to achieving a substantial proportion of its objectives for the current intersessional period, despite a chronic shortfall of regular budget funding in both parent Organizations, below that required for basic programme coordination support. Efforts are underway to secure extra-budgetary funding for a range of programme implementation activities, but this still only partially addresses the problem. In retrospect, the time allocated to the meeting (2.5 days) was insufficient to adequately cover the agenda and the large number of issues to be considered, meaning that useful debates often had to be curtailed. On the positive side, however, this fifth meeting of the JCOMM Management Committee was more efficiently conducted and more effective in its outcomes than any of the previous four sessions, reflecting the large amount of preparatory work put in by the co-presidents and Secretariat to focus the agenda, input documentation, and subsequent discussions, on those issues requiring management decisions. After some discussion, it was agreed that the Management Committee should continue to meet ever year, at least while JCOMM continued to evolve rapidly. The next session will therefore be in late September 2007, in Paris, this time for the more normal 4 days. Oceanography Meetings, Hobart, 11 and 15 July 2006 Background The Second Open Science Conference of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) took place in Hobart, Australia, from 12-14 July 2006. A number of side meetings were organized in conjunction with this conference, including, inter alia, a meeting of the SCAR/SCOR Expert Group on Oceanography (10-11 July) and a Workshop on a Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) (15 July), sponsored by POGO, CoML and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. Peter Dexter was invited to address the Expert Group meeting on 11 July, and to present a paper to the SOOS workshop, in his capacity as co-president of JCOMM. He also represented the Bureau of Meteorology at both meetings. SCAR/SCOR Expert Group on Oceanography The SCAR/SCOR Expert Group has been set up to encourage an inter-disciplinary approach to Southern Ocean observations, modelling and research, recognizing the inter-dependence of physical, chemical and biological processes in the ocean at present and in the past; to facilitate coordination between the physical oceanographic research groups currently active and those planning research in the Southern Ocean; to identify historical and reference data sets of value to researchers, focusing initially on physical oceanography data; to encourage the exchange of information with operational agencies; and to recognize the need to develop initiatives for education and training. The initial focus of the Group is on physical oceanography, to ensure that a comprehensive view is obtained of the physical processes on which biological and chemical processes ultimately depend. The activities of the Group are complementary to, and do not duplicate, the activities of other groups currently active in Southern Ocean research, such as Southern Ocean GLOBEC, the CLIVAR/CliC/SCAR Southern Ocean Implementation Panel, iAnZone (which is affiliated to both SCAR and SCOR), and future projects sponsored by SCOR, such as GEOTRACES, the Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER) project, and the Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS). The presentation to the group on JCOMM, which followed and was complementary to a presentation on GOOS by Colin Summerhayes, was intended to introduce the group to a wider intergovernmental perspective on the global coordination of ocean observing systems and services. It outlined JCOMMs existing capabilities and interests, with a focus on the Southern Ocean, and suggested ways in which JCOMM might cooperate with the Expert Group, in particular in the follow up to the IPY. The meeting recognized the potential value of cooperation with JCOMM, and identified some immediate actions, which include investigating the possibilities for JCOMMOPS to support its work through the development of monitoring and status products for ocean observations (including non-physical) in the Southern Ocean. The group also recognized the need for a more systematic and sustained approach to monitoring the Southern Ocean, and agreed to cooperate in and support any wider initiative to develop a SOOS. SOOS Workshop The importance of the Southern Ocean in global climate and its role in climate change is well known, and this region has become an important focus in climate and oceanographic research. The region is remote and logistically difficult to operate, so a range of methods are used by many different national research programmes to collect the data required to conduct this research. Ship-based techniques and ARGO floats are commonly used at present, and there is increasing interest in data that can be obtained from birds and mammals that live in the region. This SOOS workshop brought together oceanographers, biologists and engineers, to investigate the development of a coordinated program for a Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS). The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) is coordinating projects on top predators, as part of an integrated approach to the diversity of organisms and their environment. The potential of this approach has been recognised by the International Polar Year (IPY), which has endorsed Marine Mammal Exploration of the Oceans Pole to Pole (MEOP) as one of its programs. Such a program is an important adjunct to major biology and oceanographic programs such as CoML and GOOS. The overall objective of this workshop was to examine the feasibility of establishing a Southern Ocean Observation System (SOOS), and in particular to investigate the possibility of incorporating data collected by marine mammals and seabirds. The presentation to the workshop on JCOMM, which again followed and was complementary to the presentation on GOOS by Colin Summerhayes, was intended to introduce the meeting to the wider intergovernmental perspective on the global coordination of ocean observing systems and services. It again outlined JCOMMs existing capabilities and interests, with a focus on the Southern Ocean, and suggested ways in which JCOMM might support and contribute to the development, implementation and maintenance of a Southern Ocean Observing System. From a personal perspective, the workshop was interesting because of the wider view it gave of the non-physical aspects of ocean observing systems, as well as of the increasing and widespread use of marine mammals as platforms for ocean observations, to complement more conventional platforms such as ships and buoys. During the afternoon discussion session, the need for, and difficulties inherent in making the case for comprehensive and sustained observations of the Southern Ocean, as opposed to the current situation of specific and un-coordinated research projects, was clearly recognized. In this context, it was agreed that support and advocacy for a SOOS would eventually be required from bodies such as the UNFCCC/COP (for ocean observations for climate) and the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Organization (for biological and other non-physical observations). The meeting eventually agreed that a more comprehensive, broadly-based, three-day workshop will be necessary, to fully develop the case and design plan for a SOOS. This workshop is now scheduled to take place in Bremen in early October 2007. Both JCOMM and GOOS will input to and be represented at the workshop. Potentially, the developing SOOS concept represents the best chance yet to develop a comprehensive ocean observing system in the Southern Ocean, building on the legacy of the IPY, and as such, both GOOS and JCOMM need to play prominent roles. WMO Executive Council, 58th Session JCOMM in plenary Both the JCOMM co-presidents were present for the report to plenary on JCOMM and the results of JCOMM-II, and for the subsequent discussions. The verbal report was delivered by the JCOMM co-president Dr. Peter Dexter. Unfortunately, the plenary discussions were dominated by the ship security issue (see the paragraphs below), leaving little time for any comment or debate on JCOMM, its programme and priorities, and on the recommendations from JCOMM-II. Nevertheless, what reaction there was to JCOMM and its work was very positive, and the recommendations were all approved without comment or apparent concern. Two EC members stressed the importance of marine meteorological services to the large number of maritime Members in Africa, and urged that special attention should be paid to assisting Members in the region to enhance their capacity to provide such services to their user communities. In response, the co-president and Secretariat referred to the major regional development projects in marine meteorology and oceanography that have been prepared, for West Africa and the Western Indian Ocean (WIOMAP). Funding support for both is now being actively sought. JCOMM side meeting The timing for the special JCOMM Information Session was a little unfortunate, coming immediately after an unscheduled long night session of the Council, so attendance was lower than hoped. Nevertheless, the response of participants to the presentation by the co-president was very positive and supportive. The presentation covered not just JCOMM objectives, programmes, status and priorities, in particular as they relate to WMO and its Members, but also detailed governance, Secretariat support and funding aspects of the jointly sponsored Commission. There is now evidence of an enhanced understanding of and support for JCOMM, in WMO, IOC and within the JCOMM community itself, which is encouraging. This all builds on the more positive, informed and enthusiastic response to JCOMM work and achievements evident in the debates at JCOMM-II. Ship security issue Over recent years, mounting concern has been expressed at the increased security risks to ships participating in the VOS scheme, resulting from the ready availability of their observations and associated ID and position, in real time, on web sites outside the control of NMHS. The issue is not so much that there have actually been security incidents related to the availability of this information, but that ships masters perceive an increased risk to their safety. This concern has been openly expressed in ICS, and has led already to the withdrawal of some ships from the VOS. The issue has been brought to the attention of EC in previous years, without significant response, and was again raised strongly at EC-58 by the co-president of JCOMM, with some proposals from JCOMM for strong action by WMO to respond to the concerns. Unfortunately, EC did not accept the primary JCOMM proposal, and instead adopted, through Res. 3.4.4/2, a partial solution, involving the masking of the call signs of some of the VOS reports for GTS distribution. As well as only partially addressing the problem, this solution also complicates the management of the ship metadata for real time data quality monitoring and feedback, as well as for climate studies. Considerable work, therefore, remains to be done in the coming year, through the high level dialogue established by EC (involving interested/affected NMHS, JCOMM, CBS, IMO, ICS, shipping companies), which is to report again to EC-59 in 2007, if we are to avoid a severe reduction in the VOS numbers in the near future. High Level Meeting on Ship Security The high level meeting on ship security called for by WMO EC Res 3.4.4/2 took place in Geneva, 12/13 February, with participation from Australia, France/E-Surfmar, Japan, UK, USA, ICS, IMO, Intercargo/Intertanko, CBS, CCl and JCOMM. The meeting was chaired by Capt. Gordon Mackie, former Marine Superintendent UK Met Office and WMO consultant on maritime safety matters. The meeting clearly recognized the seriousness of the security issue to the shipping industry as articulated by ICS and IMO, and agreed on the need for action. It noted that essentially two different approaches to ship call sign masking had been developed and proposed for implementation a generic masking through substitution of the callsign by SHIP in GTS distribution (Japan and USA), with access to a secure data base containing the observational data with real ship ID available only to selected recipients; and some form of call sign coding, for distribution on the GTS with the observations (Australia and E-Surfmar). More or less complex data management procedures are required with both approaches to ensure that the correct ship metadata are assigned to the observations for use in real time data quality monitoring and climate studies. The meeting recognized that it would not be possible to resolve and unify the two approaches in the short term, and therefore agreed: To recommend to WMO EC to continue the callsign masking trials for another year, based of the two identified approaches; That the JCOMM Ship Observations Team should establish a small Task team to review the trials and make recommendations of the best approach to be adopted in the long-term, as well as the most appropriate data management procedures to ensure that the concerns for quality monitoring and climate studies are adequately addressed. The SOT is to meet next in Geneva in mid-April 2007. The meeting also looked at ways of enhancing the involvement of the shipping industry in meteorological and oceanographic observation programmes, and agreed to develop a number of pilot projects relating to both the observing programmes and the applications of the data and resulting benefits for the industry. These are to include the professional preparation of a video or DVD for use in particular in ship recruitment. IOC Executive Council, 39th session Both the JCOMM co-presidents were present for the report to plenary on JCOMM and the results of JCOMM-II, and for the subsequent discussions. The verbal report was delivered by the JCOMM co-president Dr. Jean-Louis Fellous. Member States of the Council expressed their appreciation for the significant progress made in JCOMM activities, and a number of delegations described their contributions to the work of JCOMM. The Executive Council recognized that support from the regular budget was not likely to change during the current biennium, that extra-budgetary funds would need to be secured for JCOMM to accomplish the work plan approved by JCOMM-II, and therefore urged Member States to consider this extra-budgetary support for specific activities. The representative from WMO emphasized the strong partnership that exists between IOC and WMO on JCOMM. The Executive Council recognized the challenges associated with this collaboration, and noted that JCOMM provided an incentive for the oceanographic and meteorological communities at the national level to work together for the advancement of oceanography and marine meteorology. Emphasis was given to the importance of communicating the activities of the Technical Commission, both within the JCOMM community and externally. Finally the Executive Council urged that the work plan and priorities of JCOMM should be incorporated into the IOC Medium Term Strategy, and adopted Resolution EC-XXXIX (4.3.1) to take action on the recommendations adopted by JCOMM-II. ___________     IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/5.5.2 page  PAGE 10 IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/5.3 page  PAGE 5 IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/5.3 page  PAGE 6 IOC-WMO-UNEP-ICSU/GSSC-X/5.5.2 Annex page  PAGE 1 12345BDEMZ[ij g h v ο󍂍xqmq`PDh\#mH nHsH tHh>/hyCJaJnHo(tHh#CJaJnHo(tHh# h>/h#h>/h#5\h#5CJ\aJh#CJaJh#h#CJaJnHo(tHh#CJaJnHo(tHhCJaJnHo(tHh#h#CJaJnHtHh\#CJaJnHtHh*csCJaJnHtHho]_CJaJnHo(tHh#h#CJPJaJ5[ij $$Ifa$gd>wgd# '7$8$]'`gd# '7$8$]'`gd '7$8$]'`gd\# YY A h ~~~~~ytogd\#gd#gdo]_$a$gd#gd#skd$$Ifx\ q)   U(4 xayt>w Ǵta]VODO6Djh\#h\#Ujh\#h\#U h\#h\# h\#hhh\#$h\#h\#CJOJQJaJmH sH h\#h*csnHtHh\#h\#nHtHh#nHtH%hVh#5\mH nHo(sH tHh\#5\mH nHsH tH%hVhV5\mH nHo(sH tHh#mH nHsH tHh#mH sH h\#mH nHsH tHh#mH nHo(sH tHh*csmH nHsH tH qrd^V5iRSYZ $ & F 7$8$H$a$gd\#$a$gd\# $1$a$gd\#gd#!!!!!"$$$$&1'3'y'z'{'- ..3f;g;h;i;;;;;;2@3@4@G@CCIIIIRRRSĹĦěě呆|||th\#h\#5h\#h\#6]h\#h\#5H*\h\#h\#5\hhh\#B*ph"""%hhh\#56CJOJQJ]aJh\#h\#B*phh\#h\#B*ph"""hhh\#56] h\#hhh\# h\#h\#jh\#h\#Uh\#h\#0J%- !!!!!""$$$$z'* *+,-- ..337$a$gd\#)$a$gdh$a$gdh)$a$gd\#($a$gd\#$a$gd\#77g;h;i;;;;;2@3@4@G@H@CCCCEEFFIII$ & p@ P !a$gd\#gd\#$a$gd\#IIINN@OAOO7Q8QRRRSSTTXXXXYYY Y Y$a$gd\#gd# $ & Fa$gd\#$a$gd\#SXXYYYYY Y Y YYY"Y)Y+Y.Y/Y4Y5Y;YY{lYKY: hh0JCJaJhmHnHuh\.hh0JCJaJh$jh\.hh0JCJUaJhh\.hhCJaJmH sH 'h\.hhCJaJmH nHo(sH tHhhB*CJaJnHphtH"hhB*CJaJnHo(phtHh\.hhB*CJaJphhKC]hhB*CJaJphhfjhfUh\#hznHtHh\#nHtHh\#h\#nHtH h\#h\# Y Y YYY/Y@YAYBY_YoYpYqYYYYY y$Bgdr39$ y$B^a$gdr39$ y$B^a$gd\# $B^ $B^gd\# y$B$ y$B^a$gd#$ y$B^a$gd*cs>Y?YAYBYTY[Y]Y_YdYeYkYlYmYnYoYpYqYYYYYYYY˼|q|`|R˼?$h\.hhCJaJmH nHsH tHhhCJOJQJmH sH  hh0JCJaJhmHnHuhh0JCJaJhjhh0JCJUaJhhhCJOJQJmH sH hhB*CJaJnHphtH"hhB*CJaJnHo(phtHh\.hhB*CJaJphhKC]hhB*CJaJphhhh\.hhCJaJmH sH $jh\.hh0JCJUaJhYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY޾zf޾bWh\#hznHtHhf'h\.hhCJaJmH nHo(sH tHhhB*CJaJnHphtH"hhB*CJaJnHo(phtHh\.hhB*CJaJphhKC]hhB*CJaJphhhh\.hhCJaJmH sH  hh0JCJaJhmHnHu$jh\.hh0JCJUaJhh\.hh0JCJaJhYYYYYYY$a$gd\#gdr39 y$B^gdr39: 00&P 1hP.
