  8. Department Climate and Environment In-depth review - problems reported in reporting of information in the first and second national communication - No problems reported by in-depth review team: “ The NC2 provided a very thorough description of climate change research and systematic observation in Germany ...” But: new problems may occur when compiling a national report on global climate change observing systems for the first time. unfccc-ws20000228.ppt S.

  9. Information should be provided as far as possible as numbers, collection in tables Department Climate and Environment The UNFCCC Reporting Guidelines onGlobal Climate Change Observing Systems ? Why - What is expected ? A global synthesis report on global climate change observing systems • objective • comparable • precise Information needs to be: unfccc-ws20000228.ppt S. Rösner

  10. Department Climate and Environment The UNFCCC Reporting Guidelines onGlobal Climate Change Observing Systems ? What is needed ? • Information / input needed about: • national programme for systematic observation • national plans • responsibilities • maps of networks • data exchange policy(ies) • activities towards capacity building • participation in GCOS unfccc-ws20000228.ppt S. Rösner

  11. Department Climate and Environment The UNFCCC Reporting Guidelines onGlobal Climate Change Observing Systems - Supplementary Guidance to Parties on the Preparation of Detailed National Reports on Global Climate Observing Systems - Informal Meeting of National GCOS Coordinators, 9-11 August 2000, Bureau of Meteorology, Australia • Existing guidelines seen as a useful minimum reporting level. • Benefits seen from a more detailed reporting format. • On the national and institution level: rise awareness; point to deficiencies; make information available in a single document; regular review and update of information • On the global scale: facilitate global synthesis report; support countermeasures; priorities for action Notes are intended to provide optional additional guidance to Parties in preparing national reports on climate observing systems. They are intended to be supplementary to, and in no way replace, the guidance adopted as an Annex to Decision 5/CP.5 unfccc-ws20000228.ppt S. Rösner

  12. Department Climate and Environment Supplementary Guidance to Parties on the Preparation of Detailed National Reports on Global Climate Observing Systems Informal Meeting of National GCOS Coordinators, 9-11 August 2000, Bureau of Meteorology, Australia • Existing Tables: • Table 1. Participation in the global atmospheric observing systems • Table 2. Participation in the global oceanographic observing systems • Table 3. Participation in the global terrestrial observing systems unfccc-ws20000228.ppt S. Rösner

  13. Department Climate and Environment • Supplementary Tables in Chapter B Meteorological and atmospheric observation: • Table S1. Atmospheric observing systems for climate at the land surface (meteorological • land surface observations). • Table S2. Available homogeneous data sets for meteorological land surface observations. • Table S3. Atmospheric observing systems for climate above the surface (meteorological • upper air observations). • Table S4. Available homogeneous data sets for meteorological upper air observations. • Table S5. Atmospheric constituent observing systems for climate. • Table S6. Available homogeneous data sets for atmospheric constituents. Satellites are seen in an integrated way! unfccc-ws20000228.ppt S. Rösner

  15. Department Climate and Environment The UNFCCC Reporting Guidelines onGlobal Climate Change Observing Systems - Supplementary Guidance to Parties on the Preparation of Detailed National Reports on Global Climate Observing Systems - The Deutscher Wetterdienst started to evaluate the supplementary reporting format. It is discussed to charge the GCOS Secretariat of the Deutscher Wetterdienst with the preparation of the National Report on Global Climate Change Observing System. No decision made so far. unfccc-ws20000228.ppt S. Rösner
