  17. The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) • A high-level (“ministerial”) intergovernmental policy-oriented activity • • Themes • - Disasters - Weather • - Health - Ecosystems • - Energy - Agriculture • - Climate - Biodiversity • - Water • • Water theme “work plan” tasks • - Droughts, Floods and Water Resource Management • - Capacity Building for Water Resource Management • - Integrated Products for Water Resource Management and Research 4th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop 11 – 15 October 2010, Hamburg, Germany

  18. The GEO Precip Sub-task (1/2) • Sub-task definition (as given in the 2009-2011 Work Plan): • • Under the guidance of CGMS/IPWG • - promote and advance the development and validation of multi-sensor satellite- based precip estimates • - including snowfall • • Inputs from the Precipitation Virtual Constellation (AR-09-02a) will supplement these efforts 4th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop 11 – 15 October 2010, Hamburg, Germany

  19. The GEO Precip Sub-task (2/2) • Scope of the GEO precip activity • • Integrate satellite data and products with surface observations and numerical model information to provide long-term, fine-scale records of global precip • • Participate in analyses of the global water and energy cycle (WEC) • - explore this crucial element of the global environment • - constrain the permissible values of precip by comparison to estimates of the other components 4th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop 11 – 15 October 2010, Hamburg, Germany

  20. Overlapping Groups • Integrated Global Water Cycle Observations (IGWCO) • • orginally formed under the Integrated Global Observing Strategy Partnership • (IGOS-P) • develop and promote strategies for the coordination of diverse global water cycle observing systems • progress towards an integrated water cycle observation system that • unites data from different sources (e.g. satellite systems, in-situ networks, field experiments, and new data platforms) • with emerging data assimilation and modeling capabilities • • adopted by GEO as the “Community of Practice” for precipitation • Committee on Earth Observation Satellites - Precipitation Constellation (CEOS-PC) • • GPM is adopted as the prototype 4th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop 11 – 15 October 2010, Hamburg, Germany

  22. Precip Subtask Activities 2008-2010 • CGMS recommended the IPWG Co-Chairs to lead • Co-Chair George Huffman is the “point of contact” for WA-08-01d • A first Task Plan was submitted, revised 2 or 3 times • Meetings • 3rd Precipitation Constellation Workshop, 29-30 October 2009, Salt Lake City, UT, CEOS-PC [G.

  23. Closing Thoughts • Precipitation is seen as a pathfinder for other water cycle dataset subtasks • • Level of organization, activity, funding, data sources • • Multi-sensor combinations • The buzzword in GEO is “integration” • • There’s a great deal of interaction that just hasn’t been cast in a GEO framework • • Integration is included in the subtask charter • What more does GEO need to be doing? • • Improve interaction with additional groups • • Advocate for the necessary resources (satellites, archive reanalysis activities, etc.) 4th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop 11 – 15 October 2010, Hamburg, Germany

  24. IPWG Workshop Goals Christian Klepp University Hamburg, KlimaCampus Max-Planck-Institut for Meteorology Hamburg, Germany George J. Huffman Science Systems and Applications, Inc.

  25. Recall the IPWG Objectives • Promote standard operational procedures and common • software for deriving precipitation estimates from satellites • Establish standards for validation and independent verification • of precipitation measurements • Foster the exchange of data on inter-comparisons of operational • precipitation measurements from satellites • Stimulate increased international scientific research and • development in this field • Provide recommendations to national and international agencies • regarding the utilization of current and future satellite instruments • on both polar and geostationary platforms • Encourage regular education and training activities • Take a lead role in the GEO precip subtask, WA-08-01d in 2008 4th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop 11 – 15 October 2010, Hamburg, Germany

  26. The Big Picture • Review current and planned satellites, instruments, datasets, and retrievals • Identify gaps and opportunities in precipitation science • Develop recommendations for IPWG and CGMS (and GEO) about • progress • needs • Establish linkages, collaborations to make progress in • research • dataset distribution • education/outreach • The Working Groups are key to these goals • As you present, listen, and discuss: • “What are the next important actions?” 4th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop 11 – 15 October 2010, Hamburg, Germany
