  1. Ocean Surface Vector Wind (OSVW) Research Challenges and Operational Opportunities IOC WMO CGMS David Halpern, JPL IOC Representative and TT-SAT member JCOMM TT- SAT Action/Recommendation Proposed: Develop capacity and capability for delivering and utilizing harmonized OSVW data products for research and operational oceanography and marine meteorological applications • Contributors • Alvera, A. Bentamy, D. Berry, M. Bettenhausen, H. Bonekamp, M. Bourassa, • P. Chang, G. de Chiara, C. Donlon, J.-L. Fellous, B. Gohil, P. Hacker, D. Hauser, • J. Johannessen, J. Lambin, O. Lauret, F. Lu, D. Moroni, N. Pinardi, L. Ricciardulli, J. Schmetz, Q. Song, J. Stander, B. Stiles, A. Stoffelen, A. Uspensky, S. Woodruff • Coordinated with: CEOS OSVW Virtual Constellation, CGMS IWWG, and IOVWST CGMS-40 Plenary, 7 November 2012, Lugano, Switzerland

  2. Importance of Wind Speed and Direction G. De Chiara (2012, pc) ASCAT, ERS-2, QuikSCAT Jun-Jul 2009 Janousek et al. (2012) Forecast Error Contribution, % GCOS Atmosphere ECV – surface wind speed and direction: u(x,y), v(x,y) GCOS Ocean ECV – surface wind stress and direction: tx(x,y), ty(x,y) tx Munk (1950)

  5. JCOMM Coordination With Other Groups • 1994 • Biennial workshop: 5% on OSVW • Harmonization of cloud- and water vapor-derived AMV • Provide best-quality harmonized wind speed vector, wind stress vector, curl and divergence fields • Develop user-stated unified standards in processing, quality-control procedures, resolution, metadata, timeliness, uncertainty • Exchange in-situ verification data, software, statistical methodologies • Generate climate-quality datasets • Generate ocean forecasting services • Generate ocean currents • Produce GHRSST-type deliverables • Integrate in-situ and satellite data • Optimize collaborative interactions [no duplication] with IWWG, CEOS OSVW VC, and IOVWST • Build capacity for OSVW utilization • 2008 • Satellite OSVW-measuring instruments OSVW VC • 2010 • Annual workshop: 95% on OSVW IOVWST

  6. An Example of Successful Interoperability Central Pacific RR Union Pacific RR W E Potential Way Forward JCOMM TT-SAT OSVW Subgroup (JOS) Joint leadership meeting of JOS, IWWG, CEOS VC, IOVWST JOS invites all data providers to establish Vision and Terms of Reference DeNardis (2012) 10 May 1869 Promontory Summit, Utah Territory
