Collaborations among TCs for GFCS Implementation
from the perspective of CAgM
Byong-Lyol LEE
President of CAgM
Objectives & Expectations
• To share impending issues within CAgM for future collaborations in GFCS implementations with TCs, RAs and Secretariat
• To invite suggestions/recommendations from PTC for efficient GFCS implementations by TCs under limited resource availability while reflecting WMO requirements including strategic plan. (human, financial, infrastructure & governance)
• To report recent progresses having been made with obstacles confronted or expected during implementation processes
• To bring up any necessity of re-structuring of CAgM for better management and operation in order to meet user requirements from member countries under GFCS umbrella

WMO Requirements to CAgM
a. Internal working methods, …deciding on implementation priorities, b. Mechanisms to strengthen the global cooperative system c. Projects for the needs of developing countries d. External communications, resource mobilisation and capacity development
GFCS Implementation Priorities by WMO
1. Capacity building in developing countries (CB) Linking climate service users and providers. Building national capacity for climate services.
2. Strengthening the Climate Services Information System (CSIS) Standardizing products; promoting WIS; facilitating access to, use of
GPC products Strengthening regional climate capabilities through establishing and
promoting RCCs and RCOFs
3. Building capacity to implement the User Interface Platform (UIP)
4. Improving climate observations in data sparse areas (OM)
5. Building the capacity of the climate research sector (RMP)

feedback
Advanced service based on ICT sharing
ICT Resource Sharing Platform
• Region-specific Service Platforms– Currently 3 to at least 6 servers with differentiated
functions
• Computing resources for– NWPs operation on user domain on time– NWP output downscaling to high spatial resolutions– User-specific AgModel operation on time– GIS S/W operation– RS data processing– Derived products processing
• Large volume of data storage for– NWP and AgModel outputs– RS/GIS raw and processed data– Ground truth data (vegetation, weather, soil)
