Request 1
Please can WIGOS and its associated task-teams & working
groups take into account the new GCOS Implementation Plan
and where relevant contribute.
Requirements (OSCAR)
Climate Monitoring
GCOS
Climate Services

Request 2
Do you agree with this proposal/approach.

Metadata (WIGOS)
WIGOS Metadata Standard a significant step forward.
Implementation in OSCAR shows significant benefit.
But.........
Request 3
Out of date or inaccurate metadata is a significant
problem and can create the wrong messages.
WMO Vol A has been replaced by OSCAR (Metadata).
Need to reinforce to Members their responsibility in updating

Network Monitoring
Request 5
Overlap between the work of CBS-LC-GCOS and the proposed
Regional WIGOS Centres is evident. CBS-LC-GCOS continuing
under the governance of CBS decisions but this needs to be
addressed when RWC’s are developed.
