CBS Lead Centers for GCOS Have Authority to Contact Country Directly WMO Very Formal About Contact with Members Japanese Met Service First for GSN Then NCDC for GSN and GUAN Recently IRAN for GSN and GUAN Now Australia and Morocco for GSN and GUAN

Lead Center Representatives Hiroshi NakamigawaJMA Matt MenneUS Mina JabbariIran Phil AlfordAustralia Rachid SebbariMorocco Jonathan ShanklinBAS Jorge CarrascoChile

CBS Lead Centers Training Session Last month Good Progress Already Iran has contacted >12 Countries Retrieved Historic Data See Results Already Language, Cultural, & Regional Differences

CBS Lead Centers Initial Recommendations Additional Centers Needed Africa (IGAD and SADC) Europe Yearly Coordination Meetings All Centers Equal, GCOS be LEAD Lead Center

GCOS Technical Support Projects Three One Year Projects Established Pacific Islands (New Zealand Met Service) Caribbean (Private Company) SADC Africa (Botswana Met Service) Visit Each GUAN Station 2 Times per Year Visit as Many GSN as Possible Monitor reports from all Stations

Technical Support Projects Site Visits: Better Meta Data Including Photos Around Sensor Suite Actual Location of Many are Wrong Many are no Longer Good Sites Calibration and Training

GCOS Technical Support Projects Terms of Reference Visit each GUAN 2 times per Year Visit as many GSN as Possible Actively Monitor all GUAN/GSN Up to 3 Unscheduled Repair Missions/Year Training and Calibration Limited Common Spare Parts Quarterly Reports

GCOS Technical Support Projects Finding Lots of Station Problems Encroachment of Airports, Errors, etc Begun Station Position Verification and Photos Made Part of Each Site Visit GPS Receiver used to verify Position Working With NCDC on Meta Data Format and Content

Photos Around Station Example
