the Commission for Basic Systems (CBS) perspective World Meteorological Organization Working together in weather, climate and water WMO Why is OSCAR needed: the Commission for Basic Systems (CBS) perspective Geneva, 27 May 2015 Dr. Jochen Dibbern Chair, CBS OPAG-IOS May 27, 2015 Cg-17
OSCAR OSCAR is addressing two fundamental requirements allowing to maintain and access information on: technology-free user requirements for observation of geophysical variables, for all application areas; and, Observing Systems Capabilities for global observing systems relevant to WIGOS (both surface-based and space-based). May 27, 2015 Cg-17
OSCAR Expert Teams and Groups in CBS OPAG-IOS have lead the development of OSCAR OSCAR is the official repository of user requirements OSCAR delivers surface based and space based observing system capabilities OSCAR delivers a description of the contributing observing networks (instrument/site/platform metadata), and their capabilities; OSCAR will be use as an observations metadata repository and thus OSCAR provides a useful tool for gap analysis and critical review OSCAR is a tool for design, planning and optimized evolution of Global Observing Systems May 27, 2015 Cg-17
