8. CEOS/WGISS ＃ 21 、 Budapest, May 8-12, 2006 8 CEOP Phase-2 Concept (1/2) CEOP has entered Phase-2 Phase-1 (through 2004, end of main data period) –Main effort was on collecting data –Science application groups were organized Phase-2 (2005–2010) emphasis is on research and system expansion to meet commitments to: –CEOS/IGOS-P Water Theme –WCRP/COPES –GEOSS

9. CEOS/WGISS ＃ 21 、 Budapest, May 8-12, 2006 9 CEOP Phase-2 will have 2 parts (follows the same schedule as GEOSS): Part-I (2005-2006) –Apply CEOP Phase-I datasets to accomplish Phase-I research goals. –Build the framework for a water cycle data system. Part-II (2007-2010) –Implement water cycle data system defined in Part-I. –Advance research in areas defined in the CEOP project (e.g. climate modeling, monsoon studies, cold climates, extreme weather events and aerosols). CEOP Phase-2 Concept (2/2)

15. CEOS/WGISS ＃ 21 、 Budapest, May 8-12, 2006 15 WGISS/WGCV Collaboration Regarding WGCV access to CEOP data: Science Purpose – check the sensitivity of models with respect to the input from various CEOS member products (e.g. MODIS LAI vs. MERIS LAI). Focus on two CEOP reference sites –Bondville –SGP (Southern Great Plains) Data will be obtained from the system it is now on. The data will be coordinated by placing links to all of the required data on a project web page (possibly on the WTF Core Sites system).
