2009 CEOS Tangible Outcomes2009 CEOS Tangible Outcomes2009 CEOS Tangible Outcomes2009 CEOS Tangible Outcomes
Substantial progress towards the targets of the CEOS Implementation Plan (CEOS IP) for Space-based Observations for the GEOSS
A) CEOS-GEO Actions TableAccomplishment: Commitments from CEOS agencies at SIT-23Challenge: Seeking commitments from agencies
B) Commitments from all CEOS space agencies Achievement: Success of ‘Tour de Table’ from SIT-23 and followed-up
actions with agencies in SIT-24 Challenge: A monthly telecon requests more participations from agencies
C) A third version of the CEOS IPAchievement: CEOS IP issued ahead of Plenary
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 5
Compelling, high-level demonstrations of GEOSS Space Segment outcomes in support of GEO-VI, COP-15 and GEO Ministerial meetings
Accomplishment : Dedicated team established for both GEO-VI and COP-15 preparation
o GEO-VI team led by Brian Killougho COP-15 team led by Julio D’Alge
Challenge: CEOS relations to UNFCCC are not formalised – engagement is difficult. GEO has the same challenge. Positioning and mandate of CEOS and GEO wrt UNFCCC needs to be addressed at some stage if supply of satellite observations is to get appropriate recognition in the political process

2) Provide start-up support for tasks on • Global Monitoring of Greenhouse Gases from Space• Forest Carbon Tracking from Space
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 7
Forest Carbon Tracking (CL-09-03b)Accomplishment : - Forest Carbon Tracking Communiqué was adopted at SIT-23.- The 2nd GEO Forest Monitoring Symposium was well organized on 1-
3 July 2009 with a lot of inputs from agencies and participants. - SIT Chair dedicated follow-ups with data providers. - CEOS has provided a comprehensive response to the GEO 2009 data
requirements: FM Seifert (ESA) is the CEOS PoC- Draft Data Management & Access Guidelines for the
GEO Forest Carbon Tracking Demonstrator released September 2009.
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 8
Challenge: - Governments and UN agencies need to be convinced that data supply can be secured continuously and on public good terms
(or adequate funding arrangements can be made)- Without this the role of satellites in FCT operational phase is in question in minds of the politicians- The prospect of linking success of CEOS coordination efforts to crucial global policy development in climate is a compelling
motive
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 9
Forest Carbon Tracking (CL-09-03b) cont.
CEOS Agencies involved either as FCT co-Leads or as EO data providers
o Co-Leads: currently CSIRO, ESA, JAXA, NSCo SAR: ASI, CSA, DLR, ESA, JAXAo Optical: CNES, INPE, ISRO, KARI, & USGS
Challenge: - CEOS urges FCT task to produce and promote the GEO 2009 Forest Carbon Tracking demo
dataset as soon as possible- Indicate the space agency intent- Encourage space agencies that their efforts are worthwhile and recognised
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 10
Forest Carbon Tracking (CL-09-03b) cont.
Global Monitoring of Greenhouse Gases from Space (CL-09-03c)

Accomplishment: - GEO Carbon Report has been circulated to CEOS.- JAXA as a leader of GHG task has input Space Based Measurement section on October 2009
- Multiple comments from CEOS Members in support
- Document in development for distribution at GEO-VI.Challenge: - ACC Constellation engagement important going forward
- 2010 Workshop on GHG and CEOS Response to the GEO Carbon Report?
- Anticipate increasing attention for GEO Carbon Report- Some CEOS response required – consistency with new GCOS IP should be confirmed
3) Strengthen coordination among CEOS, CGMS and WMO to optimize available
resources
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 12
Positive steps towards harmonised relations among CEOS, CGMS and the WMO Space Programme (SP) in support of efficient implementation of the GEOSS Space Segment
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 13
Accomplishments : - Endorsed QA4EO - instrument for supporting CGMS and WMO
relationship (QA4EO Workshop was held in Antalya, Turkey – Sept)- Strong WMO support on 2009 CEOS MIM database and consistency
in terminology for joint analyses purposes. CGMS offered use of MIM for their studies
- Climate coordination meeting in margins of Phuket Plenary
Positive steps towards harmonised relations among CEOS, CGMS and the WMO Space Programme (SP) in support of efficient implementation of the GEOSS Space Segment
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 14
Challenge: - An enormous challenge is presented in responding to the GCOS IP
and stewarding the ECVs and FCDRs required- Need more effective coordination among research space agencies,
operational space agencies and WMO- Increased efforts on this front are needed
4) Further develop the Data Democracy effort

Publish a high-level CEOS publication for use by CEOS at high profile forums including GEO Plenary and Ministerial
Accomplishment : - SIT Team has put a lot of effort on constructing the CEOS
deliverable document. A high-level CEOS publication is planned to develop by Troika ahead of the GEO Ministerial in late 2010, using text from the final version of the CEOS deliverables document with a support from SIT/ CEO/SEO/ and relevant agencies.
Challenge: - A lot of editorial works, support from members needed, request to
contribute on this publication.
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 20

Accomplishment : - CEOS statement on the status of CEOS response to the GCOS IP was gave in
SBSTA Plenary at COP-14 as well as CEOS side event.- A statement of CEOS support to space-based observations of GCOS was
addressed at SBSTA-30, also CEOS side meeting was succeed. - SBSTA encourages CEOS to continue involvement in global observations and
invites CEOS to give a report during SBSTA-33.- Plenary side meeting on this topic Challenge: - Strengthened relationship & systematic reporting to UNFCCC to promote the
role of CEOS in coordinating observations

6) Other Key Outcomes
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 22
Substantial progress on outcomes from the CEOS Virtual Constellations
Accomplishment : - Two new Constellations Implementation Plans have been
distributed in CEOS for review. Challenge: - Identifying short to medium term tangible outcomes – as
anticipated by the Constellations Concept- Ensuring alignment with CEOS priorities
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 23
Improvements to the various CEOS information systems employed in support of our objectives
Accomplishment : - A well-developed and up-to-date CEOS website- A new CEOS mailing list- A CEOS Missions, Instruments and Measurements (MIM) online Challenge: In General- Keeping the website current and accurate is critical to its effectiveness and use- Ensure agency contributions to provide the recent update to SEOMIM- Sustained effort annually to update MIM by all agencies- Ensure MIM are put to work in support of our coordination priorities
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 24
Raise the importance of societal impact from loss of Earth observing spectrum and of work of the Space Frequency Coordination Group (SFCG)
Accomplishment : - CSIR and SFCG establishing plan for way forward.
Challenge: - Economic and other information required beyond typical CEOS
representation.- Existing data will exist and CSIR/SFCG will need assistance to
identify and integrate
The 23rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3-5 November 2009 25
• A busy year of considerable accomplishments– GISTDA believes that our objectives as Chair were met and hope that
CEOS agrees
• Overall Challenges: – Maintaining momentum: Chair, SIT, CEO & SEO resources for 2010 will
be challenged– New opportunity presents itself with the GCOS IP update: including for
a new dialogue with CGMS & WMO Space– Increased political engagement of CEOS (and indeed GEO) seems
essential for increased support for our coordination effort
