IN-05 Gap Analysis
DefinitionIdentify and address critical gaps in observational
networks that reflect, in particular, the needs of developing countries, the need for continuity in space-based and in-situ observations, and the potential benefits of an interactive observing system to support user needs (Weather Target)
[also supported by GEOSS Mid-Term Evaluation]
Major Discussion Points
• Recommend this task move to Institutions and Development.
• The current gap analysis work has (in draft) identified five types of gap analysis various collections need to perform.– M&E work and gap analysis work must also be
harmonized.• Remove Deliverable 2 based on gap analysis work
and incorporate into the deliverables
Based on Gap Analysis Exercise Work in Progress
• Domain-focused (SBA; as needed)
• Structural (work plan outputs fit to other inputs; year before Work Plan review)
• Observational (observations and parameters, continuity, publishing, what’s not there; halfway through implementation plan)
• Periodic meta-analysis of the top three to pull together higher profile outputs for GEO community (feeding into Ministerial meetings)
• GEOSS prioritization principles (across domains)
