What’s Next ?

New GSE Services in consolidation

• Food Security • Risk-EOS• TerraFirma• Urban Services• Forest Monitoring• SAGE• CoastWatch• ROSES• ICEMON• Northern View• RESPOND (Humanitarian Aid)• PROMOTE (Atmospheric compositon)

Scaling up GSE Services

• Rationalization service-portfolios

• Merging supply teams

• Gaining operational acceptance– Service validation

• Improving performance & benefits

• Addressing sustainability

GSE co-location week 3(Frascati May 03-07)

• Critical review of services • User federation, communities & leadership• Supply-side synergies• Service-level agreements, service partnership agreements• Service validation, standards, certification…• Infrastructure & Data Needs• Benefits• Sustainability

Based on phase 1 experience (Documented user-feedback)

Critical Inputs for next phase of GSE 2005-2007

Key questions…

• What makes a GMES Service a “GMES Service”

• Do we have a complete view of user needs & the user base for GMES Services

• How strong is the user demand, how cohesive is the user base ?

• Organize around the users or around the supply ?

Different answers => different implementation approach

GMES Interim ReportRecommendations

Way forward 2004-2008

• Establish GMES Organizational Framework• Mechanisms for permanent dialogue with Users• Start to implement Priority Services• Strategy on GMES Data & Information• Capacity & interfaces for improved access• Develop required space capabilities (2008)• Assess & develop relevant in-situ capabilities• Organize & fund Underpinning RTD activities• Develop International partnership• Appropriate funding mechanisms

Continuity of Observations

• Sine-qua-non constraint, – stated repeatedly by many end-user organizations

participating in the GMES Service Element,

• They cannot today move towards greater reliance on satellite-based surveillance (SAR or otherwise), without having an assurance of effective continuity of the observation data sources in the future.

GMES Space ComponentDrivers for Observations continuity

2008 onwards…

• C-Band SAR• Ocean, Ice, Geohazards (INSAR)• Continuity ERS, ASAR observations

• Medium-res multispectral• SPOT, Landsat class observations

• Ocean-colour / Radar Altimetry• MERIS, MODIS class• ERS RA, RA-2 class

• LEO Atmospheric Monitoring• Stratosphere, profiles, • Continiuity GOMOS, MIPAS, Scia limb

• GEO Atmospheric Monitoring • Pollution, hi-res temporal & spatial

EO Summit Declaration

• Affirmed need for timely, quality, long-term, global information as a basis for sound decision making.

• Recognized need to support:

1)Comprehensive, coordinated, sustained Earth observation system or systems;

2)Coordinated effort to address capacity-building needs related to Earth obs;

3)Exchange of observations in a full and open manner with minimum time delay and minimum cost; and

4)Preparation of a 10-year Implementation Plan, building on existing systems and initiatives

1) Framework for Tokyo ministerial, April or May 2004

2) 10-year plan for Brussels ministerial in late 2004.

• Established ad hoc Group on Earth Observations (GEO) to develop Plan

• Invited other governments to join.

• Understanding environmental factors affecting human health and well being

• Improving management of energy resources

• Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating, and adapting to climate variability and change

• Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating, and adapting to climate variability and change

• Improving weather information, forecasting, and warning

• Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification • Understanding, monitoring, and conserving biodiversity


Global Earth ObservationSystem of Systems (i)


• Comprehensive– by including observations and products gathered from all

components required to serve the needs of participating members

• Coordinated– in terms of leveraging resources of individual contributing

members to accomplish this system, whose total capacity is greater than the sum of its parts

• Sustained– by the collective and individual will and capacity of

participating members

Global Earth ObservationSystem of Systems (ii)


• Socio-economic benefits as roadmap– by including observations and products

gathered from

• Incremental architetural model– Build on existing systems, distributed

• Fill critical gaps– e.g: parameters, geographic, access,

specs

Global Earth ObservationSystem of Systems (iii)


• Full & open exchange of observations– Minimum cost, minmum delay

• Assure data utility & useabilty– Calibration, valdation, spatial & temporal resolution

• Assured continuity of observations– Of many prameters & products already in place

• Robust regulatory framework for EO– Eg protection of radio frequencies for EO
