Status of WIGOS ImplementationCg-XVI (May-June 2011): Decided to implement WIGOS - Res.50 (Cg-XVI), Requests the regional associations:
(1) To develop their regional WIGOS implementation plans;(2) To coordinate WIGOS implementation activities with the WIS in their operating plans and work programmes;(3) To promote capacity-building and outreach activities to assist Members in the implementation of WIGOS;
Requested TCs to:– Guide technical aspects of WIGOS implementation– Incorporate WIGOS in their operating plans– Provide technical guidance and advice to Members and RAs– Develop guidance for the design and evolution of WIGOS– Develop standards to support WIGOS– Update WMO Regulatory Material, (TR, WIGOS Manual,..)– Requested EC-LXIII to establish ICG-WIGOS
Status of WIGOS Implementation
ICG-WIGOS: 1st session (Sep.2011): recommendations and guidance on key
WIGOS implementation activities TT-WIP (Mar.2012) -draft WIP, TT-WRM (Nov.2012), TT-WMD
Members own and manage their national observing systems ICG-WIGOS Strategy:
RAs “own” and manage their regional observing networkso They develop regional requirementso They provide input into global requirementso They identify issues and set priorities for their regional networkso They coordinate and manage the implementation within their
regions TCs assist RAs, solve technical problems, provide advice, and assist
with implementation. Very important for each RA to have its RIP approved by mid 2013 &
the key top level oversight & working mechanism in place.
Status of WIGOS Implementation
• CBS-XV (September 2012)– Agreed on EGOS-IP, one of the two basic WIGOS
implementation plans (will be submitted to EC-65)
• EC-64: – Adopted WIP (Res.10) and requested:
• Members, RAs and TCs to organize their activities as to realize WIP
• CBS & CIMO to provide technical lead in WIGOS implementation
• ICG-WIGOS to keep WIP under regular review, monitor the progress, update WIP and report to Cg-17
• Members to continue providing resources (TF, JPO, SE)
Understanding WIGOS Plans WIGOS Framework Implementation Plan (WIP) :
Plan to develop practices & procedures to be documented in WIGOS Regulatory Material (such as Technical Regulations)
Provides guidance to Regions & Members to prepare their IPs Regional Implementation Plan(s) (R-WIP):
Responding to WIP Includes Regional priorities Provides further guidance to Members
National Implementation Plan(s) (N-WIP): Respond to WIP & R-WIP Includes national priorities Plan to implement improved functionalities of the existing observing systems
based on practices described in the WMO Regulatory Material Agents for implementation:
WIP = TCs (in collaboration with RAs and Members) R-WIP = RAs (in collaboration with TCs and Members) N-WIP = Members (in collaboration with RAs and TCs)

implementation based on the guidance from WIP Modify the pre-defined text accordingly Identify a Regional body that will coordinate implementation of WIGOS;
project management and monitoring Identify a mechanism for Regional partnership within WIGOS Identify a Regional body responsible for the design and evolution of the
Regional WIGOS Network Identify joint activities that provide synergies at Regional level
Identify and document regional priorities for WIGOS implementation Follow the existing strategic and other plans relevant for the Region Respond to evolving needs and emerging capabilities in the Region Address regional gaps in both infrastructure and capacities
Provide further guidance to Members
Guidance for R-WIP development Develop implementation activities for the 10 Key
areas and complete Table 1: Examine the equivalent table in the WIP for guidance; The identified activities should be more specific and
more focused to Region than those contained in the WIP;
Only detail two or three activities under each heading so as not to describe an overly ambitious plan;
As far as possible, insert realistic timeframes for completing each activity;
Identify who is to be primarily responsible for carrying out the work;
Provide realistic estimates of the resources required, and where these are to come from;
Attempt to identify the key risks that may interfere with successful completion of the activity.
