Objective It is a given that GRAs have their own priorities, contrasting governance structures, and ocean observing capabilities that differ significantly in their levels of development. Partnerships between research and operational communities are needed to sustain the provision of quality controlled data in forms and at rates specified by user groups for both research and applied purposes relevant to achieving the six societal goals of GOOS. Issues: How to do this in those regions that are dominated by developing countries with differing capabilities? Probably not a role of GSSC, but should be done within participating nations and GRAs? Bearing in mind the importance collaborating with existing programs of the sponsors as appropriate and of national participation in the JCOMM Sessions, the focus here is on mechanisms for implementing regional ocean observing systems globally with priority given to developing the capacity for routine and sustained observations, data management, analysis and modeling in regions dominated by developing countries. Thus, the objective is to promote and enable the development of scientifically and technically sound regional ocean observing systems and a Global Coastal Network that meet the data and information needs of user groups regionally and globally. GSSC Action: To these ends, endorse the report of the Joint JCOMM-GSSC-GRA Task Team report on Implementing the Coastal Module of GOOS and communicate this to the I-GOOS Board. immediate 2. Mechanisms for Implementing Regional Ocean Observing Systems 2.1 GOOS Regional Alliances (GRAs) Successful development of GRAs is critical to implementing the coastal module. GRAs are coordinating bodies for national commitments to implementing GOOS. They have been created to meet common scientific, technical or logistic needs and social and political aspirations that can benefit from coordinated ocean observing system elements. GRAs are recognized and encouraged as an important bottom up means to build the GOOS through the gradual development of regional and national observing systems leading to enlarged spheres of coordination and cooperation. As such, GRAs are responsible for designing and implementing Regional Ocean Observing Systems that contribute to the development of GOOS as a whole and provide data and information on oceans and coasts that are needed by user groups in the respective regions for decision making, research and education. I-GOOS Action: Work to obtain National commitments to ensure that GRAs have the support needed to perform these management functions for those GRAs that meet the criteria for being designated a GRA as specified in GOOS policies and procedures. 2.2 Scientifically and Technically Sound Implementation of the Coastal Module The IGOS Coastal Theme and the Joint JCOMM-GSSC-GRA Task Team both recommend the establishment of a Joint [GOOS-GTOS] Panel for Integrated Coastal Observations [across the land-sea interface]. GSSC Action: Create a Sub-Panel of the GSSC for Integrated Coastal Observations (PICO) as a first step toward establishing a Joint [GOOS-GTOS]-PICO in due course. Draft Terms of Reference are appended to this document. Reduce the size of the GSSC accordingly. immediate 2.3 Pilot Projects Pilot projects are proof of concept organized activities that are intended to improve operational capabilities of GOOS. Projects should focus on implementing requirements for remote and in situ sensing recommended in the Implementation Strategy for Coastal GOOS and the IGOS Coastal Theme Report. High priority projects have clear socio-economic benefits, a high probability of success, and build capacity. Pilot projects must be evaluated periodically (e.g., annually) to assess progress toward the projects objectives and to determine and disseminate to all GRAs information on what works (best practices) and what does not. GSSC Action: Collaborate with GRAs through the GRC to identify and enable implementation of high priority, regionally organized pilot projects that will lead to improved operational capabilities of the coastal module possibly through workshops. ongoing GSSC Action: Endorse priority pilot projects identified at the 3rd GOOS Regional Forum (Addendum II). immediate GSSC Action: Work with the GRC and GRAs to prepare proposals to fund pilot projects, e.g., GEF targeted research and capacity building projects possibly through workshops. medium GCCS Action: Periodically review the status and progress of pilot projects against their goals and objectives. Establish criteria to do so. ongoing 2.3 Partnerships There is a need for coordination between GOOS and GEOSS development. GSSC (or PICO) Action: Work with the GEO Coastal Zone Community of Practice to help integrate coastal components of GOOS into GEOSS, e.g. workshops leading to Pilot Projects. short Functional partnerships between GOOS and IGBP/SCOR research programs (LOICZ, GEOHAB, IMBER) and other relevant bodies (PICES, ICES) are needed to ensure the development of scientifically sound operational capabilities. GSSC (or PICO) Action: Work with relevant research programmes and GRAs to implement joint pilot projects that benefit both the research programmes and GOOS possibly through workshops. medium I-GOOS Action: Building on the results of the 3rd GOOS Regional Forum, encourage partnerships between GRAs and regional programs with common interests in terms of the provision of data and/or data applications, e.g., with Regional Seas Conventions, LMEs possibly through workshops. 2.4 Building Operational Capacity A phased (step-wise) implementation strategy is needed. GSSC (or PICO) Action: Using the implementation strategy for the coastal module as a guide, collaborate with the GRAs, the OOPC and the Coastal-GTOS Panel to formulate a 5-year plan for building a GCN that is operational, including the specification of research priorities, implementation of regionally organized pilot (proof of concept, demonstration) projects, phased implementation of operational capabilities and performance metrics, and periodically reviews and updates of the common variables based on their operational status and their use in the provision of products and services. medium The plan should be based in part on inventories of existing operational GOOS assets (infrastructure) and workforce to help identify priorities for research, pilot projects and building capacity. Phased implementation of operational capabilities and performance metrics must include specification of procedures for determining when data streams are operational and identifying bodies responsible for providing them (including QA/QC and conformance to standards and protocols, e.g., for serving data on the GTS). GSSC Action: Establish mechanisms to periodically review existing GOOS-related, regional activities and assess their (1) research-pilot project-preoperational-operational status, (2) importance to developing the GCN, and (3) the success of efforts to transition activities from a research to an operational mode. short GSSC Action: Advise the GRAs as needed to help customize observing requirements for the common variables regionally and to periodically review and update these requirements for the Global Coastal Network (GCN) as a whole. ongoing GSSC Action: Establish criteria for identifying those data streams that are ready for coordinated integration into GOOS by JCOMM and establish mechanism as needed to determine the research to operational status of the common variables from measurements and data telemetry to data management, models and services and advise JCOMM accordingly. short Technical Subpanel of GSSC for Coastal Observations Proposed Terms of Reference Provide the GOOS Scientific Steering Committee (GSSC) with technical advice needed for scientifically sound implementation of the Implementation Strategy for the Coastal Module of GOOS (GOOS Report No. 148). To this end, collaborate with the GRAs, the OOPC and Coastal GTOS to formulate 5-year plans for building the GCN that are updated periodically. Liaise with relevant scientific and technical organizations to facilitate synergy between advances in science and technology and the development of operational capabilities, including coastal services. Provide expertise and advice to the GSSC on the development of operational elements of the Coastal module of GOOS including interoperability and the management and dissemination of non-physical, physical and socio-economic variables regarding: Observations and data telemetry Data management and communications Modelling and analysis, and Communication of data and information to user groups Advise the GSSC regarding capacity building needs of nations and regions and approaches to address such needs for sustained coastal observations, analysis and modeling. Using the Implementation Strategy for the Coastal Module of GOOS as a guide, prepare and periodically update Action Plans supporting implementation. Organize periodic assessments (every 5 year) of the status of implementation and performance of coastal GOOS and recommend improvements and enhancements. Size and Membership: The PICO should not be larger than 12 members and should include experts from both in situ and remote sensing communities, research and operational communities, industry, public health, ecosystem health, living marine resources, basin scale boundary conditions, land-based inputs, and data management.
