
Project implementation and evaluation – The development of detailed
integration plans for the existing networks
Conclusion of collaboration mechanisms involving other participating
organizations such as WMO and CIC (There is a MoU between both)
Adjustment of the existing networks, optimizing distribution, expanding the
radar network and inclusion of AMDAR data
Improve overall operation and maintenance
Introduction of common quality control processes and standardization of
methods of observations
Full use of regional WIS facilities, including GISC-Brasilia and DCPC-Buenos
Aires
Create a mechanism to keep WIR updated (WIGOS Metadata)
Exchange best practices of observations through workshops and on the job
training
Create and maintain a Project Web page
WIGOS-SAS PROJECT PHASES
Phase 1:
Establish a Task Team to prepare a draft Project
Implementation Plan
Phase 2:
Preparation of the Draft Project Implementation Plan (PIP)
Phase 3:
Meeting of the Board to review and approve PIP
Phase 4:
Engagement of CIC and other partners for the execution of
the Project
Phase 5:
Project becomes operational
PROJECT STATUS
Phase 1: Establish a Task Team to prepare a draft Project
Implementation Plan
• Two meetings after TECO/RECO and AR-III
Sessions
• Discussions with D/OBS and WIGOS PO (This
week)
• Definition of Project Scope and Team
PROJECT MOTIVATION
•
•

•
•
•
General consensus about the feasibility of the Project
Project originated from a common regional need
Partners already working together in sub components
Enthusiasm on its execution by partners
A real WIGOS spirit (different communities, data sets)
STARTUP effort needed
