Why Care?Benefits for Members through OSCAR/Surface
Know what you have o Structured overview of Member’s own
observing systems
Know what they haveo Same structured overview of observing
systems in neighboring countries and region
Peace of mindo Safe and secure archiving of metadata
Know where you should improveo Objective assessment of gaps through the
Rolling Review of Requirements process
More value for money through collaborationo Enhanced valorization of one Member’s
existing observations through use by another Member (and vice versa)
RRR Evolve observing systems rationally

Enable adequate use of observational data

Successful demonstration of phase 1 prototype at Cg-17 (June 2017)• OSCAR Booth• OSCAR side Event• OSCAR Brochure• Members obligations with regard to OSCAR included in
Technical Regulations and WIGOS Manual to come into force in July 2016
• 3-level Beta Testing completed • Capacity development ongoing • Operational as of December 2015

OSCAR capacity development
Plan is to expose all Members to OSCAR Use regional Workshops / piggy-back ETR Instrument calibration workshops in
Barbados and Nairobi Talk about WIGOS in a practical way Metadata leverages work of intrument people Excellent way to see how people interact with
OSCAR
We have a 1-day programme for you!

Plan for transition from Volume A to OSCAR/Surface
Transition period: December 2015 - December 2017. In December 2015, National Focal Points will be given the
opportunity to decide between:o providing their WIGOS metadata directly via OSCARo continuing to provide their metadata through existing WMO
procedures Uploads will be possible through:
o user editing via the web interface, ando machine to machine interfaces/web service
At that point (December 2015), OSCAR will become the official repository of WIGOS metadata, and will serve as the source for Vol. A
Plans for transition from Volume A (Cont.)
OSCAR can generate reports similar to the existing Vol. A flat-files available on the WMO website. The new “Vol. A report” will maintain all current column headings but may not contain information in all columns.
Station information provided to WMO via current Vol. A procedures will be used to update WIGOS metadata in OSCAR.
Protocol and format for feeding information by batch-process into OSCAR to be completed by mid-2016
By December 2017, transition to OSCAR completed; Vol. A will officially cease to exist and related procedures used to maintain station information will be discontinued

Connect National / Regional DBs to OSCAR Requested by Beta-Testers Important to keep OSCAR up-to-date

Last words
Many countries / regions appear to have / develop their own station DBs.
Can OSCAR not be used instead? Push on Regional Level?
