Some Figures on Achievements (1/2)
• Major documents produced (at least 16 actions):
– e.g. Ocean Surface Topography Constellation User Requirements;
– e.g. Atmospheric Composition Constellation (ACC) Air Quality Workshop report and Gap Analysis Study report
• More than 30 new public datasets generated (at least 15 actions)– e.g. Optical and Radar data acquired for GEO FCT; – e.g. Real time malaria risk map, …– As in 2008, these datasets will be registered in GEOSS
Registry
Some Figures on Achievements (2/2)
• About 13 Workshops and Training Courses organized (8 actions)
– e.g. 2-weeks training course ‘Methods and Application of Ocean Color Remote Sensing in African Coastal and regional Seas’ (Ocean Colour Radiometry Constellation) ,…
• About 8 Web Portals set up or significantly upgraded (8 actions)
– e.g. Solar Shield project ; – e.g. CEOS Earth Observation Handbook, …
Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned (1/3)
1. Overall Actions progress status similar to last year
2. Majority of Actions refer to activities planned independently of GEO WP but still their outcomes and deliverables are of interest to the User Community. Currently outcomes detailed only in CEOS IP v3.1 (not user-friendly !!) Publication and advertising even of “minor” achievements to be
improved (e.g. on CEOS Web Site, or a potential CEOS Annual Report )
3. Difficulties as CEO to manage some of those Actions because of lack / infrequent reporting More regular reporting expected from CEOS SBA Coordinators and
actionees . Plan to go to on-line and more user-friendly version (still requires
efforts from actionees). See proposal from SEO.
Lessons Learned (2/3)
4. Number of CEOS-GEO Actions could be reduced: Some actions run by a single Agency:
Should involve more than one single Agency Should demonstrate that their accomplishment requires
involvement of other agencies Actions that can be done by a single Agency should not be
considered.
Some current CEOS-GEO Actions do not deserve to be in that list e.g. Action leading to the publication of an article for a
conference. Instead the article could be referenced on the CEOS Web Site ("news" page and "articles" page) or published in a CEOS Annual Report (more of an outreach orientation than CEOS IP)
Lessons Learned (3/3)
5. Management of some GEO Tasks co-led by CEOS to be improved: Improved coordination with other GEO Task co-Leads
and Contributors More regular reporting (GEO Secretariat expects three
reports a year)
