• Amongst the drifting buoys, moored buoys and fixed platforms reporting on the GTS in BUOY (or BUFR) format, above listed variables were measured in August 2015.

• Wave measurement information was not available due to a data decoding error in the data received from Meteo-France. Since this report was submitted, wave data is available starting form October.

SOUTH OCEAN BUOY PROGRAM (SOBP)

• SOBP, as part of the DBCP Implementation Strategy, aims to have 300 operational drifting buoys with barometers distributed across the Seas south of 40oS.

• During August 2015, there were 244 drifters in the Southern Ocean and 221 (90%) of these were barometer drifters

• Little progress has been made compared to the August 2014 number which was 216.

• There were a total of 117 drifting buoys deployed in the Southern Ocean during the last intersessional period

• DBCP members should continue to look for deployment opportunities in this region.

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR THE DBCP NETWORKS

• suggested approach is to,(1) group the networks which DBCP oversees by function and/or

region and (2) establish Key Performance Indicators(KPI) in the 6 categoriesSuggested catogaries are; – Global Surface Drifting Buoy Network– Global Tropical Moored Buoy Network– National/coastal moored buoy Networks– Arctic Buoy Networks– Antarctic Buoy Networks– Global Tsunami buoy Network

PERFORMANCE INDICATORS - EXAMPLES


WMO ID ALLOCATION

• Follow the guidelines for WMO ID allocation • 7 digit IDs can only be used with BUFR format and TAC requires

5 digit IDs• Moving from 5 digit to 7 digits avoids reuse of WMO IDS• Avoid recycle of IDs where ever possible• If IDs recycle cannot be avoided, do not reuse them before 3

months of its previous use (as per WMO ID allocation rule)

• JCOMMOPS metadata management plan for WMO IDs in reuse

FUTURE PRIORITIES

• Moored buoy metadata ingestion to new JCOMMOPS database• Continue working with JCOMMOPS colleagues on new website • Continue to work with Iridium VAR’s to obtain drifter, mooring,

and float information.• Link with IABP to get a metadata feed to JCOMMOPS (similar

to AOML feed)• Ensure loading procedures (e.g Tsunameter data) are accurate.

Work with OSMC and/or MeteoFrance to • Continue to update Meteorologists Cookbook• Other products and services as requested by the community
