EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of the Third Annual Meeting for the Coordinated Energy and watercycle Observations Project (CEOP) (19-21 September 2009 at the Head Office of the
Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) of Australia, Melbourne, Australia(see: http://www.ceop.net)
First Draft: 25 September 2009

1. BACKGROUNDThe Third Annual meeting of the Coordinated Energy and water cycle Observations
Project (CEOP), held from 19-21 August 2009 at Melbourne, Australia, was designed to focus on
how the project is being organized and implemented. The more detailed science findings andprogress toward its main scientific goal to: “understand and predict continental to local-scalehydroclimates for hydrologic applications”, were left for detailed presentation, review anddiscussion at the Sixth International Scientific Conference on the Global Energy and Water Cycle
that took place from 24-28 August 2009, at Melbourne, Australia.
1.1 Introductory Comments: BoM, GEWEX, WCRP
The introductory comments by Dr Sue Barrow, Deputy Director of the host organization at
the Bureau of Meterology of Australia (BoM), Melbourne Head Office, and Dr Helen Cleugh,
Theme Leader Climate and Atmosphere at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial
Research Organization (CSIRO) emphasized the importance of the GEWEX/CEOP focus on
Water and Energy budgets. They commended the efforts by CEOP to understand variations in
conditions during the entire CEOP period.
They also acknowledged the importance of theintegrated approach being undertaken by CEOP, which combines the CEOP Regional
Hydroclimate Projects, such as the one underway in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB), in Australia,
with the use of data and model prediction schemes to study global scale phenomenon and to
apply new tools and improved knowledge to regional scientific climate issues in areas that areespecially sensitive to climate change and weather and extend this knowledge to global scale
such as in semi-arid, cold and high latitude regions.
CEOP extremes studies were alsomentioned as an area in need of further study especially work that encompasses drought, heavy
precipitation, floods, low flows and related features.
Dr Tom Ackerman, newly appointed Chairman of the GEWEX Scientific Steering Group(SSG) and Dr Peter van Oevelen, the Director of the International GEWEX Project Office (IGPO),
each reiterated that CEOP had made an exceptional and appropriate adjustment of its strategic
vision following the decision of the GEWEX SSG in 2007 to merge all regional hydrology projects
under CEOP. The latest version of the CEOP Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP), on theInternet at: http://www.ceop.net, reflects the approach CEOP has successfully undertaken to fit
this expanded role. The CEOP science team was commended for having worked diligently to
implement this larger vision encompassing data acquisition and storage, data quality control, data
analysis, regional modelling and scientific discovery.
Comments made earlier by the Director of the World Climate Research Programme(WCRP) Secretariat at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) at Geneva, Switzerland
had noted that one of the WCRP mission objectives, described in the WCRP Strategic
Framework 2005–2015, is to “support climate-related decision making and planning adaptation toclimate change by developing science required to improve climate predictions, the understandingof human influence on climate, and use this scientific knowledge in an increasing range ofpractical applications of direct relevance, benefit and value to society.” It was acknowledged atthat time, that CEOP had developed a research framework and integrated datasets required toaddress these issues. The strength in the CEOP approach was identified to be that Its focus onregional basins and climatically sensitive regions of the world encourages researchers to study
these areas, understand their regional hydrological and radiation budgets, and ensure that these
are well represented in global climate system models. The conclusion was that WCRP and theGEWEX SSG continues to support the efforts of CEOP and seeks to ensure its continued vitality
and encourage its research contributions to GEWEX and the WCRP.
1.2 CEOP Compliance with WCRP/GEWEX Requests for Action: SSG and WCRPIn keeping with the emphasis on organizational and business matters for this meeting,
the CEOP Co-Chairs, Drs Ron Stewart and Toshio Koike, covered a number of important issues
related to the responsiveness of CEOP to comments, observations and specific actions comingfrom the GEWEX SSG and WCRP. These included redrafting of the CEOP Strategic
Implementation Plan (SIP) and tactical adjustments to CEOP work in response to comments andactions emanating from review, by the GEWEX SSG of CEOP material presented at SSG annual
meetings, as well as advice and observations contained in a Rapporteurs Report, by SSG
members, Drs. Anton Beljaars, Jan Polcher, Howard Wheater, and Olga Zolina, dated 20 January
2009, that was commissioned by the SSG Chairman.
One immediate result of the merger of the GEWEX Hydrometeorology Panel (GHP) with
the Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period was a refocusing of some activities toward thebroader goal and objectives of the CEOP. With this in mind and with the need to be responsive
to the guidance of the SSG, a new Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) was developed as a wayof documenting the guiding principals of CEOP. The CEOP Co-Chairs reiterated that the latest
version of the SIP incorporates comments provided through a thorough review of the first draft ofthe document undertaken by the GEWEX SSG following their February 2008 meeting at Buenos
Aires, Argentina.
The specific responses contained in the initial presentations by the CEOP Co-Chairs, toactions from the February 2009 SSG meeting held at Irvine California, USA, and to the
Rapporteurs Report that was submitted at that meeting can be found in the full report of the
CEOP Third Annual Meeting that is still in work. Alternately that information is immediately
available for review and comment along with all of the presentation material provided by theparticipants at the meeting, on the Internet through the CEOP Home Page at:
http://www.ceop.net. The placement of this large amount of information from the meeting on to
the internet at the CEOP Home Page was accomplished through the efficient efforts of Ms Akiko
Goda and Mr Katsunori Tamagawa in the CEOP Office at Tokyo, Japan.
2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF MAIN ISSUES/CONCLUSIONS AND ACTIONS
The presentations and breakout periods organized at the meeting emphasized the
expansion of the scope of CEOP science activities. A summary of the main actions associatedwith the discussions are summarized below:
2.1 CEOP 10 Year Data Set
Action was assigned to the Data Management Working Group to submit a proposal with
an implementation scheme and schedule for defining and organizing a CEOP 10 year dataset.
This action is to take the data periods associated with the Coordinated Enhanced Observing
Period and to meld them with the expanded data requirements of the “new” CEOP as a means ofintegrating the overall CEOP data requirements with the available CEOP data resources. The
concept is illiustrated in Figure 1.

2.2 CEOP Synthesis Document(s)It was agreed that a clear and somewhat concise summary of CEOP activities especiallycovering the work that has taken place since the successful integration of the RHPs. Such a
document is necessary to be responsive to SSG comments related to a clarification of thestrategy CEOP is using to bridge the connection between the CEOP regional/basin scale (RHP)
needs/applications and the CEOP global observation/prediction activities.
The CEOP Co-Chairs agreed to take action to use existing material contained in the
CEOP submittal to the WCRP/GEWEX Legacy document to develop a draft of the initial CEOP
Synthesis Document by the end of October 2009, with submission set for early 2010. However,this action will involve many members of the CEOP community before it is submitted for
publication.
A simplified outline for the document, which is expected to be submitted to the Bulletin of
the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) was suggested at the meeting to be as follows:
1. Introduction (background, objectives, strategy)
2. Datasets and data integration (model, observations)
3. Science Progress (regions, issues, global perspective)
4. Implications (models, remote sensing, monitoring, climate change)
5. Concluding Remarks (the problem, progress, to be done, plans)
Another aspect of this action is to consider the possibility of other documents beyond theinitial General/Comprehensive version. Follow-on documents/articles would possibly clarify the
CEOP strategy for work being accomplished specifically under the headings of Regional Science
Foci, Science Crosscutting Initiatives and Model Integration. As part of the current action the
CEOP Co-Chairs will investigate the need for such a follow-on effort.
2.3 Activation of a CEOP HAP Task TeamThe need, was addressed at the meeting, for a Task Team to ensure further integrationof the CEOP Hydrological Applications Project (HAP) with other synergistic parts of the CEOP
science community. The action was taken by the CEOP International Coordination Function towork with the CEOP Co-Chair (Koike) and the CEOP HAP Working Group Leader (Wood), to
activate a CEOP HAP Task Team that would focus on:(i) Seasonal forecasting, mainly drought, in cooperation with HAPEX and(ii) Flood prediction and Climate change impact analyses in cooperation with GEOSS/AWCIA member list, task assignment table, and implementation schedule with near term
milestones are to be completed by the end of November 2009.
2.4 Activation of a CEOP Land Modeling Task GroupIn order to better utilize available CEOP data and model parameter sets and to improvecoordination among global land modeling activities, it was agreed that a CEOP Land Modeling
Task Group will be activated. This Group will work in concert with the HAP Task Team toadvance the common goal of generating physically coherent fields of land surface states andfluxes through the integration of disparate data products.
The Group will avail itself of available datasets such as those at NASA/GSFC:
http://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/hydrology/ and Princeton: http://hydrology.princeton.edu/data.pgf.php
that were identified at the meeting and will seek opportunities to integrate its work with that being
undertaken as part of the planning for the third Global Soil Wetness Project (GSWP-3) and withwork underway as part of the GEWEX Global Land Atmosphere System Study (GLASS) and the
LandFlux activity that has been launched recently by the GEWEX Radiation Panel (GRP), in
collaboration with the GLASS. LandFlux wants to develop the needed capabilities and to produce
a global, multi-decadal surface turbulent flux data product, which is consistent with the goals
proposed for the CEOP Land Modeling Task Group.
The action was taken by the CEOP International Coordination Function to work with the
CEOP Co-Chair (Koike), the CEOP Land Modeling Working Group Leader (Rodell) and the
CEOP HAP Working Group Leader (Wood), to define a member list, task assignment table, andimplementation schedule for the CEOP Land Modeling Task Group by the end of November 2009.
2.5 Advance Existing Colaboration Between CEOP Cold Regions and High Elevation Studies
It was agreed at the meeting that the existing collaboration between the CEOP Cold
Regions Study (CRS) and the CEOP High Elevations Study (HE) needs to be better organized
and more formally established. The CEOP International Coordination function has the action towork with the CRS and HE Lead persons (O’Hata and Tartari) to initiate more regular interactions
and communications between these existing groups to improve there collaboration and show
additional results in a number of areas where there is already existing interactions including:(i) the convergence of observations and data integration from CEOP Cold Regions and HE
reference sites,(ii) long-term variation of snow distribution in northern regions and Its Impact on atmosphericcirculation,(iii) Water and energy budgets (WEBs) in cold regions, and(iv) High mountain hydrology Including glaciers.
International conference calls designed to further the existing dialog between thesegroups related to work on these specific topics will begin by the end of October 2009.
2.6 Activation of a CEOP Global to Regional Scale Task TeamIn order to better utilize available CEOP datasets for the purpose of addressing thematter of bridging the gap between the global and regional aspects of CEOP research it wasagreed that a CEOP Global To Regional Task Teams should be activated.
The Team will be made up of key individuals from the CEOP Cross Cutting Study area
and the CEOP Model Output Working Group that are doing work at both the Global and Regional
scales and will make use of datasets that have already been produced under CEOP initiatedstudies in each case. These would include:
Model Analyses for CEOP (MAC) subset products for CEOP RHPs,

CEOP Inter-Continental Transferability Study (ICTS) co-analysis products
CEOP Stable Water Isotope Intercomparison Group (SWING) subset products for RHPs
There will also be experts from the CEOP RHP’s that will be involved in the work to beundertaken by this Task Team. The BALTEX RHP, the Tibet region of MAHASRI , and parts of
the AMMA RHP are the initial candidate regions to be included in the work of this strategic task
team effort. The main contribution from the CEOP RHP’s will be high quality regional datasets forvalidation purposes.
The Team is expected to seek opportunities to integrate their efforts with other planned oron-going initiatives in the broader climate research community one in particular that was
mentioned is the WCRP initiated COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment(CORDEX) effort that plans to provide a set of regional climate scenarios covering the period
1950-2100, for the majority of the populated land-regions of the globe.
CEOP International Coordination Function agreed to take the action to activate this Team,in cooperation with the CEOP Co-Chairs (Koike and Stewart), and a number of key persons ineach CEOP study area involved in this activity. These would include but not be limited to: Isemer,
Stewart, Kun, Bosilovich, Rockel, and Yoshimura.
It was agreed that a series of International conference calls would be started that would
take this activity through a series of steps including an initial brainstorming session, a parameterprioritization exercise, strategic plan development process and a milestone definition andscheduling procedure. Activation of this Team and initiation of these calls should begin by
November 2009.
2.7 CEOP Contribution to the Adaptation to Climate Change (ACC) Theme
There was a general concern expressed at the meeting in relation to CEOP taking on theformulation of “adaptation” as a main theme. Although it was agreed that the broadest aspects of
ACC were not consistent with the current CEOP Strategic Implementation Plan they were notwholly outside the scope of the work CEOP was involved in on a day to day basis. It was,therefore, agreed that CEOP would embrace some of the main tenets of ACC and would look intoways of contributing to those in direct fashion. Some ideas related to this consensus were:(i) Identifying Regional to local Impacts of ACC on the hydroclimate in RHP basins,(ii) Quantifying uncertainty by using CEOP data infrastructure,(iii) Testing models and ACC scenarios by apply WEBS analysis techniques and(iv) Exploiting CEOP/RHP connections to local/basin scale model Centers to assist in ACC work
3. SUMMARY OF MAIN SCIENCE and DATA TOPICS and NEAR TERM MILESTONESThe presentations and breakout periods organized at the meeting emphasized the
expansion of the scope of CEOP science activities. In addition to the Regional Hydroclimate
Projectes (RHPs), CEOP includes groups focused on studies in high elevations, monsoon,
extremes, cold regions, and semi-arid regions.
The summary by the Co-Chairs emphasized that the CEOP science team has worked
diligently to implement a larger vision encompassing data acquisition and storage, data quality
control, data analysis, regional modelling and scientific discovery that would be consistent with it
becoming a prototype element of any International Climate Research Framework that may
emerge in the future, including WCRP with restructured core projects and science foci or a Global
Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

3.1 Science Foci Summary

Presentations at the meeting highlighted a number of points and milestones reached byvarious elements of CEOP within its current organizational framework (see Table 1).

The CEOP Monsoons Study has been shown to be synergistic with the overall WCRP
Monsoon crosscut initiative.
The CEOP High Elevation study presented plans to organize a global high elevation
watch period.
CEOP Extremes studies has begun focusing on drought, heavy precipitation, floods andlow flows including the inter-meshing of these.
The links between the CEOP Cold Regions Study and several RHPs have now beenclearly identified. This work is also being coordinated with the WCRP CliC Project.
The CEOP Semi-arid regions study has recently shown progress on meeting the goals
established for it as an element of CEOP, especially by establishment of a joint US andChina semi-arid region study.
CEOP science continues to provide a traditional focus on Water and Energy Budget
Studies (WEBS), which will now extend the efforts to understand average conditions toconditions during the entire CEOP period.
The other CEOP science efforts related to the water and energy budget studies havebeen expanded including a study of the influence of aerosols and a study of water
isotopes.
CEOP modeling efforts now include explicit global, regional, land surface, and Hydrologic
Applications Project (HAP) efforts. All of these modeling groups have now begun looking
at an ensemble of international models in many different regions focused on the CEOP
reference sites.
A CEOP satellite dataset has been populated with data from instruments flown on JAXA,ESA and NASA spacecraft and tools for handling historical data have been provided by
NOAA. All of this work is being carried out as part of the CEOP Data Management
component.

3.2 Integrated Datasets Summary
CEOP has fulfilled its most ambitious goals to address a number of key scientific issues
through a comprehensive improvement in access to integrated observational (in-situ and satellite)
and model data. Data Management, which was a focal point of the Coordinated Enhanced
Observing Period, has now successfully implemented a data policy allowing the sharing of in situ
reference site data, model output data, and satellite data and set up archival centers of this dataat the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the Max Planck Institute (MPI).
Satellite data has come on line at the University of Tokyo (UT) and then along with the other data
has been moved to a central data archive where it can be accessed and distributed to interested
users. Key points on this topic that were presented at the meeting included:•••

The CEOP Data Management web page was revised (August 2008) and is available
directly at: http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/ceop/dm/ with improved links to all CEOP
RHP (and related data provider) data archives.
Completed in-situ data are now available from 30 of 32 Reference Sites (including datafrom 14 sites which contain full annual cycles for both EOP 3 and 4).
The CEOP Model Output Center (located at the World Climate Data Center, Max Planck
Institute for Meteorology, Germany) has continued to maintain the archives and Model
Output Gateway at http://www.mad.zmaw.de/projects-at-md/ceop/ . To date, more than 6
TB of data have been submitted and are available via internet. Metadata from the 11
Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) Centers participating in CEOP continues to be
updated at: http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/ceop/dm/model/model_table.html. Periodic
conference calls are conducted between these various NWP Centers to coordinate datasubmission and data formatting issues.

3.3

The CEOP Satellite Data Center (located at the University of Tokyo, Japan) continues to
add EOP3/4 satellite data to its archives. A new Satellite Data Gateway web page wasdeveloped and is available at: http://monsoon.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ceop2/satellite/ . This web
page provides current data policy, format, inventory, and access information. Data accessis also available through the CEOP Centralized Data Integration System at:
http://monsoon.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ceop-dc/ceop-dc_top.htm.
An unprecedented international effort has resulted in the specialized data integration
function developed by CEOP, which has in turn begun to add value to work in both themeteorological and climate science and operational communities especially the numerical
weather prediction centers involved in CEOP.
An improvement of models has been achieved based on insights developed through
CEOP validation studies and intercomparisons as well as the provision of newcapabilities and tools for integrating the model products with satellite and in-situ data.
Near Term Milestone Summary

The Co-Chairs and leaders of key CEOP working groups presented material whichshowed that CEOP has focused a great deal of effort on a number of main science foci andcrosscutting regional study areas where milestones have been developed for the period up to
2011. Milestones related to these topics were highlighted at the meeting to be examples of work
being undertaken in CEOP that will contribute to GEWEX and WCRP goals and objectives overthe next 2 to 3 years. They include:
CEOP Extremes is working to better document, understand and simulate the occurrence,evolution, structure and role of hydrometeorological extremes within the climate system and tocontribute to their better prediction at various time scales and to addressing societal concerns. A
number of specific steps are currently underway with items to be accomplished between now and2011. These include:
•
•

•
•
•
•

Assess current definitions of extremes and determine if further ones are needed
Assess existing extreme event catalogues (heat waves, floods, droughts on a global
basis from 1948 to present) and as appropriate incorporate this into the Extremes
information base.
Produce a high resolution dataset on global precipitation
Pull together at least one comprehensive, continental-scale dataset on multi-year drought
Assess whether re-analyses are capable of detecting and determining the trend of
extremes events over the last 30 years
Provide a recipe book for others to follow in terms of conducting comprehensive droughtstudiesThe High Elevations (HE) Project is a concerted, international and interdisciplinary effort
to further knowledge of the physical and dynamical processes in high altitude areas. Highelevation areas provide interesting locations for the early detection and study of the signals ofclimate change and the assessment of climate related impacts on hydrogeological, ecological andsocietal systems at a global level. A key objective is improve the forecast capabilities of extreme
weather events in high altitudes that influence not only mountain regions but also a much wider
environment and an elevated number of people, with important social consequences dependingon the interaction between the three major components: environment, economics and society.
A number of specific steps are currently underway with items to be accomplishedbetween now and 2011. These include:•

Develop a catalog of key high elevation monitoring sites where physical and dynamic
processes are being studied and to invite site managers as a way of building-up a
CEOP-HE network,••

Develop CEOP-approved installation procedures and long-term maintenance guidelines
for HE sites and QA/QC policies for data acquisition at those sites,
Produce high-quality datasets in line with the CEOP data policy.

The CEOP Monsoon Study (MONS) effort includes multiple observation and science
activities within the fields of hydrometeorology and hydroclimatology. CEOP has evolved
components to integrate observations based on coordination among field science groups, space
agencies, and NWP centers in the local, regional and global scales. Other synergistic elements of
CEOP that are also multidisciplinary include: components required to exchange and disseminate
observational data and information including data management that encompasses functions suchas Quality Assessment/Quality Control, access to data, and archiving of data, data integrationand visualization, and information fusion.
