Observations are fundamental for G3W, which serve as pillars as well as modelling. They are described in detail in the concept note.
The following action items were identified as priority activities for the advancement of implementation of G3W. These action items are organized in several blocks, covering cross-domain and cross-platform (i.e., in situ ground-based platforms and satellites) action items, followed by domain specific action items. The details of activities, performance period and connections between action items are listed in the full Implementation plan.
Section 3: At a Glance
3.1. Theme: Cross-domain observing network design principles |

Action O1: Create an exhaustive inventory of existing surface based GHGs measurements.The measures of success include:
Action O2: Develop GHG monitoring standards and revise and reconcile existing GHG measurement requirements.The measures of success are inclusion of established observational requirements Observing Systems Capability Analysis and Review Tool (OSCAR) database, library of Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) guidelines and specifications of the tired network. Action O3: Develop a roadmap for longer-term GHG observing activities.The measure of success will be a long-term strategy for the sustainable observing system. |
