The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is looking for scientists to serve on two of its three expert panels, the Atmospheric Observation Panel for Climate (AOPC) and the Ocean Observations Physics and Climate Panel (OOPC).
Deadline: 15 November 2022.
Atmospheric Observation Panel for Climate (AOPC) is co-sponsored by the World Research Climate Programme (WCRP) and was established by the GCOS Steering Committee in recognition of the need for specific scientific and technical input concerning atmospheric observations for climate. The Panels’ expertise is essential for assessing the capabilities, gaps and deficiencies of current climate- observing systems. Their work and discussions contribute directly to the regular reports to the UNFCCC about the status of global climate-observing capacities. Download full description here.
Ocean Observations Physics and Climate Panel (OPCC) is in charge of assessing the capabilities, gaps and deficiencies of current ocean physics/climate observing systems. OOPC also helps to improve the observing capabilities by encouraging the development of strategies for the ocean observing system evaluation and evolution. OOPC contributes to the regular reports to the UNFCCC about the status of global climate-observing capacities. Download full description here.
