List of Application Areas
Initial request
I refer to the Application Areas Codes list in the WMDR. INFCOM-2 recommended changes to WIGOS Manual in relation to the evolved Rolling Review of Requirements process per WMO's Earth System Approach. In doing so, it introduced the concept of Earth System Application Category (ESAC), which is effectively a grouping of Application Areas into 1. Space Weather, 2. Atmospheric, 3. Oceanic, 4. Hydrological & Terrestrial, 5. Cryospheric, and 6. Integrated Earth System Applications. It also expanded the list of Application Areas, which are now grouped into ESACs. See related INFCOM-2 INF 6.1(3) and its Annex 1. Some further changes were then also proposed by SERCOM and its ET-MOR with regard to the Oceanic Applications ESAC. These will have to be considered (I will provide the table in a next message).

As discussed in my previous message, the current list of ESACs and AAs is available here: Evolved RRR Process 2022 - Lit of ESACs and AAs - post INFCOM-2-v1.0.docx
@amilan17, I think, this should be moved to the wmds repository, right?
done! Thanks.
@amilan17 @echarpent As requested, here are a few comments on this proposal (wearing my TT-WIGOSMD hat!)
- General. Application Areas should be homogenous (as defined at the head of the table - which is fine) and therefore preferably non-overlapping. With this in mind:
- Climate monitoring. There are now 5 AAs covering this: 2.5, 3.3, 4.2, 5.1, 5.3. (There used to be one.) So how will overlap and gaps be avoided? Will the review mechanism be within GCOS or with JET-EOSDE. I am particularly concerned about 5.1 and .2, where overlap appears to be built into the AA names.
- 1.1, Space weather. This is also the name of the parent ESAC. Could the AA name be adjusted. Also 1.2 appears to be a sub-component of 1.1.
- 6.1, Earth System Forecasting and Monitoring. On the face of it, this appears to overlap several other AAs. Has the scope of 6.1 been defined to ensure that it does not?
- I think it is the intention that this list should replace the current list, i.e. all entries not on the new list would removed (or deprecated?). Are there are problems, from a WIGOS MD perspective, in removing existing entries?
https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023.02.16-TT-WIGOSMD notes:
discussion: Superseding current codes by mapping is difficult, because there one to many, many to one, many to many mappings. It may be more efficient to replace the entire list with a new one. Kruno will collaborate with us on this.
@amilan17 : Please set up meeting with Etienne, Kruno, Tom Kralidis (because of WIS topic hierarchy) and myself to discuss this and agree a way forward. Suggestions: 28 March or 30 March. Thanks.
The list of approved application areas is now online: https://space.oscar.wmo.int/applicationareas
@amilan17 @joergklausen
I've checked the revised list against my comments above (12 Dec 2022).
The revision has responded to all my comments, except 6.1. This appears to overlap substantially (completely?) with several of the other AAs, and so it would need a very careful definition/description to explain how it does not overlap. What is the AA 6.1 such that it has different observation requirements from those that it appears to overlap with, and which group is responsible for 6.1?
Anna: When you say "approved", by whom? (Not yet by TT-WIGOSMD?) How can they be approved when many do not yet have descriptions?
The list of ESACs and AAs is a part of the Manual on WIGOS, recently approved by EC. INFCOM-MG is supposed to approve ESAC/AAs owners, together with the proposed PoCs, at their meeting in 2 weeks. Then the owners/PoCs should work on the population of AAs (description, variables, requirements, etc).
Manual on WIGOS says:
"Application area 6.1 deals with the integrated Earth System, including all domain interfaces between components of the integrated Earth System."
But also:
"The list of Application Areas is intended to include all WMO uses of observations, it needs to be checked periodically for completeness and updated accordingly",
@kpremec @joergklausen @amilan17 Kruno, Thanks for the explanation of the approval status. I will discuss with you off-line my continuing concerns about 6.1.
https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023-03-17-TT-WIGOSMD notes: Anna and John will come up with a proposal and Anna will set up a meeting as proposed by Joerg above.
Please set up meeting with Etienne, Kruno, Tom Kralidis (because of WIS topic hierarchy) and myself to discuss this and agree a way forward. Suggestions: 28 March or 30 March. Thanks.
@joergklausen I will look at setting up a meeting next week, because this week is very busy.

@amilan17 Thanks for sharing this table. I understand our role here to make sure that we have an unambigous notation for each of the 'New Application Areas' (column 3). The (now) existing ambiguities therefore need to be removed and a few new notations are needed to supersede some of the existing ones (example; cryosphere). It seems, some of our existing notations also need to be combined.
I have the following comments wrt the mapping between columns 2 and 3:
| globalNumericalWeatherPrediction | 2. Atmospheric Applications | 2.1 Global Numerical Weather Prediction and Real-time Monitoring |
|---|
My personal perception is Global NWP goes beyond Atmospheric Applicaions, hence, I would propose to list this under "6. Integrated Earth System Applications"
| cryosphere | 5. Cryospheric Applications | 5.2 Sea-Ice Forecasting and Monitoring |
|---|
I would propose to list this under "3. Oceanic Applications"
Please confirm the status of columns 2 and 3 in this table (approved?, under discussion?) We can then begin to work on the notations.
@joergklausen @amilan17 . Global NWP is an atmospheric application because the focus is on APPLICATION - the principle aim of global NWP is to forecast the weather. In order to do so, it needs to model and use observations from several areas of the Earth System (="Domains" in our language). But this is true of most Application Areas. So my criticism is the opposite - I have questioned the need for an Application Area called Earth System Forecasting and Monitoring, because I do not recognise this as an application - it is a method, and an increasingly common method, for many Application Areas. Other Application Areas should be understood from the same perspective - what is the APPLICATION? - it is only through understanding the APPLICATION that you can understand the requirements for observations - some Application Areas that use common Earth System models have different requirements for observations because their applications are different.

Hi @JREyre Indeed, I can share this perspective on things. With that in mind, I step back from my earlier suggestion for GNWP. However, I can also see Earth System Forecasting and Monitoring as an application, an integration of the other more domain-focused applications, and where the focus is more on the interface, i.e., the energy and material fluxes.
These code values are not used in OSCAR/Surface interface for filtering and searching and there isn't an input field for this code in the metadata forms. @fstuerzl Do you know if there are XML records with applicationarea element populated?
@amilan17 I would not expect observing system owners to understand all the Application Areas in which their observations were used or might be used. Ideally they should, if they have gone through the WIGOS-recommended network design process, but in practice they won't. In fact you could argue that one of the main purposes of WIGOS is to make observations from all observing systems potentially available for all WMO applications. I don't see any value in the observation data themselves varying this information.
@joergklausen -regarding the proposal to list Sea Ice Forecasting and Monitoring under Ocean, since the structure was approved by INFCOM2, it may be useful to not make changes outside a similar process. of course, other groupings are possible. The specific application as a "primary" use of observations, is focused on generating information for navigation in polar/subpolar waters.
Perhaps we can generalize the definitions by referring to OSCAR/Requirements instead. For example, the description for "Sun, Heliosphere and Solar Wind Forecasting and Monitoring" can be: "Defined in WMO OSCAR at https://space.oscar.wmo.int/applicationareas/view/1_1_sun_heliosphere_and_solar_wind_forecasting_and_monitoring".
@amilan17 . Yes, in principle, it could be done this way. At present the definitions in OSCAR/Reqirements are missing for some AAs, very brief for others (no more than a repetition of the name) and much longer for others. You have to go to the Statements of Guidance (= Gap Analyses) to find a full description - ~half of page of text describing the AA and its scope.
https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023.04.06-TT-WIGOSMD notes: update branch with proposal; include the descriptions once they are ready; include in FT2023-1 document to inform the stakeholders of the change.
https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023.04.21-TT-WIGOSMD note: (John) just adopt the new list of application areas as was approved by INFCOM and not consider the categories, they are more of "chapter headers" (Joerg) we can put the application areas in the tags (John) they are different from domains
- ignore the numerical values associated with the area names
- determine alphanumeric notations for new codes
@kpremec and I were talking and decided that the application areas should become a part of the path.
https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023.05.04-TT-WIGOSMD notes: John explained the RRR process for updating definitions. The OSCAR/Surface metadata editor will need to be updated and the mapping between old new is not always straightforward.
As discussed in today's meeting, I've analyzed the usage of the application areas that will become invalid with the new version of the table. We will for sure need some guidance on the migration process for these entries.
| Application area to be deprecated | Number of deployments linked to this application area | Number of countries with deployments linked to this application area |
|---|---|---|
| spaceWeather | 130 | 2 |
| health | 10 | 3 |
| terrestrialEcology | 100 | 3 |
| hydrology | 270 | 7 |
| oceanApplications | 3 | 1 |
| cryosphere | 199 | 21 |
| transport | 23 | 5 |
| energy | 555 | 6 |
@fstuerzl @amilan17 @joergklausen Thanks for this analysis, which is very interesting. I assume the "usage" to which you refer is in OSCAR/Surface. If so, I think it illustrates my view that this usage is unhelpful and will lead to problems in the future, unless everyone who inputs data to OSCAR/Surface has a good understanding of how the RRR process and OSCAR/Requirements works. For the record, here are some comments on the "deprecated AAs" listed above:
- "health", "transport" and "energy" have never been accepted by the RRR process as AAs for which observations requirements would be sought - they are not "application areas" in the sense defined by RRR - no-one does an activity with this title as part of their day-job, and so it is not possible (and would never have been possible) to compile a set of homogenous user requirements for them. They are, at best, the names of areas within which AAs (with different names) might be developed in the future. They are also good examples of what is NOT an application area. For example, just because someone working in transport uses weather forecasts does not mean that they are users of observations in the RRR sense - they are indirect users, not direct users.
- Similarly, although debated for several years, "cryosphere" was never accepted as an RRR AA - it is the name of an earth system domain, not a human activity which uses observations. Real AAs with a predominant interest in cryosphere are now being developed.
- "terrestrial ecology" could arguably be an AA, but no observation requirements have been developed for it.
- "space weather" is a very active area within RRR, with many well-considered user requirements. However, it has now been agreed to split this one AA into three, in order to create AAs for which the URs are more homogeneous.
- "ocean applications" is a longstanding AA, but it was always badly named. The "Statement of Guidance" for this AA explains that it only considers ocean forecasting for the open ocean and that the authors were relying on other AAs (exist or to be developed) to express the URs for other areas of activity pertaining to the ocean. This work is now underway.
So, I suggest that the managers of OSCAR/Surface should be made aware of these issues so that they can decide to what extent and how they recommend the use of these of AA names in the future.
https://github.com/wmo-im/tt-wigosmd/wiki/2023.06.01-TT-WIGOSMD notes:
- Anna updated the branch with initial mappings, status changes and new notations.
- @amilan17 and @JohnEyre will review together;
- Noting that if the definitions do not exist in the ESAC they will not be in this table. Essentially, this is a mere copy of RRR work, but there will be some mapping work.
- Noting that there is an impact on OSCAR/Surface due to deprecated codes;
