Slide1: 

(by the Theme Team, presented by Vladimir Ryabinin, WCRP) Why a talk on the IGOS-Cryo at a GIIPSY meeting? GIIPSY is one of the IGOS – Cryo recommendations Support to GIIPSY may be generated under the umbrella of IPY but successful follow-up after IPY requires agreement of main observing systems, their coordinators, sponsors and research groups - IGOS-Cryo is there to build the legacy

Slide2: 

Integrated Global Observing Strategy-Partnership (IGOS-P), 13 international and UN organizations; Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), 45 space agencies and Earth observation data users operating more than 100 satellites; Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) Main Earth observation coordination consortia opens the door to the

Slide5: 

Cryosphere   is undergoing dramatic changes, mostly as a consequence of climate change, and provides best indicators for it is one of the most under-sampled elements within the climate system is important (water, climate, transport, etc.) User-requirement product driven Has a ~10 year time frame Goal 1: resources for observations Goal 2: stronger commitment by observing system operators to sustain the observing system Goal 3: better coordination Approved by IGOSP-11, Rome, Italy, 27 May 2004 Team: Jeff Key (Chair) and ~ 50 contributors from 14 countries
