  3. GEONETCast Overview Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  4. GEONETCast Overview GEONETCast is a good way to access earth observation data… • Operational or project data dissemination • High data volumes are involved • Data timeliness and availability are important • A number of users could benefit from the same data • Regular data extraction is required (hourly,daily,weekly) • Data is needed in “low infrastructure” areas or areas of no or limited network (e.g. Internet) availabilities Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  5. GEONETCast Overview GEONETCast reception stations are • Self contained • Stand-alone • Include data discovery via offline version of the “Product Navigator” ( link to training material!) • Of the shelf very low cost systems GEONETCast is linked to the EO-portal • Online data discovery and indication of data availability via “near-real-time dissemination” on GEONETCast Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  6. Status of Work • Global Coverage • NOAA’s GEONETCast Americas acceptance is nearly finalised; • EUMETCast – FENGYUNCast data exchange is operational; • Dissemination of exchanged data to start this year; • Inclusion of Russia’s MITRA system to be initiated at the technical level. Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  7. Status of Work Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  8. Status of Work (cont) • Initial Operational Capability • Fully demonstrated at GEO IV in Cape Town; • Implementation follows the Global Design Concept and Implementation Plan; • Effort now focussed on moving from demonstration to operations; • GEONETCast Network Centre Service & Functional Specification being prepared. Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  9. Status of Work (cont) • User & Data Provider Engagement • Each region working directly with its users and data providers; • Coordinating with WMO IGDDS and WIS; • Working with providers such as SERVIR, USEPA, RANET, JCOMM/GOOS, ECMWF, INPE, AMESD, CBERS; • A number of EU projects in the approval process include use of GEONETCast – DevCoCast, AIDA, AEGOS. Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  10. GEONETCast Coordination • Coordination with ADC activities • Registered as GEOSS Component • Registered as Data Access GEOSS Service • Participating in GEO Standards and Interoperability Forum • GEONETCastAmericas.noaa.gov • Web portal for GEONETCast Americas • GEONETCast Product Navigator (EO-Portal) • http://www.eumetsat.int/products • Or on your GEONETCast station!! Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  11. Highlights • GEONETCast is emerging as a key asset in making environmental data widely available to Users; • The scope of data available on GEONETCast is being broadened significantly; • In 2008, it is planned to present GEONETCast at: • African User Forum (Ghana) • African Association for Remote Sensing of the Environment (Ghana) • GEO Plenary (Beijing) Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  12. GEONETCast CB: Training Training: • Is about knowledge building • Makes products useful to their purpose • Uses infrastructure (technical, documentary, personnel) Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  13. GEONETCast CB: Training END-User Training on the application of products towards a specific use and the dissemination of such data via GEONETCast Usage of GEONETCast for training by reception of training material to be used by local trainers TRAINING General dissemination of training material focussed on environmental (GEOS focus) data Linking GEONETCast products and product navigator (inside portal) with specific training material Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  14. GEONETCast and Training cont. Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  15. GEONETCast and Training cont. • End-User Training on the application of products towards a specific use and the dissemination of such data via GEONETCast Trainer recognizes problem domain, points to appropriate GEONETCast product, provides training on that specific product Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  16. GEONETCast and Training cont. • “GEONETCast Global Village” • Providing real-time reception of GEONETCast data and visualisation of sample products for all SBAs Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  17. GEONETCast and Training cont. • Linking GEONETCast products and product navigator (inside portal) with specific training material GEONETCast Product Product related training material Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int

  18. GEONETCast and Training cont. Proposal: CBC working group on “Training with GEONETCast” Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int
