1. MFI company profile and strategic positioning CBS-WISSeoul, Nov 07th, 2006Patrick BENICHOU
MFI company profile • Created in May 2002 • Subsidiary of Météo-France • More than 20 years of experience in project management over 150 countries • Observation networks, • Airports, • Meteorological services • Since 2002: • 128 projects • 61 countries
Our mother company,Météo-France • 3700 meteorologists working in: • 7 mainland regional centres • 6 overseas territories • National Met College • Technical Directorates (Toulouse) • ISO9001-2000 certified for all its activities • Among top countries in NWP • Self-developed Meteorological Information Systems Météo-France’s presence in the world • Météo-France is involved in WIS (V-GISC) • World leader for commercial income & cost recovery
2. MFI vision of Information System in relation to NMSs global modernization projects CBS-WISSeoul, Nov 07th, 2006Patrick BENICHOU
Infrastructure & Observation Meteorological Information Systems NMS Global Project essential components Consultancy Global Design Integration Capacity Building PWS & EWS
Typical Global Project withMeteo France International • Typical global project overview (customer-driven approach):« from Observation to Services through Information System » Observation Information System Services to end-users

3. Meteofactory® as a critical tool to set up effective PWS/EWS capability CBS-WISSeoul, Nov 07th, 2006Patrick BENICHOU
Bridging DPFS (Data Proc. & Forecasting) and PWS • Added value process • A general trend to get forecasters’expertise in digital form(database forecasting & related verification) • A strong need forPWS / EWS to rely on humanexpertise as well • A willingness to provide users withdetailed forecasts at county level • A need to increase the number of products & users while keeping staff at reasonable level • Hence concepts of « Forecast once Produce many » • Met Editor (routine work) • Awareness Map Editor (severe weather) • … as a bridge between Forecasting and PWS / EWS activities
AwareMet for severe weather management • Setting up Early Warning Services as an integral part of PWS
EWS in Météo-France (2001-2006) • Procedure includes more & more players / stakeholders • Civil Security, Roads, Health, Hydrology, …
METEOFACTORY Maximize user satisfaction from IS Multimedia dissemination

Meteofactory® and Cost Recovery • Meteofactory® PWS / EWS solution • paves the way to Cost recovery • gives visibility & credibility to NMS • Needed by all NMSs

CIPS : Central Information & Processing System • What • Real time DB (obs, radar, sat, NWP, objects, …) • Archiving system (easy access), • Task scheduler (e.g. MOS), • Data browser (high level access), • High Performance Computing (e.g. Cluster) • Why • Get a comprehensive & open Central Information System • Enable NMS to manage data and set up, test, schedule, run and supervise all relevant central operational tasks at HQ level • Where • Any major main Centre • How : joint MF-MFI development CIPS

MFI main views about WIS implementation • Few IT systems to be impacted within NMS Info System • AMSS (long term only) • Central Information System (e.g. CIPS) : still need for national data management • Some NMSs will have ability to act as DCPC • NMSs need to keep full authority on • Data policy • Their own National Info System • PWS / EWS policy and related systems, incl. user access to data

Executive summary CBS-WISSeoul, Nov 07th, 2006Patrick BENICHOU
Understanding IS priorities in most NMSs • Top priority • Forecasting systems (HQ, RCs) • PWS / EWS (HQ, RCs) • Pilot briefing (Airports) • WAN / VSAT-VPN (all main centres) • Priority 2 • Data collection systems (HQ, RCs) • Climate data management (HQ) • AMSS (HQ, RCs) • For Main NMSs • CIPS (HQ, back-up centre) W I S W I S W I S
MFI & WISsummary • MFI Information System • Comprehensive, proven, and scalable (HQ+RCs) • Implemented in various configurations through Global projects • MeteoFactory® • a key solution for PWS / EWS at HQ/regional levels • Crucial in NMSs cost recovery policy whatever WIS implementation modalities • MFI & WIS • WIS « spirit » anticipated through MFI’s CIPS solution • MFI supports NMS’ sovereignty and ability to set up data policies • MFI with NMSs(« with you for weather ») • For short term full IS implementation • For mid-term WIS compliance, be aware of time scales and let’s have everybody on board… • Thanks to WMO for invitation and…
… see you around this weekand … in Geneva next year! thank you for your attention
