  8. Space-based observing systemOverview (Oct 2012) • 12 operational geostationary satellites • 6 operational sun-synchronous • R&D satellites in polar orbit • Other (inclined) orbits • Recent launches: • Megha-Tropiques (ISRO-CNES) • Suomi-NPP (NOAA) • FY-2F (CMA) • GCOM-W1 (JAXA) • MSG-3 (EUMETSAT) • Metop-B (EUMETSAT) WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  9. GEO 2013: INSAT-3D 2014: Himawari/AMI 2015: FY-4/AGRI 2016: GOES-R/ABI 2017: GEO-Kompsat-2A/AHI 2018: MTG-I/FCI 2020: MTG-S/IRS LEO JPSS (2016) Space-based observing system Upcoming operational satellite generations / sensors • CBS-15 Guideline on User Preparation for new op. sat systems • Information, proxy data sets, product pre-development, parallel operation, guidelines for data access/equipment, training • Establish a User Readiness project WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  10. Space-based observing system Facilitating further integration • Rolling Review of Requirements • Global planning • CGMS baseline, Manual on the GOS • Architecture for climate monitoring from space • GSICS (intercalibration) • Product quality harmonization • Data format and metadata standards WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  11. Rolling Review of (observation) Requirements database OSCAR (www.wmo.int/oscar) (1) References of > 500 satellites > 700 instruments with characteristics and indication of relevant variables WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  12. Rolling Review of (observation) Requirements database OSCAR (www.wmo.int/oscar) (2) • Gap Analysis by function or by variable WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  15. EO products & applications Observation capabilities Cross-cutting Information& capacity building Access to data and products WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  16. Products and applications • Best practices on product quality (e.g. « maturity matrix ») • Algorithm validation, documentation, software maintenance, availability, quality assurance, data stewardship… • Collaborative product development/generation • SCOPE-Climate Monitoring • SCOPE-Nowcasting and SWFDP • RGB composite imagery • Volcanic ash detection ? • Important role of international science groups • Sounding (ITWG), Winds (IWWG), Radio-occultation (IROWG), Precipitation (IPWG) WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  17. EO products & applications Observation capabilities Cross-cutting Information& capacity building Access to data and products WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  18. Facilitating access to data and products« IGDDS strategy » • CBS-15 Procedure to define regional data access requirements • RA-I, RA-III/IV, RA-V… (acknowledging NAEDEX/APSDEU for NWP) • Promote multi-mission DVB-S retransmission services • e.g. EUMETCast, CMACast, with « regional » contents • Issue with coverage of America and Pacific • Promote Direct Broadcast standards for LEO • CBS-XV recommended X-Band + L-Band for future LEO • Regional ATOVS Retransmission System (RARS) for near-real time sounding data for NWP • WIS metadata standards for data discovery and retrieval • « Access Guides » on http://www.wmo.int/sat • Data Access Guide (will be transferred to OSCAR) • Product Access Guide http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/sat/product-access-guide_en.php WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  19. RARS expansion to advanced soundersWay forward defined at ITSC-18 • Implement /upgrade for Metop and for NPP receiving stations • Implement adequate servers (computing power at each station) • Install CSPP and AAPP • Organize the telecommunications at the regional level • taking into account station locations, GTS hubs, and bandwidth • Concentration by FTP and dissemination by xxxCast ? • Start with retransmission of Metop/ATOVS products • Define filenames and/or bulletin headers for the new products • Proceed with Metop/IASI and NPP products retransmission • Channel selection and/or Principal Components ? • With/without overlap among stations ? • Inform and seek feedback from NWP community WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  20. EO products & applications Observation capabilities Cross-cutting Information& capacity building Access to data and products WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  21. Information and capacity building • Biennial survey on satellite use by WMO Members • www.wmo.int/sat • Regional users’ conferences: • AOMSUC (Jeju 2012, Melbourne 2013) • EUMETSAT (Sopot 2012, Vienna 2013) • EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa (Addis, 2012) • NOAA (Miami 2011, Maryland 2013) • Virtual Laboratory (VLab) WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  22. EO products & applications Observation capabilities Cross-cutting Information& capacity building Access to data and products WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  23. Other activities: Space Weather • Involves 19 WMO Members & 7 international organizations • Observation requirements taken into account in the RRR • Space Weather warning services to aviationbeing discussed with ICAO • Space Weather product portal • Initial training modules WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24

  24. Conclusions: key messages • CBS recommended review process for sat data access requirements • CBS recommended user readiness projects for new sat generations • OSCAR resource now available (Feedback?) • GSICS resource now available • RARS / advanced sounders: • open questions to NAEDEX/APSDEU • Direct Broadcast dissemination • Frequency & standard issues • Regional retransmission systems (xxxCast) • Coverage and content to be further consolidated WMO SP report to APSDEU-12/NAEDEX-24
