RTH NEW DELHIINDIA METEOROLOGICAL DEPARTMENT NARENDRA NIGAM amssdelhi@imdmail.gov.in
A massive modernization program encompassing observation, connectivity, supercomputing and forecasting facilities • under an over-arching digital framework has been undertaken on priority basis in India. Under modernization program RTH New Delhi • system will be replaced by a new system conforming to GISC specifications. At present as per WMO No.386 it is performing • the following functions : • 1. Collecting the observational data originating from IMD’s national network and associated • National Meteorological Centre’s ( NMC ) of neighboring countries and transmitting such data in appropriate form • on the MTN, either directly or through the appropriate WMC/RTH. • 2. Relaying selectively on the circuits of the MTN, as internationally agreed in the appropriate form, the meteorological • data and processed meteorological information products received from these circuits and/or from RTH’s not situated on the MTN. • 3. Ensuring the selective distribution of meteorological data and meteorological information products to • the IMD’s national network and associated National Meteorological Centre’s ( NMC ) of neighboring countries • and to the RTH’s not situated on the MTN which they serve. • 4. Checking and making corrections in order to maintain standard telecommunication procedure. • 5. Establishing data disseminating systems territorial and/or via satellite as required in accordance with original plans; • 6. Carrying out the monitoring of the operations of GTS of the WWW. • 7. The new RTH system at New Delhi will be WIS GISC compliant and provide three fundamental types of • WIS services to meet the different requirements, as follows: • Routine collection and dissemination service for time-critical and operation-critical data and products: • This service is based on real-time “push” mechanism including multicast and broadcast; it would be implemented essentially • through dedicated telecommunication means providing a guaranteed quality of service; • Data Discovery, Access and Retrieval service: • This service is based on request/reply “pull” mechanism with relevant data management functions; it would be implemented • essentially through the Internet; • Timely delivery service for data and products: • This service is based on delayed mode “push” mechanism; it would be implemented through a combination of dedicated • telecommunication means and of public data-communication networks, especially the Internet.
8. The whole RTH system will be configured as two separate Message switching systems (National MSS and International MSS System) and Database cum portal server. 9. This system will be configured for high availability cluster. 10. The traffic corresponding a particular LAN is not allowed to cross to other LAN unless it is authorized. So individual LAN will be connected through firewall. .. 11. The database system will decode and store data pool as well as metadata in the metadata pool and provide web delivery on the front-end. 12. Storage will be low latency and high volume. . 13 Mobile, WAN, MPLS VPN, DVB-VSAT, INSAT MDD,INSAT-DCWDS, WorldSpace DAB, DTH TV and Internet network shall be connected to Server through firewall. In this system there will be RADAR, satellite, Earthquake, and multihazard information. There will be Content Checker in hot stand-by redundant mode for Virus, Denial of service and spamming and will have the facility to alert users and Administrator F W I A R L E L F W I A R L E L Internet National Cluster GTS/HQ LAN International Cluster

Recent Developments at RTH New Delhi Table Driven Code Form: RTH New Delhi is transmitting daily Synop (on test basis) and SATOB messages of Indian Region in BUFR Format to Tokyo through GTS Digital Satellite Broadcast of IMD through Asia Star satellite has been changed to multicasting File naming server installed is providing data to users through TCP/IP Socket, E-mail, SMS and FTP in WMO File naming conventions. It has also feature of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract information from imageries. GMDSS bulletin is also placed on IMD website in real time.
Proposed RTH Features • High Availability (more than 99.9%) • Cluster Mode • Duplex Web, E-mail and FTP • Conversion from CREX, BUFR, GRIB to ASCII and vice versa • Audio visual Alarm for warning messages • Message reception through PSTN/Dial-up and SMS • Transmission of warnings through SMS to predefined numbers. • File switching • OCR base FAX transmission and reception • Authentication server for Internet users • Bilingual features (English and Hindi) • Daily throughput of data -- 100 GB. • GUI base interface and web interface.
Ongoing Modernization Projects of Telecom Division Data Terminal At 75 Observatories 64 kbps Terminal AMSS At 6 locations (4 old +2 new) Common People IVRS At 26 MCs Internet 64 kbps – 2 mbps Link PSTN/Dial-Up Link Mobile/SMS Link VSAT Link Internet Link for E-mail & FTP VPN Link RTH, At New Delhi VSAT Network ( At 26 Locations ) ( At 26 Locations ) International Network Main Flow of Data
Data Terminal ( At 75 Observatories/Field Stations ) Data Terminal At Observatories Features: • The system will be PC (P-IV) based. • The system can connect to Data Collecting Centers (64 kbps terminal) using PSTN/Dial-up link for submission and retrieval of data. • It will also supports transmission and reception of messages via GSM based GPRS or SMS. • The system can transmit and receive messages via E-mail, FTP and FAX. • The system has browser based GUI for data handling/manipulation, submit and retrieve meteorological messages.
