Benefits • Integration increases: • Investment efficiency; • System capabilities; • More efficient Observation & Monitoring & Management = Improved Forecasts & Warnings & PWS
Profit from Integration can be increased by: • shared exploitation ofanobserving site, • more cost-effective integrated data sets, • an integrated data and network management, • an integrated information delivery system.
Goals of the Integration Dominant goals of the ION: • To sustain existing obs.; • To integrate existing and new systems; • To adapt the new system to users’ RQs and needs.
The Integration • The integration: an end-to-end process of: • examination, • planning, and • implementation.
The Integration (2) • Observing system priorities: • Reliability • Efficiency • Cost effectiveness • Continuity
Planning the Integration - steps • Users’ needs & requirements; • Present National Observing System; • Required changes; • Priority criteria; • Initial design of Integrated Obs. System; • Processes to response to RQs and needs; • Strategy and Plan
