  1. WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION Weather – Climate - Water WMO Information System (WIS) Dieter C. Schiessl Director, Crosscutting Coordination WMO Tel: +41-22-730-8369 Mobile: +41-79-615-1202Fax: +41-22-730-8021 dschiessl@wmo.int

  2. WMO is a “system of systems” • WMO programmes directly contribute to GEO societal benefit areas • Weather (WWW), Disasters (DPM), Water (HWR)Climate (WCP with co-sponsored GCOS and WCRP)Agro-meteorology (AMP), and indirectly more • WMO’s World Weather Watch (WWW) includes 3 major operational systems: • Global Observing System (GOS) • Global Data Processing and Forecasting System (GDPFS) • Global Telecommunication System (GTS) • WMO Information System (WIS) will expand the GTS with new functions and connectivity to meet wider needs beyond WWW and even WMO

  3. Some GTS characteristics • Integrated network interconnecting NMSs worldwide, using point-to-point and multipoint circuits, terrestrial & satellite links • Hierarchical structure at 3 levels: • Main Telecom Network : 3 World Centres and 15 Regional Hubs • 7 Regional Meteorological Telecom Networks • 180+ national centres for data collection/concentration/distribution • Designed for operational time-critical data exchange among the global community of National Met Centres (NMC) and a few other agencies; • Operated and funded by the NMSs; based on WMO-agreed rules (codes, abbreviated bulletin headings, protocols, procedures) • Main features: exceptional reliability, continuity, timeliness

  6. Current situation Regional/Specialized Meteorological Centres Meteorological and R&D Satellite Operator Centres World Meteorological Centres National MeteorologicalCentres Information exchange – multiplicity of procedures; real-time and non-real time; push & pull Information management – multiplicity of data formats; few/uncoordinated metadata & catalogues International Organizations (IAEA, CTBTO, UNEP, FAO.. ) World Radiation Centre Regional Instrument Centres 5 GAW World Data Centres GCOS Data Centres Global Run-off Data Centre IRI and other climate research institutes Universities Regional Climate Centres stop stop stop Commercial Service Providers WWW GTS WWW GTS stop stop WMO World Data Centres stop Internet

  7. Cg-XIV (2003) The multiplicity of systems of the different Programmes causes incompatibilities, inefficiencies, duplication of efforts and higher overall costs. Congress approved the concept of the WMO Information System (WIS), which should provide a single coordinated global infrastructure for the collection and sharing of information in support of all WMO and related international programmes; EC-LVI (2004) Identified WIS to be one of the key contributions of WMO to GEOSS; established a coordination mechanism across TCs. EC-LVII (2005) Decided to accelerate development and implementation of WIS beginning implementation, at least in some countries, in 2006 instead of 2008, as originally planned.

  8. WIS brings new features and opportunities New! • Interoperable information exchange standards, functions and services through Portal architecture allowing a variety of codes, protocols, and data representation forms • Inter-disciplinarydiscovery, retrieval and exchange of information in real and non-real time through a single entry point in each country • Open to all users for data discovery, to authorized users for data access (according to national data policies) • Data are described in on-line catalogues using metadata based on ISO 19139 • Industry standards and off-the-shelf hardware and software systems to ensure cost-effectiveness and inter-operability

Climatology Centre IRI, Hadley Centre, other climate research centres Universities Regional Climate Centres Commercial Service Providers WMO World Data Centres internet Real-time “push”

  10. National Centre (NC) • Provides information collected/generated in the country to a GISC or DCPC • Serves as portal for national users and/or administrates their access to WIS • Several NCs in a country are possible (not just the NMC) Data Collection and Production Centre (DCPC) • Provides the programme-specific data & products for international exchange • Supports information “Push” and ”Pull” mechanisms • Generates, maintains,makes accessible and provides to GISCs metadata catalogues of its data & products

  11. Global Information System Centre (GISC) • Receives information from NCs and DCPCs • Exchanges information (data and metadata) with other GISCs • Disseminates, within its area of responsibility, the entire set of WMO data and products for routine global exchange • Generates, maintains and makes accessible metadata catalogues of all data and products for global echange • Ensures around-the-clock, reliable and secure operations

  12. IGDDS within the WIS LEO satellites Global data (recorded/dumped) GEO satellites in the region R&D satellites Polar orbiting satellites Network of HRPT stations RARS Satellite products Local processing Local processing Local processing Central processing Central processing Regional processing GISC (Data, metadata and user management) Interoperability DCPC Data, metadata & user management Data exchange with other DCPCs Routine Dissemination Request/ reply (Internet) Request/ reply (Internet) ADM Other media National centres and other users

  13. WIS Implementation Development of: • Metadata catalogues • Internet portals • Data acquisition and discovery service • Data distribution service: push and pull • Monitoring and control functions • Operational aspects like data synchronisation, back-up, administrative issues, etc. through pilot projects …

  14. Main WIS Pilot Projects • JCOMM: GISC-E2EDM prototype (Obninsk, Russian Federation); • CBS: VPN Pilot Project in RAs II and V; • CCl: CliWare (Obninsk, Russian Federation); • EUMETNET: UNIDART project (Uniform data request interface); • CBS: SIMDAT / RA VI Virtual GISC project involving 10 leading centres in RA II, IV, V and VI; • CAgM: WAMIS (World Agrometeoroloigcal Information Service, Republic of Korea); • CAS: THORPEX/TIGGE (THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble)

  15. EU-funded SIMDAT / RA VI Virtual GISC project- A portal will be installed on each site running SIMDAT software and will give users a single view of all the data available at all sites. A demonstration at CBS-Ext(069 (Nov. 2006) will show some of the portals and that users can discover the data from the different sites. (USA) (Australia) (China) (Japan)

  16. WIS Implementation 2006 • Reference implementation WMO Core metadata; • Integration of metadata structures into pilot GISCs and DCPCs • Internet portal • Basic data acquisition, discovery and push-pull services; • RA VI VGISC project as a GISC prototype; • DCPCs prototypes including the ECMWF and EUMETSAT DCPC projects associated with the VGISC project; • an NCAR DCPC prototype; • a DCPC prototype for JCOMM related data;

  17. Pilot and demo projects will be evaluated Continuing promotion of WIS; WMO Metadata catalogues Begin of development of an “open source” software library, metadata acquisition & synchronisation, including Internet portal software;  Some GISCs will become operational offering metadata; Internet portals; “push/pull” services; performance monitoring; Some DCPCs and NCs, will be linked to the GISCs; Data discovery service operational; Development and implementation of the WIS training components Regional implementation plans will be developed; Network performance monitoring WIS Deliverables (2007 – 2008)

  18. WIS and GEOSS • GEOSS comprises a GEO Information System of Systems (GEO-ISS) • GEO-ISS to serve 9 societal benefit areas and provide 6 main functions in each of these areas: • data collection, management, storage, routine distribution, on request retrieval and interactive services • WIS (including IGDDS) is a core contributor to GEO-ISS • covering mainly the weather, climate and water-related themes • providing all 6 functions for relevant data • under the responsibility of WMO • It is expected that other networks provided by other communities will serve the needs of other themes, all being interoperable

  19. Potential WIS contributions to GEOSS • WIS will provide data and products related to WMO programmes contributing to GEO (in particular for weather, climate, water, natural disasters related societal benefit areas) • WIS will offer access to these data for other GEO users outside WMO • WIS can potentially assist in other GEO data exchanges, if technically compatible and cost-efficient • WIS’ multidisciplinary, global, multifunction architecture could serve as an example for other relevant networks needed for the GEO information exchange

  20. GEO-NETCast within GEOSS (1) • GEO-NETcast (a component of GEO-ISS) provides a high-capacity (satellite dissemination) service available for all GEO themes • GEO-NETCast will have certain components in common with WIS, e.g., • IGDDS/EUMETCAST is a contribution to GEO-NETCast & WIS • use of common data management standards • GEO-NETcast governance will take into account the overall GEO-ISS architecture and requirments of data providers and users, and infrastructure providers
