  1. EUMETSAT‘s CM-SAF Capacities in ECV generation Rainer Hollmann Science Coordinator Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) http://www.cmsaf.eu

  2. Content • EUMETSAT’s CM SAF • Overview of CM SAF’S generated ECV’s • CM SAF Satellite retrievals and input data • GCOS Guidelines for CDR preparation • Dissemination • application (area) needed to establish the Copernicus Climate Service do your ECVs contribute? • Summary

  3. Sustained Climate Information Flow • CM SAF is part of the EUMETSAT Ground Segment • Project-cycle is 5 years

  4. CM SAF overview EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF) EUMETSAT Member States EUMETSAT Cooperating States CM SAF Member States

  5. Targeted User Communities • Global and regional climate trends and variability analysis • high quality Climate Data Records (CDR) are expected e.g. for climate studies in contribution to IPCC. • Thematic Climate Data Records (TCDR) from CM SAF will provide consistent information on Essential Climate Variables (ECV)related to the global energy and water cycle supporting closure studies • Support to global and regional climate modelling • use of Climate Data Records for model evaluations, feedback studies, and uncertainty studies • these datasets needed at high(er) temporal and spatial resolutions • most recent satellite instrument, onlycover short time periods. • Operational climate monitoring and infrastructure planning • long term Climate Data Records(of ECVs)ANDnear real time operational products required • Consistent climate datasets and according near real time operational products needed (identical algorithm and auxilliary data)

  10. Data flow example for SEVIRI CDR • System architecture modular designed • System allows for re-processing

  11. Common characteristics of CDR‘s • Common format of CM SAF CDR’s: Netcdf CF 1.4 • Long-time archival and DOI numbering of CDR’s: www.cmsaf.eu/DOI/ • independent external expert review process for all CDR’s: • Requirements Review • Product consolidation review • Dataset Readiness review • Publication in peer-reviewed literature • Information also available via the ECV-inventory

  12. Content • EUMETSAT’s CM SAF • Overview of CM SAF’S generated ECV’s • CM SAF Satellite retrievals and input data • GCOS Guidelines for CDR preparation • Dissemination • application (area) needed to establish the Copernicus Climate Service do your ECVs contribute? • Summary

  13. Compliance with GCOS guidelines (I)

  14. Compliance with GCOS guidelines (II)

  15. Application of Maturity Index (prelim.) Note terminology interpreted as of CM SAF

  16. Content • EUMETSAT’s CM SAF • Overview of CM SAF’S generated ECV’s • CM SAF Satellite retrievals and input data • GCOS Guidelines for CDR preparation • Dissemination • application (area) needed to establish the Copernicus Climate Service do your ECVs contribute? • Summary

  17. CM SAF Data dissemination • Direct, fast, free of charge access • User Support facility • Full documentation for CDR‘s online Web User Interface (WUI) wui.cmsaf.eu

  18. Application Areas for copernicus climate service • CM SAF provides gridded satellite based ECV which serve as component for the climate indicator data store • CM SAF provides a sustained environment useful for the harmonization/coordination & QA platform • CM SAF CDR’s are directly used in SBA e.g. renewable energy

  19. Content • EUMETSAT’s CM SAF • Overview of CM SAF’S generated ECV’s • CM SAF Satellite retrievals and input data • GCOS Guidelines for CDR preparation • Dissemination • application (area) needed to establish the Copernicus Climate Service do your ECVs contribute? • Summary

  20. Summary • CM SAF exploits satellite based remote sensing data to derive Climate Data Records (CDR) for Essential Climate Variables (ECV) with special emphasis on three target user groups • Global and regional climate trends and variability analysis • Support to global and regional climate modelling • Climate service and infrastructure planning • CM SAFdevelops and improves methods to derive CDRs on an operational basis and in a sustained mode. • CM SAF maintains and provides an operational and sustained infrastructure that can e.g. serve the community within the transition of mature CDR products from the research into operational environments. • CM SAF continuously complement and improve its portfolio of CDRs of the global energy and water cycle
