  2. WMO: Observations, Models, Data and Information WIS Overview

  3. Cloud I Tokyo Beijing Washington Melbourne Sofia Moscow New Delhi Prague Brasilia Exeter Buenos Aires Jeddah Offenbach Cloud II Nairobi Toulouse Cairo Dakar Algiers Global Telecommunication System (GTS) WIS Overview

  4. Vision of WIS WMO Members decided that WIS will: • Use international industry standards • Build on the Global Telecommunication System (GTS), with a smooth and coordinated transition; • Provide time-critical data exchange, as well as data access and retrieval services; • Support all WMO and related international programmes. WIS Overview

  5. Implementation of WIS (Cg-XV, 2007) WIS is evolving in two parallel parts: Part A: GTS continued consolidation and further improvements for data and products delivery • Time-critical and operation-critical delivery based on real-time “push” via dedicated telecommunications • Timely delivery based on delayed mode “push” via combination dedicated + public networks Part B: extension of services through flexible data discovery, access and retrieval services, as well as flexible timely delivery WIS Overview

  6. KEY: NC = National Centres GISC = Global Information System Centres DCPC = Data Collection or Production Centres Real-time "push" On-demand "pull" Types of Centres: GISCs, DCPCs, and NCs • GAW World Data Centres • GCOS Data Centres • Global Run-off Data Centre • Global Precipitation Climatology Centre International Organizations (IAEA, CTBTO, UNEP, FAO.. ) • World Radiation Centre • Regional Instrument Centres Internet DCPC • IRI and other climate research institutes • Universities • Regional Climate Centres NC Internet NC Area Meteorological Data Communication Networks (AMDCNs) NC/DCPC NC/DCPC GISC NC Commercial Service Providers NC WIS core network GISC GISC NC NC DCPC GISC GISC DCPC Satellite DisseminationIGDDS, EUMETSAT, etc. WMO World DataCentres Internation projects (eg GMES HALO) WMO World DataCentres Internation projects (eg GMES HALO) SatelliteTwo-Way System Internet Internet NC NC NC NC WIS Overview

  7. WIS Compliance Specifications • Existing centres within WMO Member States may apply for designation as one of the functional centres forming the core infrastructure of WIS: • Global Information System Centres (GISCs) • Data Collection or Production Centres (DCPCs) • National Centres (NCs) • Designation requires a statement of compliance with WIS requirements, compiled by the Inter-Commission Coordination Group on WIS (ICG-WIS) • The WIS Compliance Specifications document is the authoritative source for specifications applicable to WIS GISCs, DCPCs, and NCs WIS Overview

  8. Data and Product Users Interoperability and WIS Networking National Centres (NCs) Global Information System Centres (GISCs) Data Collection or Production Centres (DCPCs) WIS Overview

  9. Benefits of WIS In addition to improving efficiency, WIS: • Enhances collection of critical data • Catalogs all WMO data and products • Enhances availability of time-critical data and products at all national centres • Opens up GTS to other types of data • Exploits technology innovation WIS Overview
