Three operational satellites Meteosat-7 (Parallel Operations to MSG, Until Early 2005) Meteosat-6 (Rapid Scan Service, Until End 2005) Meteosat-5 (Indian Ocean Data Coverage) Services Image Acquisition, Rectification and Dissemination Data Collection and Re-transmission (Only 0o) Meteorological Data Distribution (Only 0o) Meteorological Products Extraction Rapid Scan Products (Only 10oW, best effort basis) Reprocessing facility Meteosat First Generation(until end of 2008, TBC by Council)
Commissioning finished in December 2003 Regular Operations commenced in January 2004 Operational name is Meteosat-8 MSG-2 launch foreseen early 2005 Meteosat Second GenerationMeteosat-8
Image and Product validation phase-out Until end of February 2004 Status nominal Calibration within spec BB-calibration timing impact (mirror angle dependency) e.g. within 1K with HIRS Rectification nominal Main anomaly: SSPA failure -> transponder limitation Dissemination via EUMETCast Dedicated land-line to Wallops Meteosat Second GenerationMeteosat-8

Experiment under evaluation High resolution altimetry Wide Swath Ocean Altimeter Jason2 / OSTM mission • Core mission • to continue TOPEX/POSEIDON & Jason1 high precision topography measurements • to support operational oceanography implementation • Science requirements for core OSTM mission are identical to Jason-1
OSTM / Jason2 Responsibility Sharing • NASA responsibilities: • Project Management • Launch vehicle • Payload • Advanced Microwave Radiometer • Wide swath Ocean Altimeter (optional) • GPS Receiver • Laser Retroreflector Array • WSOA data validation processing and distribution • NOAA responsibilities: • Support to Project Management • Ground system • Earth Terminals • Ground network • Project Operations Control Center (POCC) • Satellite routine operations after commissioning • Operational product processing and distribution • User interface • CNES responsibilities: • Project Management • Satellite, Proteus bus • Payload • Nadir Altimeter • DORIS tracking receiver • WSOA TWTA • Ground System • System integration & test • Mission Operations during commissioning • Data Processing, archiving and distribution • Support to WSOA Data CALVAL • EUMETSAT responsibilities: • Support to Project Management • Earth terminal, ground network • Operational product processing and distribution • User interface
Operational Science Data Record (OSDR) Wind/wave products distributed to users within 3 hours Geophysical Data Record (GDR) 10 days span, same quality as for Jason-1 Interim Geophysical Data Record (IGDR) Compromise delay vs accuracy under evaluation IGDR + waveform for continental water studies under evaluation Other products WSOA products Multi satellite products Coastal zone products Data Products and Services
Data Dissemination OSDR distributed by Eumetsat in Europe through GTS and other such networks (e.g. world wide web) IGDR distributed by CNES through GTS and other such networks (e.g. world wide web) GDR distributed by CNES NASA/NOAA have similar responsibility on the US side Data Policy All products available through this program will be made available in accordance with WMO resolution 40 and classified as essential data Data Dissemination and Policy
4-party programme with CNES, EUMETSAT, NASA and NOAA Operational continuation of CNES/NASA project JASON-1, satellite launched Dec 2001 First Critical Design review end of 2004 Decision point for JASON-2B end of 2004 Operational programme?! Current launch date April 2008 JASON-2
