  3. Butfirst a short introductionaboutwho ”we” are … • What and who is EUMETNET ? • What is E-AMDAR ?

  4. EUMETNET Members

  5. EUMETNET is …… • An Economical Interest Group (EIG) of 29 European NMS’s • Provides a framework for co-operative programmes relating to: • observing systems (EUCOS Programme) • data processing • basic forecasting products • research and development • training • Aims to: • develop the collective capability of EUMETNET Members • deliver to all European users the best available quality of meteorological information • management of collective resources more efficiently

  6. EUMETNET does ….. • MemberNMHS:scontribute in the EUMETNET budget (11 MUSD) in proportion totheir GNP • Someof the 20 Programmesaremandatory and othersareoptional • By costsharing the benefitsaremaximised at lowercostto the individualMembers • The individualProgrammeshavebeendesigned by individualMembers or groupsofMembers • EachProgramme is managed by a ResponsibleMember on behalfof all Membersduring a defined period (currently 5 years)

  7. EUMETNET provides … • the opportunity for Memberstofinance extra AMDAR data for national NWP requirements • the opportunity for other WMO Memberinstitutestofinancetargeted AMDAR data for national NWP requirements

  8. E-AMDAR Management • Swedish Meteorological and HydrologicalInstitute (SMHI) is the ResponsibleMember 2003-2006 and 2007-2012 • OneProgramme Manager (SMHI) 0.9 FTE • OneTechnicalCoordinator (UK Met Office) 0.9 FTE • Special Coodinator for the Humidity Project ~0.3 FTE offeredin kind by German WeatherService (DWD)

  10. AMDAR Programmes: Network Coverage 11

  11. E-AMDAR – Primary observation area

  12. FITTED WITH EXISTING SENSORS + AVIONICS HARDWARE + AVIONICS SOFTWARE + COMMUNICATIONS AMDAR SOFTWARE = + AMDAR Technical description AMDAR (AircraftMeteorologicalDAtaRelay) • Nonew hardware is required on the aircraft - the only additional requirement to make AMDAR work is the AMDAR software. This is installed in the aircraft avionics or communications hardware. TYPICAL AMDAR INSTALLATION

  13. Automatic observations Ascent Part 1: 5 or 10 hPa intervals 3 to 20 second intervals (default 6) for first 100 hPa for 30 to 200 seconds (default 90) Ascent Part 2: 25 or 50 hPa intervals 20 to 60 second intervals (default 20) above first 100 hPa for 490 to 1050 seconds (default 510) Enroute: 1 to 60 minute intervals (default 7)

  14. Highfrequncyprofiles – pilot test 17-18 MayCharles de Gaulle, Heathrow, Moscow, Lisbon, Vienna and Naples

  15. 13 Cooperating Airlines • Air France • Blue1 • British Airways • easyJet • Finnair • KLM • Lufthansa (including Regional, Italia and Cargo • Novair • SAS • Thomas Cook Scandinavia

  16. Operational – Some Achievements • Delivering high quality data (~45 000 obs/day) according to EUCOS requirements • Delivering additional data for national purposes to DWD, Météo France and UK Met Office • Delivering targeted data to India Meteorological Department, South African Weather Service and Singapore for national requirements • More than 800 aircraft in 13 airlines now serving • Also the Airbus A380 in Lufthansa is providing data
