  10. Required continuity… • Operational continuity with near-real time global coverage data • Comprehensive and sustained monitoring of Essential Climate Variables Fifty years of Satellite Meteorology

  11. International cooperation

  12. First APT reception from Tiros-5 in Lannion, France, 24 Dec 1962 International cooperation & satellite meteorology • 1961:Launch of Tiros-2 with FPR on board UN Resol.1721 on cooperation in satellite meteorology • 1963: WMO establishes World Weather Watch and the GOS Launch of Tiros-5 with APT • 66-73: Launch of scanning camera aboard geostationary ATS-1 Global Atmospheric Research programme (GARP) Coordination of Geostationary satellites: CGMS • 1978: First Global GARP Experiment (FGGE) involves 5 GEOFirst contingency relocation of a satellite (Indian ocean) • 79-09: India (79), China (89), Korea (05) joined CGMSSatellite back-up operations in 84, 91, 92, 98, 03 • 1998: USA & Europe sign Initial Joint Polar System agreement • 2006: Response to GCOS by CGMS & CEOS (virtual constellations) Fifty years of Satellite Meteorology

  13. Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) • 37 years • 12 satellite operators • Geostationary constellation of 10-15 satellites • 3 polar-orbiting constellations of 2-3 satellites • Other missions (altimetry, GPS RO)in transition from R&D to operations • Contingency plan • Technical standards • Intercalibration • Products • Training Fifty years of Satellite Meteorology

  14. Challenges

  15. Challenges • Continuity and improvement of operational constellations • Sustained observation of ALL Essential Climate Variables observable from space • Transition Research to Operations for priority, mature observaions • Generation of QC products • Integration : network optimization, composite products, system interoperability Fifty years of Satellite Meteorology

  16. Thank you ! Fifty years of Satellite Meteorology
