  2. WMO Space Programme Objectives Enhancing the space-based Global Observing System Users: WMO Members and Programmes Satellite operators Improving availabilityof & access to satellite data and products Strengthening users’ capabilityto benefit from satellites NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  3. Space-based Global Observing System Schematic NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  4. Challenges and responses (1)Space-based observing system • Coordinating and optimizing the space-based GOS • Requirements and Gap Analysis • Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) • Building up a sustainable climate observing system • Gaps on observation of ECVs require broad collaboration • « Architecture » concept being developed with CEOS, CGMS • Continuity and upgrade of operational meteorological missions • Radio-occultation, scatterometers, hyperspectral IR LEO & GEO • Higher resolution of GEO and LEO • Interoperability and consistency of global system • Intercalibration with reference sensors NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  5. Global Space-based Inter-calibration System (GSICS) NOAA-CMA-CNES-EUMETSAT-IMD-ISRO-JAXA-JMA-KMA-NASA-NIST-USGS-WMO LEO-LEO intercalibration • Routine IR inter-calibration against IASI and AIRS on simultaneous overpass • VIS and MW calibration under development GEO versus LEO More on: http://gsics.wmo.int NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  6. Products Applications From Satellite data NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  7. Challenges and responses (2)Data/products availability and accessibility • Moving from data to products • Sharing development and validation efforts • Encourage responsibilities for regional/global products • Validated, documented, quality controlled • Data & products accessibility • Direct Broadcast on agreed standards and frequencies • Integrated dissemination systems (e.g GEONETCast) • Searchable in catalogues (metadata) in WMO Information System NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  8. IGDDS – GEONETCast footprintDVB-S Dissemination of products or data NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  9. Challenges and responses (3)Supporting new missions/priorities • Emphasis on climate services • Air quality • Volcano ash plume monitoring • Space Weather • …… NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  11. Space Weather • More vulnerability to Space Weather effects with increased use of satellites and cross-polar flights • New solar cycle • Emerging Space Weather operations can benefit from experience of weather community • 13 countries and 6 international organizations currently participating in this effort with WMO NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  12. Challenges and responses (4)Getting closer to the users • Regional initiatives • Americas: RA III/ RA IV Satellite Data Requirements Task Team • Africa: RA I EUMETCast Group • Asia: RA II Pilot Project • Virtual Laboratory for Education and Training • 12 Centres of Excellence world wide • Regional user conferences • Satellite Direct Readout Conference, GOES Users Conference • Asia-Oceania Meteorological Satellite Conference • EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference

  13. As a conclusion… • The Space Programme: a privileged framework for collaboration among satellite operators and user communities • Improves the benefit to all through sharing best practices • Relies on WMO Members and their space agencies • Thank NOAA for SDRO : interaction with users is a key for the success NOAA 2011 Satellite Direct Readout Conference
