  6. First APT reception from Tiros-8 in Lannion, France, 24 Dec 63 50 years of cooperation in satellite meteorology • 1959: Explorer VII flies with Flat Plate Radiometer • 1961:Launch of Tiros-2 with FPR UN Resol.1721 on cooperation in satellite meteorology • 1963: WMO establishes World Weather Watch and the GOS Launch of Tiros-8 equipped 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)

  7. 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 • Science groups: ITWG,IWWG,IPWG,IROWG

  8. Outline • WMO Space Programme context and organization • Enhancing space-based observation • Expanding data access and use • Challenges

  9. The space-based Global Observing System Vision for 2025

  10. Satellite missions in the Vision for the GOS in 2025 Heritage operational missions • GEO: imager, HS IR sounder, lightning • Sun-synchronous: imager, IR/MW sounders • Ocean surface topography constellation • Radio-Occultation Sounding constellation • Ocean Surface Wind constellation • Global Precipitation constellation • Earth Radiation Budget (incl. GEO) • Atmospheric Composition (incl. GEO) • Ocean colour and vegetation imaging • Dual-angle view IR imagery • Land Surface Imaging • Synthetic Aperture Radar • Space Weather instruments • VIS/IR imagers in HEO • Doppler wind lidar, Low-frequency MW • GEO MW • GEO High-resolution narrow-band imagers • Gravimetric sensors Transition from R&D to operational status New missionsfor WMO Operational pathfinders and demonstrators

Studying Earth as a Complex System Surface Winds Precipitation Reflection and Transmission Evaporation Transpiration Surface Temperature Land Atmosphere Circulation Surface Winds Precipitation Reflection and Transmission Surface Temperature Evaporation Currents Upwelling Infiltration Runoff Nutrient Loading Surface Temperature Currents Ocean

  12. WIGOS: Key areas of standardization

  13. Global Space-based Inter-calibration System (GSICS) CMA, CNES, EUMETSAT, JMA, KMA, NASA, NOAA, NIST POLAR- POLAR intercalibration • To ensure consistency of datasets from different missions and operators • 8 Organizations currently contributing (+WMO) GEO versus Polar-orbiting Simultaneous Nadir Overpass (SNO) inter-calibration method • Images: courtesy of Mitch Goldberg, NOAA/NESDIS

  15. DCPC NMC NMC NMC/ DPCP Managed, Regional and Internet NMC NMC/DCPC Communication Networks NMC GISC NMC GISC GISC NMC DCPC DCPC GISC GISC Satellite Dissemination NMC NMC SatelliteTwo-Way System NMC NMC On-demand “pull” WIS Information exchange – common procedures; real-time and non-real time Information management – a few standard data formats; coordinated metadata and catalogues International Organizations (IAEA, CTBTO, UNEP, FAO.. ) World Radiation Centre Regional Instrument Centres 5 GAW World Data Centres GCOS Data Centres Global Run-off Data Centre IRI and other climate research institutes Universities Regional Climate Centres Commercial Service Providers WMO World Data Centres internet Real-time “push”

  16. Integrated Global Data Dissemination Strategy • Identify data requirements • Regional approach (South America, Africa, Asia Pacific,..) • Thematic approach (NWP: NAEDEX, ASPDEU) • User/provider dialogue • Encourage DVB-S dissemination(EUMETCast, FYCast, Geonetcast) • Integrating multiple data sources on one media • Cost-efficient for time-critical high data volume, many users • Complemented by Direct Broadcast, GTS, Internet • Satellite data providers to becomeDCPC, GISC in the WIS • Implement WIS metadata standards and filename convention • Interoperability (catalogue search standards) • User information (web), training, • Challenges : prepare for data explosion with new missions (GOES-R, MTG, NPOESS..)

  19. Evolution of the RARS coverage(% of the globe’s surface)

  20. RARS Implementation status • All data on the GTS • Harmonized implementation of the WMO BUFR code, GTS headings and filename convention • Global monitoring by NWP SAF (UK Met Office) and regional monitoring by operators • Websites implemented, being improved • 2010 Map

  21. New phase of the RARS project • CrIS, ATMS data from NPP and NPOESS-C1 • Bridging the gap until SafetyNet implemented and guaranteed timeliness of data acquisition and worldwide distribution • New aspects • X-Band stations • Channel selection/compression/ data sampling • Telecom bandwidth • Need to optimize network

  22. Requirements for X-RARS • From NPP commissioning onwards (End 2011 ?) • Timeliness: 30 min • Required products (still TBC) • Similar to global products • ATMS: all 24 channels, Temperature Data Records (L1c) • CrIS: channel selection and/or PCs, full res or sub-sampling • Format: BUFR (TBC) • Distribution: TBD (GTS, FTP, Eumetcast)
