  5. EUMETCast Multicast Configuration

  6. EUMETSAT Dissemination Services • Dissemination of EUMETSAT Meteosat and METOP data • Foreign Satellite Data (e.g. GOES) • Meteorological Products • DWDSAT • DCP • MDD (WMO Region 1) • BMD (WMO Region 6) • EARS • GEONETCast data • All those services make use of the EUMETCast framework

  7. EUMETCast • Generic, multi-mission dissemination system based on the standard DVB multicast technology and a combination of communication infrastructure • Independent of local (network) infrastructure at the reception side • Simultaneous product availability across the broadcast footprint • Closed-loop product and performance monitoring • High SLA of 99.50% with very rigid, guarantied and mission relatedtimeliness(e.g. 3m50sec MET8 image timeliness across EUMETCast footprint) (new return-ackn. will support resend to reach up to 99.99) • Scalable by usage of commercial telecommunication satellites (using a set of broadcast forward channels) • Allowing the usage of off-the shelf, commercial, inexpensive equipment for reception

  8. EUMETCast Communication System Integration • WMO and regional networks (GTS, RMDCN) • Private networks • IP-VPN networks • Internet • Broadcast (including encryption and mission oriented guarantied timeliness)

  9. EUMETCast Scalability • Already existing standards allow terrestrial link scalability for access to the uplink e.g. the OC-12 (622Mbps) • Migration to DVB-S2 which offers much improved encapsulation, coding, modulation; equipment already available to cater for sustained 138Mbps receipt of multicast data with one device on one receiving station • Typical transponders 32, 54, 72 Mbps • Missions can be spread across several transponders

  10. BMD as example for a non-imagery RA VI mission • From 1 September 2005 the RA VI Basic Meteorological Data (BMD) became operational for a two year pilot phase. • Service contains: • SYNOP, TEMP, PILOT, Warnings and Tropical Cyclone data: • Forecast data in GRIB format from ECMWF and DWD: • Charts of WAFS, Aerological Diagrams, basic meteorological field parameters and observations in graphical form. • Access to BMD is restricted to the WMO members (National Meteorological Services and partner organisations) of the WMO Regional Association VI.

  11. DWDSAT as example for a RA VI mission • DWDSAT is a service provided by DWD which carries a variety of meteorological data with restricted access to DWD authorised community. • Service contains: • SYNOP, TEMP, PILOT, Warnings and Tropical Cyclone data, Radar data etc. • Charts of WAFS, Diagrams, meteorological field parameters and observations in graphical and WMO formats • Access to DWDSAT is restricted in accordance with DWD regulations for this service. • EUMETCast is used as fully managed service. • A similar scheme could be applied for RA-VI EUMETCast GTS dissemination

  12. Procedure to become a EUMETCast Data Provider • - Specification to EUMETSAT: • Data (files) to be transmitted, with attributes • Size • Frequency (per hour, day, week, month …) • Time (hh:mm) of transmission • Timeliness requirements - Discussion/clarification with EUMETSAT of technical issues (like need for a segmentation of files for very large file sizes) - Test Phase: File transfers from Data Provider to Uplink Service Provider, transmissions via satellite, Reception Station handling - Request to the STG OPSWG for inclusion of this data into the EUMETCast services, subsequent endorsement by STG/Council - Inclusion into the operational EUMETCast schedule

  13. GEONETCast Overview GEONETCast

  14. GEONETCast Overview

  15. GEONETCast Coverage EUMETCast Europe (EUMETSAT) FENGYUNCast (CMA) EUMETCast and GEONETCast Americas (NOAA/EUMETSAT) EUMETCast Africa (EUMETSAT)

  16. When is EUMETCast usefull? • Same data with • data policy attached needs to be • securely and • routinely (continuous) transmitted • at the same time to at least • more than 5 destinations, in • a big geographic area • attached with a required timeliness and • service level, and the • number of destinations is expected to scale up and • no additional cost is expected per each new destination

  17. EUMETCast and WIS • All WMO specified DCPC-GISC interfaces are being implemented • EUMETCast as dissemination system for the RMDCN GTS component • EUMETCast Severe Weather warning dissemination
