Enhancing the space-based GOS
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)
First APT reception from Tiros-8 in Lannion, France, 24 Dec 63
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

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 become DCPC, 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..)

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
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
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)

• A comprehensive observing system satisfying the evolving observing requirements of WMO Membersin a cost-effective and sustained manner
• Objective : Enhanced integration of WMO observing systems and Enhanced coordination with partner observing systems
Key requirements Interoperability through data sharing and standardizationQuality management (Traceability, quality assurance, user focus,
documentation, capacity building, monitoring/improvement…) Optimization (Coordinated planning, platform opportunities, innovation..)
