Introduction To EUMETSAT

The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, EUMETSAT, is an intergovernmental organisation, established in 1986 and is headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany.

EUMETSAT is funded by the National Meteorological Services of its Member States to deliver operational satellite data and products that satisfy the meteorological and climate data requirements of the Member States – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through decades. This is carried out taking into account the recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

EUMETSAT’s primary objective is “to establish, maintain and exploit European systems of operational meteorological satellites.”

A further objective is “to contribute to the operational monitoring of the climate and the detection of global climatic changes.”

Slide: 3

EUMETSAT Missions

EUMETSAT operates and processes and disseminates data from: First generation Meteosat geostationary satellites (Meteosat-7), Second generation Meteosat geostationary satellites (Meteosat-8, 9), Polar-orbiting Metop satellites (Metop-A). Ocean Surface Topography Mission (Jason-2).

EUMETSAT also routinely acquires, processes and disseminates data from:

NOAA polar-orbiting satellites (NOAA-19).

EUMETSAT Data Access Principle

•  EUMETSAT aims to promote the availability and use of near real-time and archived data for wider global user community

•  This is achieved through the provision of: •  an online catalogue using interoperable standards •  a single entry point for service registration •  freely available web imagery for quick looks and the lay user audience •  delivery mechanisms using commercially available reception station

equipment, and •  the use of agreed standard data formats (WMO standards & community-

specific de-facto standards)

•  Use of international standards in data discovery and access allows for easier data exchange with other satellite operators and data providers

Slide: 9

Earth Observation Portal (EOP)

•  Provides EUMETSAT users with a single point of online access to all EUMETSAT data and dissemination services.

•  This allows users to discover, search, order and subscribe to operational services: •  Product Navigator – since Nov 2008 •  EOP User Management – single sign-on registration service – Jan 2010

•  Uses internationally recognised standards (ISO & OGC) and complying with the INSPIRE EU directive

•  Main component is the EOP Clearinghouse which provides OGC, INSPIRE and EUMETSAT interfaces and enables communication with legacy systems and external partners.

EOP Usage: over 6000 registered EOP Users; over 300 unique users of the Product Navigator & User Management components are recorded per day.

Content of Data Archive

• For all instruments the following data is stored (near-line) in the Data Centre:

Level 0 + auxilliary files Level 1 + auxilliary files Level 2 (in case of SAF’s, only metadata)

• Ancillary Data are stored in a dedicated environment outside the Archive • Documentation (e.g. Mission architecture, data/ products description, validation reports) is stored and archived in Document Management System

• Reports (CAL/VAL) are stored in a dedicated environment outside the Archive

LTDP European Framework contribution and participation

• EUMETSAT’s LTDP policy is to a very large extent coherent with the European LTDP Common Guidelines • As an operational entity EUMETSAT has an established user community and is guided by the recommendations of the users and the WMO • EUMETSAT supported the review of the LTDP documents and provided feedback/ input • EUMETSAT is interested in staying involved with the European LTDP and continuing the support provided to the LTDP, e.g. in the GSCB context
