A quick introduction to the Met Office
Everyday .... 100 million (around 300 GB) observations Operational Models produce 4 TB of products Climate Research produce 52 TB of data Of that around 155 GB goes to Visual Weather servers

Future Challenges
•New Cray Supercomputers fully operational by Winter 2017 •Improvements to NWP (by end of 2018)
• GM to around 10-12KM; 120 or 140 vertical levels • UKV to 1KM with hourly runs to T+54 (2 runs per day to T+120) 120 or 140 vertical levels over an expanded domain
• Data volumes will be massive • By April 2017 estimate an 4-fold increase in data volumes to 24 Terabytes from operational models! (~ 407 Blurays per day!!) • Of this 11 Terabytes will be MOGREPs-UK (currently 0.88TB)
THE ONLY SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT IS WMS !!
