Products and applications
• Best practices on product quality (e.g. « maturity matrix »)– Algorithm validation, documentation, software maintenance,
availability, quality assurance, data stewardship…
• Collaborative product development/generation– SCOPE-Climate Monitoring– SCOPE-Nowcasting and SWFDP– RGB composite imagery – Volcanic ash detection ?
• Important role of international science groups– Sounding (ITWG), Winds (IWWG), Radio-occultation (IROWG),
Precipitation (IPWG)

Facilitating access to data and products« IGDDS strategy »
• CBS-15 Procedure to define regional data access requirements– RA-I, RA-III/IV, RA-V… (acknowledging NAEDEX/APSDEU for NWP)
• Promote multi-mission DVB-S retransmission services– e.g. EUMETCast, CMACast, with « regional » contents– Issue with coverage of America and Pacific
• Promote Direct Broadcast standards for LEO– CBS-XV recommended X-Band + L-Band for future LEO– Regional ATOVS Retransmission System (RARS) for
near-real time sounding data for NWP
• WIS metadata standards for data discovery and retrieval• « Access Guides » on http://www.wmo.int/sat
– Data Access Guide (will be transferred to OSCAR)– Product Access Guide

RARS expansion to advanced soundersWay forward defined at ITSC-18
i. Implement /upgrade for Metop and for NPP receiving stations
ii. Implement adequate servers (computing power at each station)
iii. Install CSPP and AAPP
iv. Organize the telecommunications at the regional level – taking into account station locations, GTS hubs, and bandwidth
– Concentration by FTP and dissemination by xxxCast ?
v. Start with retransmission of Metop/ATOVS products
vi. Define filenames and/or bulletin headers for the new products
vii. Proceed with Metop/IASI and NPP products retransmission– Channel selection and/or Principal Components ?– With/without overlap among stations ?
viii. Inform and seek feedback from NWP community

Conclusions: key messages
• CBS recommended review process for sat data access requirements
• CBS recommended user readiness projects for new sat generations
• OSCAR resource now available (Feedback?)
• GSICS resource now available
• RARS / advanced sounders:
– open questions to NAEDEX/APSDEU
• Direct Broadcast dissemination– Frequency & standard issues
• Regional retransmission systems (xxxCast)
– Coverage and content to be further consolidated
