IGDDS Background: IGDDS Background: Space Programme Implementation Plan Space Programme Implementation Plan 2004-2007, endorsed by WMO EC 562004-2007, endorsed by WMO EC 56
“Access to satellite data and products (…) would be through a composite system consisting of Direct Broadcast (DB) and Advanced Dissemination Methods (ADM) […] ADM would be the baseline
“ADM will allow seamless inclusion of data/products from LEO and GEO operational and R&D environmental satellites”
“In order to ensure [an optimized] dissemination system (..) it is appropriate to consider (..) an IGDDS which builds on this ADM concept
IGDDS is central to the (..) integrated space-based GOS [to access] the complete range of [its] data and products

new IGDDS into the GTS / WIS …”
Task WE-06-04: “support the development of ADMs as part of an operational IGDDS, as a component of the WIS and a contribution to GEO-Netcast”

IGDDS : satellite data & products circulation scheme to meet the needs of WMO Programmes for improved access as agreed in WMO Space Programme Implementation Plan
IGDDS Baseline – Integrates all satellite-related data fluxes– Global exchange of satellite data among regional centres– Dissemination relying on ADM and Direct Broadcast
• ADM mainly via Digital Video Broadcast by telecom satellite• cost-efficient for end-users and for operators
– fully integrated within the WMO Information System (WIS)

Data acquisition activities:Data acquisition activities:RARS for timely access to polar dataRARS for timely access to polar data
EARS (Eumetsat) covers Europe, N-America and North Pole– expanding to include new data (AVHRR, ASCAT from METOP)– distribution via GTS and DVB-satellite broadcast
Plan for Asia-Pacific RARS (distribution via GTS and Internet/FTP) Plan for South-America RARS (distribution via GTS and
Internet/FTP)
Regional ATOVS Retransmission Services (RARS) complement the baseline ground segments of polar satellites:
Data acquired by several local receiving stations are concentrated, processed and redistributed for regional and global NWP users
Timeliness= 30 minutes instead of 2-3 hours for global data.

Global ADM coverage possible with at least 4 “regional” dissemination services to be established by satellite operators
or consortia including satellite operators critical need for Asia-Pacific region
Sat operators to take responsibility for ADM dissemination services over regions consistent with the location of their primary users (e.g. footprint of their GEO satellites )
Target date : January 2007
Dissemination concept reviewed at ET-SUP, CGMS, RARS-ADM workshop, and reported at CM-6 (Jan. 2006)
