GEONETCast OverviewGEONETCast is a good way to access earth
observation data…– Operational or project data dissemination– High data volumes are involved– Data timeliness and availability are important– A number of users could benefit from the
same data– Regular data extraction is required
(hourly,daily,weekly)– Data is needed in “low infrastructure” areas or
areas of no or limited network (e.g. Internet) availabilities
GEONETCast Overview
GEONETCast reception stations are– Self contained– Stand-alone– Include data discovery via offline version of
the “Product Navigator” ( link to training material!)
– Of the shelf very low cost systems
GEONETCast is linked to the EO-portal– Online data discovery and indication of data
availability via “near-real-time dissemination” on GEONETCast
Status of Work
• Global Coverage– NOAA’s GEONETCast Americas
acceptance is nearly finalised;– EUMETCast – FENGYUNCast data
exchange is operational;– Dissemination of exchanged data to
start this year;– Inclusion of Russia’s MITRA system to
be initiated at the technical level.
Status of Work (cont)
• Initial Operational Capability– Fully demonstrated at GEO IV in Cape
Town;– Implementation follows the Global Design
Concept and Implementation Plan;– Effort now focussed on moving from
demonstration to operations;– GEONETCast Network Centre Service &
Functional Specification being prepared.
Status of Work (cont)
• User & Data Provider Engagement– Each region working directly with its users
and data providers;– Coordinating with WMO IGDDS and WIS;– Working with providers such as SERVIR,
USEPA, RANET, JCOMM/GOOS, ECMWF, INPE, AMESD, CBERS;
– A number of EU projects in the approval process include use of GEONETCast – DevCoCast, AIDA, AEGOS.
GEONETCast Coordination
• Coordination with ADC activities– Registered as GEOSS Component– Registered as Data Access GEOSS Service– Participating in GEO Standards and Interoperability
Forum
• GEONETCastAmericas.noaa.gov• Web portal for GEONETCast Americas
• GEONETCast Product Navigator (EO-Portal)• http://www.eumetsat.int/products• Or on your GEONETCast station!!
Highlights
• GEONETCast is emerging as a key asset in making environmental data widely available to Users;
• The scope of data available on GEONETCast is being broadened significantly;
• In 2008, it is planned to present GEONETCast at:– African User Forum (Ghana)– African Association for Remote Sensing of the
Environment (Ghana)– GEO Plenary (Beijing)
