The Use of Satellite Data in RA III
"WMO 2012 Survey on the Use of Satellite Data" - Preliminary results - Document will be made available publicly soon .
This is for all regions
Need for training in the use of satellite data
Data Access• Direct Readout a) Old Satellite Generation – Few countries like Brazil and Argentinab) New Satellite Generation – NPP and GOES-R, I guess also for
METOP (no user is ready)• FTPa) Nearly all countries – slow access to high resolution data,
only products. Need near real time data.(Nowcasting)• GeonetCasta) Growing - possible solution but need to have also raw
(1b) data, Data Requirement and sustainable dissemination system.
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Human Resources and Poor access are the primary limiting factor for use of, and benefit from satellite
data in most countries
Data requirements – A mechanism to approach data users and providers.
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
• February 2010 - WMO Workshop on Satellite Data Requirements for RA III and RA IV held in Brazil. The workshop was attended by Task Team members designated by Argentina, Brazil, the Caribbean Met. Organization, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, and Bahamas with participation of WMO, NOAA and EUMETSAT
• July 2010 - Establishment of a RA III - RA IV Requirements Coordination Web Page.
• March 2011 - the last update of the RA-III Satellite Data Requirements Table
• April 2011 - A progress meeting of the Satellite Data Requirements Task Team was held in Miami, USA, to review the status of the actions agreed at the first workshop and evaluate the process.
• December 2011 – WMO -ET-SUP6 - SATELLITE DATA ACCESS: REGIONAL REQUIREMENTS Procedure for Defining / Maintaining Regional Requirements for Satellite Data
• November 2012 – WMO – General Secretary: Regional task Team was successively concluded and nominated the Regional Coordination Group on Satellite Data Requirements
• April 2013 – First Meeting of the Regional Coordination Group on Satellite Data Requirements

Example of Data Requirements
52 different products are presently on the list (distributed in 3 Priority levels: P1; P2; and P3). All the products would require, at least, a 2.1Mbps data rate for broadcasting.
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
SATELLITE DATA REQUIREMENTS
• Dataset available in GEONETCast based in regional data requirements.
• The development of a set of satellite data requirements in each region requires interactions between data providers, product producers, the data users in interaction with the stakeholders and end users.
• Satellite data requirements reflect the needs of a Region. The needs depend on the climatological context and the regional socio-economic priorities.
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Training – Satellite Users
• Well organized in the Region.• Vlab : CoEs Argentina and Brazil• COMET• GEOSS
It is why applications is not a major problem in the region……..
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Proposed Training for 2013• An overview of upcoming training events to be organised by VLab partners was compiled and• partners were asked to further transfer their respective planning input into the VLab calendar.• Planned events will be further validated by the TSO for public view only when partners contact the• TSO to confirm the event tentative dates.

Training
USER PREPAREDNESS PLAN FOR THE TRANSITION TO THE NEW SATELLITE GENERATIONS
• Hands on – objective training on:• How to receive the data, how pre-process, what
software and stations, the satellite data will be available trough…., product visualization. The use of multichannel and products does not seem to be a great issue – right now!

NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Suggestion
Concentrated Effort Towards the Use of Satellite New Generation
• Regular virtual meetings with the region.• Participation of Vlab, Comet, Regional Focus Group, CoE, ……
Region presents the needs and doubts. Vendors Presentation of the proposal solutions Help to solve technical problems Specific Training Sections
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Suggestion
Important points that need Clarifications
• What will be the GOES-R position -> impact on the user timetable preparation
Considering that Geo – weather forecast and Leo – assimilationGOES-R is more important in easterly position – more population and users, severe events,…. • Will Geonetcast be an operational system that users can build
their operation based in this system?• Users will have pre-process software (raw to 1b) software available
for free ?
Vision for Satellite Utilization and Products for the Next Satellite Generation
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Extracted from: Luiz Machado and WMO SP Secretariat - Vision for Satellite Utilization and Products in 2025. ET-SUP6
USER COMMUNITY Primary users, two main groups of meteorological and environmental satellite users can be defined:
I. The users having direct readout, rather specialized users who are dealing with “raw data”
This first category of users, basically relying on Direct Broadcast transform raw data to level 1 (data calibrated and navigated) and assimilate this information in NWP models and/or produce some specialized products
II. The users who are mainly interested in receiving satellite products (the majority of users). This category of users, the one less specialized, can access satellite products from the Internet or by Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) dissemination services, which allows the reception of large amounts of products using low-cost receiving equipment.
Suggestions
• For the more specialized Users• Create the Satellite Partneri. Satellite Application Partners (SAP) – lightning, winds,
sounding, cloud classification, precipitation estimation…… ii. Satellite Validation Partners (SVP) – product validationiii. Satellite Archive and Dissemination Partners (SAP) – mirror
data access and historical data disseminationNo Budget – only label and collaboration - One way to South America contributes to the program.
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Suggestions
• For the users mainly interested in productsUsers feedback – monthly report describing good examples, problems, product evaluation, suggestions, …..
NOAA Satellite Conference for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users April 8-12, 2013
Suggestions
• Starts the concentrated effort in the use of NPP.• Definition about Geonetcast system.• Advertise the decisions about main data format and
products and the analysis and visualization system. • Training in the basic System.• Stimulate a new group in South American desk
dedicate to work with new satellite generation.• Improve communication between users and data
providers - Open Line for information exchange between user-data producers.
