Dear
Reader,
The
Operational Newsletter
was first introduced in 1982, at the request of the Commission for Basic
Systems (CBS), with the objective of providing World Weather Watch Centres
with urgent notifications and a summary of the latest operational
information on the World Weather Watch and Marine Meteorological Services. In
December 2001 the CBS Management Group approved the electronic distribution
of the Newsletter thus
enabling operational centres to receive up-to-date information on a near
real-time basis.
This Newsletter is published at the end of each month and is disseminated
free
of charge through our on-line service.
Check our
home page for the most recent issue, alternatively, complete the subscription
form (if you havn’t already done so) and we will contact
you when it is made available.
We
hope that this Newsletter has been of service to you.
Should you feel that we did not meet with your requirements
please contact us.

|
|
Notification from EUMETSAT
|
|
The EUMETSAT Council has
approved the decision to disseminate through
the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) the following
data and products generated by the EUMETSAT METOP
satellite:
These
METOP data and products have been classified by EUMETSAT
as "Essential" data and products, in
accordance with WMO Resolution 40 (CG-XII) – no
licence is required for the acquisition of these
products and there are no conditions on their use.
|
As regards the subset of the IASI global products (level
1), the EUMETSAT Council would appreciate if WMO Members
using these products could provide feedback to EUMETSAT
on how these products are being used.
EUMETSAT
Member States consider the IASI global level 1 products
as the most valuable element of the METOP data and
products and hopes to gain further insight knowledge
regarding the use and application of these novel
products in order to learn about their scientific value.
All
METOP Data and Products will also be made available to
interested users through the EUMETCast service via
Hotbird,
EUMETSAT's principal dissemination mechanism.
The use of these
data and products is free of charge, in line with the
Data Policy for METOP Data and Products.
