Copernicus – Support for Weather Predictions
- sea-surface temperature over the Atlantic:
blue areas - coldest & red - warmest
- accuracy of a few tenths of a degree.
Source: ECMWF
The European Centre for Medium-Range
Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is a worldwide
leading international organisation that
develops and operates global models to predict
the behaviour of the atmosphere.
Every day, its powerful computing systems
assimilate in near real-time over 12 millions of
observation data from about 60 satellites and
from various ground networks.

Safer Seas
Safety and reliability:
• ice monitoring and forecasting
allows planning for safe and
efficient transportation routes
• 800 million tones of goods are
transported by ship every year
in the Baltic Sea, with 40%
transported during winter
Cost savings:
• icebreaker fuel consumption
reduced up to 50%
• transit times and costs reduced
up to 2000 € per ship/day
• decreased cost of living for
Northern communities

Where are the jellyfish?
Facts:
• In the Mediterranean region, 150 000 people
are treated for jellyfish stings each year
• In 2013, jelly fish blocked
a cooling water intake, prompting a Swedish
nuclear reactor to shutdown
• In 2007, jellyfish wiped out a salmon farm in
Northern Ireland killing 100 000 fish
Sentinel-3 is primarily an ocean mission that will
provide accurate and reliable measurements on:
• Sea-surface temperature
• Ocean colour
• Sea-surface height
• Ocean currents

Monitoring Construction Progress from Space
20th Football World Cup in Brazil
• timely and accurate
geospatial information to
monitor infrastructure
construction progress.
• This supports authorities
and civil engineers in
planning and managing
construction sites
(including sport stadiums).
The Estádio Nacional - Brasília during and after construction.
The construction process was tracked by the Pléiades satellite
constellation before the 9th FIFA Confederations Cup, an
international football tournament held from 15 to 30 June
2013.

R&E Support For ESA COPERNICUS
• R&E users are a significant target audience
• Tend to be regular, high-volume data consumers
• Are already served by a dedicated network infrastructure
“How Best to disseminate to R&E users
over the R&E networks?”
• The European R&E networking community is represented by GÉANT
• GÉANT maintains links to worldwide R&E networks
 Implement COPERNICUS dissemination via GÉANT

Case study: EUMETSAT
• EUMETSAT is the European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather,
climate and the environment.
• Operate a system of meteorological satellites that observe the atmosphere and
ocean and land surfaces – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• This data is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation's
Member and Cooperating States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide (USA,
Korea, Africa).

EUMETSAT Dissemination
• EUMETCAST
• Near-Real-Time data stream
• Via encrypted DVB-S2 broadcast to subscribers
• Challenge: Future years satellite NRT will begin to exceed available data rate
• Demonstration service with GÉANT,
network-based complement to EUMETCAST
• Leverages R&E network bandwidth and stability
• Designed to maintain the key EUMETCAST concepts
• Delivery as one-to-many-point PUSH streams, instead of user-initiated file
download
• The same subscriber channels and product categorisations
• Maps well to existing data processing and delivery chain

EUMETCast Terrestrial Footprint Overview
• Accessibility mainly within Europe to all Member States
• Prerequisite to accessibility is: eligibility to access the dissemination via
NREN
• Currently 8 sites are registered with the multicast stream and receive data
in near real-time in Europe and 3 sites overseas.
• Outreach to Asia - Korea
(KMA) via cooperation
between GEANT and our
Asian partner networks
• Outreach to USA (NOAA)
via cooperation - GEANT
and Internet2
• Outreach to Australia (NCI)
via cooperation GEANTTEIN and Asia-Pacific
partner networks
• Feasibility of outreach to
selected organisations
located in Africa planned
for 2016
