  1. Bureau of Meteorology Update Anthony Rea National Manager Composite Operations (with kind assistance from Gary Dietachmeyer, Christopher Down and Kelvin Wong)

  2. Outline • External environment • Operations update • NWP update • RTH Melbourne update

  3. External Environment • Government investment in space • Formed a Space Policy Unit in Department of Industry, Innovation, Science and Research • Intention to formulate a Space Policy covering multiple areas including Earth Observations from Space • Tight budgetary position • Modest cutbacks

  4. Direct Reception • Geo network • Fixed antennae • Bureau-developed digital receiver and ingestor • L-band network • Tracking 2.4m antennae • Bureau-developed digital receiver and ingestor • X-band (dual-band) network • Tracking 2.4m antennae • ES&S proprietary receiver and ingestor

  5. Australian Institute of Marine Science WASTAC X/L-band (dual) Polar Geostationary L-band Polar

  6. Coverage from Bureau Receiving Stations

  7. Direct Reception Capability and Status • X-band network • Now in a mature phase • MODIS/AIRS product for forecasters • Real-time AIRS for NWP • Townsville X-band (AIMS) • Future plans • L-band • COMS reception plans • MetOp reception development and plans • Consolidation of GEO reception sites in medium term

  8. X-band Processing Chain Processing Machine (COTS) • Pre-packaged products • NASA algorithms • Black box Ingestor (COTS) B-machine (IMAPP) • HDF Products • Standard IMAPP algorithms • Web-based products • BUFR products • Customisable

  20. AIRS Temperature Profiles AIRS Temperature Profiles are derived for cloud free areas.

  21. AIRS Temperature Profiles Displays a thumb nail image from each point

  22. AIRS Temperature Profiles Clicking the thumb nail produces a high resolution profile

  23. AIRS Temperature Profiles RED – Temperature with error bars (typically +- 1 degree) GREEN – derived dew point temperature

  24. AIRS Radiosonde Validation Campaign Sonde launch sites Average differences for two stations Example sonde/AIRS comparison

  25. Real-time AIRS data for NWP • Australian contribution to IMAPP • Addition of AMSU to BUFR encoder • Excellent collaborative work by Zhihong Li (Bureau) and Nigel Atkinson (UKMO) • Real-time data available • 300-channel subset • BUFR format • Interoperable with global AIRS data • In real-time database now, impact experiment will commence soon, followed by operational use

  26. Challenges and Issues • Data backhaul is costly • Research network AARNET used for Perth and Hobart • Internet used for Townsville • Darwin is not possible with current network capacity • COTS Supplier • Ensuring they are ready for NPP, JPSS, Fengyun-3 and MetOp • Internal technical expertise • Maintaining a sustainable core of satellite engineering expertise

  27. Melbourne RTH Update • Improvement of MTN and regional circuits in RA V • Network migration of WMC Melbourne • WIS implementation • WIS components • WIS centres nominated in Australia • WIS Jump Start Visit • OpenWIS ET-OI Meeting 22-24 September 2010 27

  28. Continued improvement on MTN and regional circuits in RA V WMC Melbourne joined the RMDCN IP-VPN MPLS (operated by OBS) in Nov 2009 (Potentially connected to 16 RMDCN member states, 19 ECMWF member states and 11 cooperating states, a total of 46 members) Melbourne is connected to MTN centres in Tokyo, Exeter and Washington on the RMDCN Frame Relay circuits with Singapore and Jakarta also migrated to IPVPN MPLS (operated by SingTel) in Nov 2009 Frame Relay circuits to Nadi and Noumea remain due to the reluctance of Fiji and New Caledonia joining RA V IP-VPN ET-OI Meeting 22-24 September 2010 28
