12. Data distribution system (area 1)
IGDDS: Integrated Global Data Dissemination Service
The WMO project ensuring that satellite data and products are made available worldwide in a timely and cost-efficient manner, within the WMO Information System
Aims at end-to-end performances involving the following functions :
Data acquisition
Data dissemination (PUSH) mainly through DVB-S
Data access (PULL)
Data and user management
22/09/2018

13. Advantages of DVB-S for data dissemination
Commercially available, low cost and easy-to-operate user receiving devices
One-stop shop : integrated system for all data sources
Scalable in adapting bandwidth to data content
No need for meteorological frequency allocation
IP over DVB standard coding
Use of standard formats (XRIT, BUFR, HDF, GRIB, ….)
Secure access control at individual file and User level
Courtesy of EUMETSAT
Coupled with Internet to provide a two-way system
