Patrick BENICHOU
Bridging DPFS (Data Proc.
& Forecasting) and PWS
Added value process
 A general trend to get forecasters’ expertise in digital form (database
forecasting & related verification)
 A strong need for PWS / EWS to rely on human expertise as well
 A willingness to provide users with detailed forecasts at county level
A need to increase the number of products & users while
keeping staff at reasonable level
Hence concepts of « Forecast once Produce many »
 Met Editor (routine work)
 Awareness Map Editor (severe weather)
… as a bridge between Forecasting and PWS / EWS activities
Met Editor

CIPS : Central Information
& Processing System
What
 Real time DB (obs, radar, sat, NWP,
objects, …)
 Archiving system (easy access),
 Task scheduler (e.g. MOS),
 Data browser (high level access),
 High Performance Computing (e.g.
Cluster)
HPC
Scheduler & processing
suite
Why
 Get a comprehensive & open
Central Information System
 Enable NMS to manage data and
set up, test, schedule, run and
supervise all relevant central
operational tasks at HQ level

MFI main views
about WIS implementation
Few IT systems to be impacted within NMS Info
System
 AMSS (long term only)
 Central Information System (e.g. CIPS) : still need for national
data management
Some NMSs will have ability to act as DCPC
NMSs need to keep full authority on
 Data policy
 Their own National Info System
 PWS / EWS policy and related systems, incl. user access to data

(HQ, RCs)
• Pilot briefing
(Airports)
• WAN / VSAT-VPN
(all main centres)
Priority 2

MFI & WIS
summary
MFI Information System
 Comprehensive, proven, and scalable (HQ+RCs)
 Implemented in various configurations through Global projects
MeteoFactory®
 a key solution for PWS / EWS at HQ/regional levels
 Crucial in NMSs cost recovery policy whatever WIS implementation
modalities
MFI & WIS
 WIS « spirit » anticipated through MFI’s CIPS solution
 MFI supports NMS’ sovereignty and ability to set up data policies
MFI with NMSs (« with you for weather »)
 For short term
 For mid-term
full IS implementation
WIS compliance, be aware of time scales and let’s
have everybody on board…
Thanks to WMO for invitation and…
… see you around this week
and … in Geneva next year!
thank you
for your attention
