Data Collection or Production
Centres (DCPC)
• Centres that fulfill within specific WMO Programmes an international
responsibility for the generation and provision for international distribution
of data, forecast products, processed or value-added information, and/or for
providing archiving services, are referred to as Data Collection or
Production Centres. DCPCs can also provide basic WIS functions such as
metadata catalogues, Internet portals and data access
management. Examples of DCPCs are the Regional Specialised
Meteorological Centres (RSMC) with activity specialisation or geographic
specialisation, as well as the Regional Climate Centres. DCPC roles can be
summarised as follows:
• Collect information intended for dissemination to NCs within its area of
responsibility (i.e. regional collections)
• Collect special programme-related data and products;

Data Collection or Production
Centres (DCPC)
• Produce regional or specialised data and products;
• Provide information intended for global exchange to their responsible
GISC;
• Disseminate information not intended for global exchange;
• Support access to their products via WMO request/reply (”Pull”)
mechanisms in an appropriate manner;
• Describe their products according to an agreed WMO standard and provide
access to this catalogue of products and provide this information as
appropriate to other centres, in particular a GISC;
• Ensure that they have procedures and arrangements in place to provide swift
recovery or backup of their essential services in the event of an outage (due
to, for example, fire or a natural disaster);
• Participate in monitoring the performance of the system.
