Support to GDWG Activities Collaboration Servers closer to realisation For all collaboration servers, EUMETSAT has developed a tool to automate the generation of the configuration scripts and files to create GSICS product directories and configure THREDDS to detect and serve these products to the user community. Support to the serving of KMA GEOLEOIR products from the EUMETSAT GSICS server. Provided input to the distribution of the GIRO and GLOD to users. Developing a software framework to simplify the generation of GSICS products; development has stalled due to lack of resources.

Support to GRWG Activities GSICS IR: Chairing IR Sub-Group Started generating GEO-LEO IR products for Meteosat-11/SEVIRI GSICS VNIR: Lunar Calibration Workshop  See # 7a Definition of a benchmark for the GIRO to support verification/validation against the ROLO + comparisons with alternative models/other implementations (see # 8i) Hosted two visiting scientists to work on lunar inter-calibration GIRO and GLOD: JMA, USGS, KMA, JAXA, CNES, ESA signed the agreement (to date)  distribution of the GIRO started. GLOD needs to be consolidated but will follow… USC coordinate knowledge exchanges between GSICS and Fiduceo towards a common calibration event logging infrastructure UV Chairing UV Sub-Group White paper on Ground-based Characterisation of UV-Vis-NIR-SWIR spectrometers in preparation
