Rencontre Mercator -Météo-France, Toulouse, 14 Juin 2010 EUMETSAT EUMETSAT, intergovernmental organisation created in 1986, is the European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, climate and environment. EUMETSAT operates a system of meteorological satellites monitoring the atmosphere and ocean and land surfaces which deliver weather and climate-related satellite data, images and products – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This information is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation's 21 Member and nine Cooperating States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide. The SAFs The SAFs (Satellite application Facility) were created by EUMETSAT in order to enrich its ground segment and to take benefit from the local expertize of its member states. There are now 8 SAFs : SAF on Support to Nowcasting and Very Short Range Forecasting Ocean and Sea Ice SAF Climate Monitoring SAF Numerical Weather Prediction SAF Land Surface Analysis SAF Ozone and Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring SAF GRAS Meteorology SAF SAF on Support to Operational Hydrology and Water Management

Co-operating institutes The OSI SAF The OSI SAF was created in 1997 as an answer to requirements from the meteorological communities of EUMETSAT Member States and Co-operating States for a comprehensive information derived from meteorological satellites at the ocean-atmosphere interface. Since, the oceanographic community needs have been also taken into account.

L’accès aux produits repose à la fois : sur des serveur FTP locaux, associés à des interfaces spécifiques permettant de traiter des champs à haute résolution, plutôt à destination de la communauté océanographique et en NetCDF - et sur EUMETCAST et EUMETSAT Data Center (ex UMARF),plutot pour les produits « grillés », en GRIB et BUFR, à destination de la communauté météorologique cet est libre et gratuit, mais il n’y a pas toujours suffisamment de retour d’information des usagers.
