Outline 1. Introduction 2. Ground Satellite receivers operated by RA- V member countries 3. Common Major applications of satellite data in RA-V 4. Important point and Future expectations of RA-V. 1 Utilization of Geostationary and Polar Orbiting Satellite Data in RA-V Region (Present Status) Dr. Sri Woro B. Harijono

I) Introduction Introduce inherent characteristic of regional condition: Tropical maritime continent type; Vulnerable to climate variability; and limited in resources. Indispensable need: Warning Center to anticipate the various significant weather and climate variability event. A survey (e.g. questionnaires and communication) was conducted among 22 member countries.  Not all countries responded in time. 2

IV) Future expectations from RA-V: 1. Polar Orbiting Satellite Products: – Extension of areal coverage of satellite’s scatterometer and higher spatial and temporal resolution of polar satellite. – Increasing the resolution of wind velocity products at ocean surface. – Increasing the capabilities of satellite products to be able to identify local convection processes (leading to Hurricane & Tornado) through RPS (Radar-Polarimetric Satellite) – Increasing the capability of satellite system to monitor tropical air sea interaction processes, a main driving force of tropical cyclone and extreme weather over coastal zone, the frequent weather phenomena in RAV region 11

Future expectations (continued...) 2. Geostationary imagery products : - Requires an increase of image frequency & image resolution and Low- light visible imagery. - Southern hemisphere countries are adversely impacted when GOES images cut off when northern hemisphere rapid scan is occurring. 3. Capacity Building – Technical support for RA-V members capacity building on satellite data Acquisition – Processing – Analysis/ Interpretation  useful. 12

4. We hope to have a continuation of: – Data Collection Platforms (DCPs) utilization for data communication from remote sites of member countries. – Direct broadcast of Hi-Res satellite data with current / minor upgrade of existing receiving systems when possible. – Assistances for upgrading equipments for small island developing states (SIDS : Tonga, Samoa, Cook Island, Kiribati, Vanuatu, Nieu, Micronesia, Marshall Is, Solomon Is, Tuvalu), and other developing countries (Fiji, Palau, Philippines). 5. Compatibly and more affordable of new version satellite to the existing ground receiver. 14 Cont…

Thank you for considering: user readiness Step by step basis for Developing Countries  Need longer lead time to either secure internal funding or donor funding to support these investment. Some preparation have to be done (2-3 years)  Submit proposal to their government  Allocate budget for : Purchasing the completely new receiving system Capacity building purposes  Conduct training : processing – analysis – interpretation 15

Thank You … 16
