3. Korea Meteorological Administration 3 1. Background There is no data utilization without data exchange same infrastructure – multi user interfaces based on user requirements There is no data utilization without data exchange same infrastructure – multi user interfaces based on user requirements Korean Government is preparing the law for national standard of weather observations KMA is a designated Koreas Secretariat for GEO WIS is the important component of GEOSS as data exchange and dissemination systems KMA needs WIS functionality to integrate national observations as National GEOSS operation center User requirement for sharing weather observation is increasing – national system for sharing weather information KMA is a member of National GRID and e-Science projects, High Performance Network project as advanced application user KMA is supporting WAMIS as WIS pilot project For the operation of Global Model, KMA needs more data

4. Korea Meteorological Administration 4 2. K-GEO - Governance National Strategic Committee for responding to GEOSS Consisting of high level officials of relevant ministries and administrations including MOST, MOCT, MOE, MOMAF and KMA Devising and assessing the Korea GEOSS strategic plan, implementation plan and R&D policy, and support the GEOSS activities Interagency Working Group on GEOSS Establishment under the National Strategic Committee Consisting of officials and experts from relevant organizations Reviewing the short- and long-term implementation results and taking the improved measures The Republic of Koreas Secretariat for GEO Play a role of contact point with the GEO Secretariat Carry out the administrative and technical business K-GEO

5. Korea Meteorological Administration 5 Development and Implementation of the Korea Integrated Earth Observation System Establish a National GEOSS Operation Center to exchange and integrate the internal and external data and information, based on high performance computing and technologies Establish Data Archive Centers, Data Assembly Centers and Modeling Centers in accordance with fields, as necessary Set up Interoperability, Standards and Protocols as observational infrastructure K-GEO
