Eumetcast receiving station integration withinthe satellite image database interface (SAIDIN) system.
Within the tasks devoted to operational oceanography, Coastal Ocean
Observatory at Institut de Ciències del Mar (CSIC) has acquired an European Organisation
for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Broadcast
System for Environmental Data (EUMETCast reception system) to replace a satellite
direct broadcast system that receives data via High Resolution Picture Transmission
(HRPT). EUMETCast system can receive data based on standard Digital Video
Broadcasting (DVB) technology using commercial telecommunication geostationary
satellites with regular off-the-shelf satellite TV equipment and a PC and has
great advantages over a satellite direct broadcast system. A pilot project has started
to manage and integrate satellite data acquired through EUMETSAT’s Advanced
Retransmission Service (EARS)-AVHRR data stream with Satellite Image Database
INterface (SAIDIN), a tool developed 4 years ago to access, visualize and distribute
satellite data
