2004 Satellite Direct Readout Conference, Miami, 06 December 2004 Ken Ashworth Slide: 9
IJPS PartnershipThe Initial Joint Polar System Partnership:
• EPS comprises 2 Metop satellites, POES NOAA N & N´• EUMETSAT provides dedicated mid-morning orbit sounder• NOAA N/N’ & Metop share common instruments: AVHRR,
HIRS, MHS, AMSU-A, SEM, ARGOS, S&R
• Mission Data Exchange• Cross support for blind orbits • Mutual support in case of contingency• Support in the development of products
2004 Satellite Direct Readout Conference, Miami, 06 December 2004 Ken Ashworth Slide: 10
Future Joint Polar System Partnership
Joint Transition Activity Agreement
• signed in June 2003 • covers NOAA delivery of US instruments for Metop-3
and exchange of Metop-3/NPOESS data • Future activities leading to a Joint Polar System 2018+
timeframe• amendment being signed to cover mutually agreed
NOAA-N’ recovery strategy

EUMETSAT Support to NOAA
EUMETSAT supported NOAA in the relevant NOAA N’ recovery options:
• Cooperative agreement obtained with NOAA on mutual recovery strategy - cost neutral
• MHS FM2, had initial nominal functionality, EUMETSAT to conduct re-acceptance tests on MHS FM2, delivery to NOAA November 2005
• funding approval obtained at EUMETSAT Council 56 03Dec2004
• NOAA to provide flight ready AVHRR, AMSU-A for Metop-3, supporting/ maintaining AMSU-A from 2010 to mid 2015

EUMETSAT Services: EARS
10 Stations operational since December 2003.
Effectively a “SafetyNet” ™ type approach at a regional level
The ATOVS retransmission service:• Acquisition of local ATOVS data
from the NOAA satellites• Pre-processing of the data and dissemination of the raw and pre-processed data via EUMETSAT to the users
Dissemination is via EUMETCast, which now also offers MSG data at Ku band in Europe

Jason-2 ProgrammeLaunch April 2008
EUMETSAT one of four partners with CNES, NASA, NOAA.
EUMETSAT role is the European Operational Agency. EUMETSAT will operate an Earth Terminal, receive data, and disseminate real time data.EUMETSAT Programme came into force on 27 June 2003, Thus all EUMETSAT funding now guaranteed.
