Hydrology

• Collaboration with the German Federal Waterways Authority– 23.000 km of maritime

waterways– 7.500 km inland

waterways• Owner & maintainer of

the monitoring networks along the waterways~ 10.000 sensors distributed

over Germany

Hydrology

• SOS enhancement for providing water level data – Pegel online SOS

• Ongoing work to use SWE for all sensor related tasks

Common Problem

• Legacy and proprietary data formats in use

Summary

• Projects show applicability of SWE in various domains

• Meteorological phenomena have strong influence on other environmental phenomena– E.g. better weather forecasts allow better flooding

forecasts• Show applicability of SWE for meteorology• Enhance SWE standards with requirements

from the meteorological domain

MISSION PLANNING

Next Step into Meteorology Domain: Support Atmospheric Research Flights

Challenge: Support the planning of flight routes

• New German aircraft for atmospheric research• Modified Gulfstream business jet• Offers new possibilities with respect to flight

range, altitude, instrument payload
