Delivery Mechanisms – Archive

• Long-term data preservation is a key concern for EUMETSAT considering its convention and objectives.

• The EUMETSAT funding approach via long-term programmes and ‘inheritance’ of archive from one programme to the next ensures the long-term preservation of the EUMETSAT data and products.

• Multi-mission infrastructure and operations established, maintained, and planned to be evolved in support to existing and future missions:– legacy archive of Meteosat since 1981; developing archives for

Metop and Jason-2– support to previous and future reprocessing campaigns and

climate monitoring international initiatives.
