Hoi Ben,
Deze info heb ik uit een document van de American Meteorological Society:
"In early January, 1995, A letter jointly signed by the Chair of the EUMETSAT Council and the Director was sent to the SG and directly to PRs of all WMO Member States. The purpose of the letter was to clarify EUMETSAT’s position with regard to data policy. The letter indicated the policy would go into effect on 1 September 95 and principally effect the access to High Resolution Imagery at a frequency of greater than once every six hours. While the 3 hourly data would be encrypted it would be free to all
NMSs. High Resolution data on a frequency of hourly and half hourly would be subject to a graduated fee for countries with a GNP per capita above 2000 US dollars. EUMETSAT justified their policy so as (1) to enlist other European Met Services to become EUMETSAT members (Greece, Turkey and Portugal were at present getting the data without benefit of membership) and (2) to provide a mechanism for private sector companies to contribute to the infrastructure. Again, was this another European tactic to solve a national and regional problem (i.e. Turkey, Greece, and Portugal membership) through a global mechanism? Secondly, Was there a crack appearing in the armor of WMO with 3 or 4 Members (e.g. USA, Japan, Russia, China) providing the major part of the geostationary space based observing with
out any fee or restriction, and one group of countries providing 20 % of the system under an encrypted fee based system?".
Ik mag aannemen dat deze informatie correct is.
GMS is nu trouwens vervangen door GOES-9, of niet?
De data van de nieuwe Japanse satelliet, MTSAT-1R, is volgens mij niet gecodeerd, maar dat weet ik niet zeker. Zie http://mscweb.kishou.go.jp/operation/index.htm, ken je deze link?
Groet,
Alwin
