A new version of the WMO Space-based Observing System Capability Analysis and Review tool (OSCAR/Space v2.0) is now available (http://oscar.wmo.int/space).
It provides a wide range of information on satellite programmes, instruments, and the variables they can observe in the areas of weather, water, climate, the Earth’s environment, and space weather.
OSCAR/Space v2.0 features powerful search functions and gap analyses, by variables and mission types, for users in meteorological and other services,
academia, satellite agencies, and for the WMO Rolling Review of Requirements. Users feedback on this new version is welcome and can be provided through sat-help-desk@wmo.int.
There are currently some 1100 users per day.
