Space weather
In 2018 CGMS expanded the scope of its activities to include Space Weather. The coordination of Space Waether activities is pursued from an end-to-end perspective, between operators of space weather sensors on satellites, through space weather service providers and onto end-user communities, including the satellite operations community. CGMS works in the following areas: The coordination […]

GSICS
Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) have implemented a Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS), which is intended to establish a consistent calibration of satellite measurements from different instruments operated by different satellite agencies and to tie these measurements to absolute references. Accurate calibration of […]
SCOPE-CM
Sustained, Co-Ordinated Processing of Environmental Satellite Data for Climate Monitoring (SCOPE-CM): The Sustained and Coordinated Processing of Environmental Satellite Data for Climate Monitoring (SCOPE-CM) group’s primary goal is to ensure international coordination and production of satellite-derived Climate Data Records (CDRs) in response to Global Climate Observing System (Global Climate Observing System | World Meteorological Organization […]
