欧洲气象卫星开发机构开始采用风云3B气象卫星的数据

欧洲气象卫星开发机构（European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, EUMETSAT，http://www.eumetsat.int/）于1月20日公布，从1月24日开始，将风云3B气象卫星的数据加入其气象卫星数据发布网络。从2010年下半年起，该组织已经开始向欧洲用户发布风云3A卫星的数据了，而在2011年5月，该组织与中国气象局（CMA，http://www.cma.gov.cn/）达成一致，将风云3B卫星也加入其网络。

风云3B卫星于2010年11月发射，此后在轨测试了6个月后，中国气象局才让其开始工作。EUMETSAT则在2011年12月中旬开始对这枚卫星发回的数据进行了一个月的观测和测试，确认无误后将卫星数据向其会员国（共31国）发布。

欧洲用户将通过位于瑞典北部的一个地面接收站接收风云3B的信号。EUMETSAT同时称中国正在建立一个面向亚太地区的区域性气象卫星数据发布网络，与该组织的网络类似，将在2012年晚些时候投入应用。

Eumetsat To Distribute Chinese Weather Sat Data

    Data from China’s polar-orbiting FY-3B meteorological satellite will be distributed by Europe’s Eumetsat meteorological satellite organization beginning Jan. 24 as part of the EumetCast broadcast network, Eumetsat announced Jan. 20.

    Darmstadt, Germany-based Eumetsat has been distributing microwave humidity and temperature data from the FY-3A spacecraft since late 2010. Eumetsat and the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) agreed in May 2011 to add the same data from FY-3B.

    FY-3B was launched in November 2010 and spent six months in testing before being declared operational by CMA.

    Eumetsat has been conducting its own tests of the FY-3B data since mid-December to assure its accuracy before beginning regular transmission to Eumetsat’s member nations.

    Data from the Chinese spacecraft are transmitted to a satellite data-reception facility in northern Sweden, or in China. The Chinese data are similar to what is available from Eumetsat’s own Metop-A polar-orbiting meteorological satellite.

    Users in the Asia-Pacific region also will be receiving the Chinese satellite data from CMA’s own dissemination network, which resembles Eumetsat’s EumetCast and will be operational later in 2012, Eumetsat said.
