SCOPE-CM
SCOPE CM Logo
SCOPE-CM (Sustained and COordinated Processing of Environmental satellite data for Climate Monitoring) is a network of agencies and operators of environmental satellite systems and interfaces with WMO, WCRP, GCOS, CGMS, CEOS and GEO. It offers its support to coordinate and facilitate international activities to generate CDR from multi-agency satellite data.
Within SCOPE-CM, the contributing organisations coordinate their scientific and technical development activities, and cooperate on the basis of shared and distributed responsibilities for the generation of global products.
The SCOPE-CM network was established in November 2008. The participating organisations include the operators of operational satellites: EUMETSAT, China Meteorological Administration, Japanese Meteorological Agency and NOAA.
SCOPE-CM Projects
Dedicated SCOPE-CM projects are conducted by international consortia and aim to bring specific CDR capabilities to a sustainable level. The main focus is on Climate Data Records (CDR) capabilities that explicitly benefit from multi-national and inter-organisational coordination and cooperation among the participating organisations and agencies.
