KMA’s approach

One DCPC gateway for one external system Metadata synchronisation Burden on the gateway

Direct or indirect incorporation Data sets vs. Protocol

Manual metadata generation Ownership

Future Plan

Provide GPC Seoul (KMA) data sets using K-WIS Global Producing Centre (GPC) for Long-range

Forecasting Melbourne, Montreal, Beijing, Toulouse, Tokyo,

Washington, Exeter and ECMWF
