| ILM | | | | | | The German Meteorological Service (DWD) operates some 160 main MEteoDEA E100 weather stations and a further 800 AMDA III secondary weather stations. It is important that the registration, transfer and preparation of data, and also the generation of reports and products takes place under a uniform control and processing system with a standard user interface. To meet this requirement, Ernst Basler + Partner has developed ILM information logistics for measurement networks.
This consists of a distributed system which administers the DWD weather stations, receives the alarm reports, and pre-processes measurement data, generates reports such as SYNOP (FM 12) or BUFR (FM 94) and passes these on, or stores them in a suitable form. The measurement data from about 1000 meteorological stations is processed within only a few minutes, so that the international distribution of meteorological measurements to the WMO can take place punctually.
Software systems which have already been used successfully have been integrated in the communication flow. The newly developed sub-systems are largely autonomous and because they are not dependent on the hardware and platform they can easily be integrated in other architectures.
In order to improve failure prevention, many of the systems are operated in duplicate at a second location. These secondary systems are synchronised with the primary set-up, and if there is a disturbance in one of the primary systems, the processing tasks are taken on at the secondary location without delay. In this way an overall availability of 99.95% per quarter can be achieved.
