ISCS Broadcast Product Baseline



Description Product Baseline
 

The International Satellite Communication System (ISCS) Broadcast Product Baseline is the listing of products approved for broadcast over the ISCS satellite network, and reflects the state of the NWS Telecommunications Gateway (NWSTG) ISCS switching directory supporting the broadcast service. The listing is provided in both a Comma Separated Variable (CSV) text format and in Microsoft Excel 97-2003 workbook format to accommodate a variety of uses and platforms. The current and the immediately preceding Broadcast Product Baselines are provided for review or download.

The ISCS Broadcast Product Baseline is based on the requirements of: (1) the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Regional Association IV (RA-IV) Regional Meteorological Telecommunications Network (RMTN), as presented in the WMO Manual on the Global Telecommunication System (GTS), WMO No. 386; and (2) the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as presented in ICAO Annex 3 Meteorological Services for International Air Navigation, and documented in the ISCS User Guide and Annexes listed on the ISCS Documents Web Page.

The ISCS Broadcast Product Baseline is managed by the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) ISCS Program Office. All proposed modifications should be identified through the respective State's Permanent Representatives, or their designees, to the action focal points listed below. Proposed changes which have been properly document on the NWS Request for Change (RC) form and received by the NWS ISCS Program Office for processing, are available for review on the ISCS DGR Web Page.
