Support to GDWG Activities v Collaboration Servers closer to realisation § For all collaboration servers, EUMETSAT has developed a tool to automate the generation of the configuration scripts and files to create GSICS product directories and configure THREDDS to detect and serve these products to the user community. § Support to the serving of KMA GEOLEOIR products from the EUMETSAT GSICS server. v Provided input to the distribution of the GIRO and GLOD to users. v Developing a software framework to simplify the generation of GSICS products; development has stalled due to lack of resources.
