====== Madis ======

===== Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System =====

http://madis.noaa.gov/

MADIS runs operationally in real-time in the [[/glossaire/NWS|National Weather Service (NWS)]] with a distributed architecture consisting of ingest and distribution services at the [[/glossaire/TOC|Telecommunications Operations Center (TOC)]] with processing performed at the [[/glossaire/NCEP|National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Central Operations (NCO)]]. MADIS also runs quasi-operationally in a research test environment at ESRL/GSD, where new advances are developed and tested prior to being put into operations. The ESRL/GSD system also has an archive of saved real-time data, and serves as the backup to the operational system.
