Abstract
Meteo-France portals, based on the OpenWIS software and coupled with the existing systems, perform the three functions required by the WMO Information System.
All three functions contribute to the circulation of priority data, system wide security, monitoring and implementation of WMO data policies. GISCs and DCPCs allow the Discovery Access and Retrieval of data, products and services offered by WIS Centres, but GISCs offer a global view of this information and provide distributed and resilient access to critical data and product.
