Training Workshop for Day 1

The first day of the WIS 2.0 Training Workshop in Nairobi will begin with a focus on understanding the national observation networks and IT infrastructure of the participating countries. This first part serves to provide a comprehensive overview of the current capabilities and facilities available in the participants’ countries.

The first day will introduce WIS 2.0, providing a foundational understanding of its architecture, key concepts, and the role of its components. Participants will learn about the core components of WIS 2.0, including the Global Cache, Global Broker, Global Discovery Catalogue, and the protocols that support data sharing.

The session will also outline the implementation plan for WIS 2.0, providing insights into the practical steps for deploying and integrating the system within national frameworks, as well as the provisions for the transition from GTS/WIS1 to WIS 2.0.

Finally, WMO trainers will showcase the WIS 2.0 Global Services to complement the training.
