Day 4: Thursday – WIS2 Node implementation

The fourth day will focusing on how to consume data on WIS2, how to setup a WIS2 Node and how GISC supports WIS2 Operations.

The morning sessions cover explore data discovery and subscription workflows, learning how to find, access, and download datasets as end-users. Following this we will look at WIS2 Node implementation fundamentals, including networking, security, maintenance, and the registration process with WMO’s global infrastructure. 

In the afternoon, the focus shifts to planning: participants will draft their own WIS2 implementation plans with guidance from experts, preparing for Friday’s discussions. This day bridges theory and practice, equipping teams to operationalize WIS 2.0 in their national contexts.
