Reference Guide to the GTS Sub-system of the Argos Processing System - Revision 1.6

Published by: WMO, IOC ; 2005The original Argos processing system was designed and implemented primarily to support the Global Weather Experiment in 1978/79. The processing requirement for the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) of WMO was intended to facilitate rapid global dissemination of data in standard format from the observation platforms (initially drifting buoys and constant level balloons) to the responsible research centres evaluating the observing systems. By the end of the 1980's, however, the diversity of users had expanded dramatically and it was apparent that the overall processing system was not well matched to the needs of either operational or research users of the Argos system. The DBCP and CLS/Service Argos together decided, therefore, to undertake the design and implementation of a new sub-system within the overall Argos processing system, specifically for the management of data destined for operational distribution over the GTS.
