Operational Needs
This service contributes to fulfilling operational needs as defined in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373 and ICAO Annex 3. It supports the EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One.
Information Exchange Requirements
IER 1 - The information currently included in the SIGMET as defined in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373, ICAO Annex 3 Amendment 82 and PANS-MET.
Capabilities
The service provides high quality, up-to-date, trusted, regulated meteorological information in digital form for use by service consumers within the aviation domain.
Distribute Data
The service distributes the data when they are available.
Information has been shared; the service consumer receives the requested data.
Request Data
The service consumer is able to request data from the service using an OGC EDR endpoint.
Information has been shared; the service consumer gets the requested data.
Subscribe to Data
The service consumer is able to subscribe to data via AMQP by contacting IMO contact point.
Subscription has been established, consumer will receive data matching the subscription.
-
Time BehaviourUnder normal operations 90% of messages will be delivered within 10 minutes after the issuing time.
-
CapacitySubscriptions are managed with consideration of the capacity of the technical infrastructure. Each connection is rate and connection limited to avoid overload of the system.
-
AvailabilityThe expected availability of the system is 98% of continuous runtime per year. OS patching, kernel updates, and hardware upgrades will require scheduled downtime where the service is unavailable.
-
RecoverabilityRegular backups or snapshots of the installation have been set up. In the event of hardware failure, service restoration relies on hardware replacement and system restarts.
-
IntegrityIntegrity is protected by using TLS layer for all the service interface bindings. However the Message Security based on S/MIME 4.0 proposed in SWIM TI Yellow Profile 2.0 is not yet implemented.
-
ConfidentialityData delivery is only available for registered users, who need to present their credentials for access to the services using HTTP Authorization header with Basic scheme for HTTP based connections, and using SASL plain for AMQP connections.
-
General Terms and Conditions of BusinessTerms and conditions are provided by IMO upon request
-
Information RetainmentMeteorological information is retained for a period of at least 30 days from the date of issue. This relates to the information itself and not the request time of the user.
-
SubscriptionTo subscribe, customers need to contact aviationweather@vedur and request access to the service.
-
AuthenticationThe service ensures client authentication in accordance with SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile 2.0 requirement SWIM-TIYP-0042 by implementing username and password authentication using HTTP Authorization headers with Basic scheme for HTTPS based interfaces, and using SASL PLAIN for AMQP.
-
AuthorisationThe service ensures that satisfactory authorisation is put in place according to EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile requirement SWIM-TIYP-0070.
-
ConfidentialityThe service ensures point-to-point confidentiality in accordance with EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile 2.0 through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3. The communication is encrypted by TLS with a certificate issued by the EACP.
-
IntegrityThe service ensures point-to-point integrity in accordance with EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile through the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3.

Filtering Capabilities OGC EDRThe EDR implementation builds on MET3SG community MET SWIM OGC EDR GUIDANCE. Additionally it supports OGC EDR filtering machanisms: cube query using a bbox parameter, area query with a polygon specified in coords parameter, radius query.
-
Filtering Capabilities AMQPSimple filtering is achieved using the topic structure of the broker, which determines the type of data recieved. AMQP SQL-like syntax for filters applied to AMQP application properties can be also used by the service consumer to further filter the data received.
-
The service provider ensures that the data offered within this service is created by IMO, a REGULATED_METEOROLOGICAL_SERVICE_PROVIDER.

-
Typical Request/Reply Behaviour
The typical behavior is following:
- Client sends request to the OGC EDR interface
- The service replies with the appropriate HTTP response
- If the request for specific IWXXM data is made, the service returns a zip archive with one or more files containing IWXXM messages.
-
Typical Data Distribution BehaviourThe service sends the data to subscribers when they are available and match their subscription using the AMQP protocol.
-
Typical Data Subscription Behaviour
For subscribing to data the consumer needs to contact the IMO contact point and request the credentials. After registration the consumer gets the endpoint to IMO SWIM services.
-
For AMQP subscriptions, regular heartbeat messages are sent to weather.aviation.sigmet topic at approximately 60-second intervals. Arrival of the heartbeat message indicates that the main subsystems of the service are running.
