Abstract :
The development of the GEISA/IASI spectroscopic database is ongoing within the ISSWG (IASI-Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer- Sounding Science Working Group), in the frame of the CNES (Centre National d´Etudes Spatiales, France)/EUMETSAT (European organization for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites) Polar System (EPS) and the European Commission Environment and Climate Programme. The content, as well as the access and management facilities, of the version-2000 of the GEISA/IASI database system is described. It is developed and maintained at Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique (LMD), France and EUMETSAT is planning to implement it within the EPS ground segment.
