The Meteosat Data Collection System is the regional system for the Meteosat coverage areas. 33 regional telecommunications channels are used to relay environmental data to the PGS in Fucino. Selected data are then retransmitted back through Meteosat over the DCP Retransmission System (DRS). In addition, the PGS transmits the data to the Mission Control Centre (MCC) in Darmstadt for further processing and distribution. The data of interest to the programmes of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) are transmitted over the Global Telecommunications System (GTS), while a variety of other distribution systems are also used.
