The Bureau has been a substantial user of satellite Earth observations for several decades, and this continues to grow at a significant pace. The Bureau currently assimilates data from over 30 satellites into weather prediction and visualisation systems every day. These data are crucial for the provision of weather forecasts and warnings for Australia and beyond. The use of satellite observations at the Bureau is constantly evolving. Improvements in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) allow assimilation of new data streams in higher spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. Demand for satellite data is also increasing as users discover the enhanced capabilities of the new generation of meteorological satellites, allowing them to integrate satellite observations with other data types, using state of the art processing techniques. This is an exciting time for space. International satellite data providers are considering new architectures for providing meteorological observations in the future, and commercial companies are now offering valuable products for NWP and nowcasting. In Australia there is growing momentum for developing Australia's space sector, and the Bureau has started thinking about what an Australian meteorological satellite capability might look like in the future. This presentation will give an overview of satellite activities in the Bureau, including new services being developed to address user needs, opportunities offered by new generation satellites, how the Bureau is responding to the growth and momentum in the Australian space sector, and opportunities all these offer for strengthening international partnerships.
