The extremely changing and transient nature of radar and satellite data required rapid broadcasting systems and frequent updating of information, New developments in telephone networks and microprocessing mean that such broadcasting can now be realised on a wide variety of equipment which can be low in cost but nevertheless capable of making adjustment and interpretation of pictures easy for users, The Meteorological office intends to have reception equipment for radar and satellite pictures marketed under the name of METEOTEL and supplied to a maximum number of stations in its network and previous users will also be able to install such equipment. This equipment has been designed on the basis of experience acquired in prototype stations constructed by the Meteorological Research Studies Establishment (l'Etablissement d'Etudes et de Recherches Météorologiques) some of which have been set up in the Paris region for experimental purposes. Different possible applications for these prototype stations are given together with the different functions which the METEOTEL stations will fulfil.
