We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.

Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
Wednesday July 29, 2026 8:30am - 10:00am CDT
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Information System 2.0 (WIS2) is the new data exchange backbone for 193 WMO Members across all WMO Earth system domains: weather, climate, hydrology, ocean, atmospheric composition, cryosphere, and space weather. WIS2 is built on a modern cloud-native technology stack using standards developed within OGC and WMO, providing discovery, access, and near real-time notification of data availability. This session brings together WIS2 and OGC API experts for an update and discussion covering WIS2 architecture, FOSS reference implementations, pilots and production rollout globally, and mechanisms for trusted organisations to publish data to WIS2.

Audience
Data producers interested in making their data available to the weather forecasting community; researchers and educators interested in accessing and using WIS2 data
