The Met Office is responsible for services delivering meteorological observations to a global audience on behalf of three EUMETNET Observations Programmes (E-Profile, EGVap and E-ABO). The Met Office has delivered these observations services for more than a decade. The IT systems delivering the services managed by the Met Office, on behalf of EUMETNET, are commonly known as Datahubs. The E-ADAS (EUMETNET AMDAR data acquisition system) Datahub processes AMDAR observations from European airlines that are part of the EUMETNET aircraft-based observations programme (EABO). The E-Profile Datahub processes data from several types of observing instrument that vertically profile the atmosphere. These instruments include radar wind-profilers, automatic LIDARs and Ceilometers. The E-GVap Datahub is the simplest of the three. The E-GVap Datahub receives data in a standard format (from the geodetic community) and converts these data into a format that can be used by NMHSs. The three Datahubs are currently operational but are reaching end-of-life due to their age and deployment on Met Office on-premises platforms (LINUX VMs). The use of on premises platforms is contrary to the Met Office strategy of using public cloud (i.e.Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services). To ensure the long-term viability of the datahubs, the Met Office is looking to work with a partner to redevelop and then operationally support all three datahubs.
