Future MeteoSwiss Open Data Policy

• MeteoSwiss has the assignment to propose a new

meteorological law with open data policy to the FC

• The OGD@Bund portal is a pilot for a possible open meteo

data portal

• A preliminary start date for open data access can be 2016

• The extend of data liberalization is under discussion. The

direction is to liberate all data measured based on public

funding and no distribution restrictions.

Thank you for your

attention!
