Note: data source referring to satellite/instrument to be used in experimentally way or
which availability is not certain are not mentioned in the above table. For more details see

2.2.3 Data Distribution Interfaces Overview
The distribution of products to operational End-Users such as Meteorological Services,
certain Units of Hydrological Services and Civil Protection, conditioned by severe
timeliness requirements, will be performed directly from the production centres, through
the following interfaces (Table 2).
Hydro Validation Subsystem has no data distribution interfaces.
External actor can be an Organization as well an Institute. Internal actor is an H-SAF
component.
