## Editorial
Korea Meteorological Administration is South Korea's national meteorological agency and a satellite-meteorology data provider. Its relevant Earth-observation role is reception, processing, production, and dissemination of GEO-KOMPSAT-2A meteorological satellite data rather than spacecraft manufacture.[^kma-home][^nmsc-gk2a-intro] GEO-KOMPSAT-2A launched on 2018-12-05, observes with 16 channels, and produces 52 meteorological products.[^nmsc-gk2a-intro] Dissemination routes include UHRIT, HRIT, LRIT, web services, Open API, FTP, and DCPC access planning, making KMA relevant to users of Korean geostationary weather products and distribution services.[^nmsc-gk2a-intro]
