The COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) follow-on, GK-2A(Geostationary Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2A) was successfully launched on December 5, 2018 and has been operational since 25 July, 2019. Two instruments, AMI(Advanced Meteorological Imager) and KSEM(Korean Space wEather Monitor) are installed on the GK-2A. This paper is focused on the data service of AMI which has much better capabilities of observation than those of MI(Meteorological Imager) of COMS. The number of channels of GK-2A is increased from 5 to 16 and the number of meteorological products from 16 to 52, respectively. Its ability of full disk scanning of every 10 minutes enhances the disaster monitoring.The GK-2A AMI data can be accessed in various ways of landline-based network and dissemination by the satellite. The AMI all sixteen channels data is being disseminated in real-time by realtime FTP for national meteorological services and satellite broadcasting in UHRIT(Ultra High Rate Information Transmission) format for registered global user groups. In terms of non-realtime service, the AMI data and its meteorological products are available at NMSC(National Meteorological Satellite Center) and DCPC(Data Collection or Production Center) websites. KMA also provides the user-customized image processing tool via NMSC website for easy handling of the AMI data. KMA will keep improving the data service policy and related systems to increase the data accessibility and to expand the GK-2A users.
