Developing the new WRM:- WMO observing systems


• Basic SARPs (definitive)• Mostly requirement-driven• Approval by Congress (in principle)• Relatively Conservative

• More detailed SARPs (procedures and specifications)

• Mostly technology-driven• Approval delegated to EC• Relatively Dynamic

• Procedures and practices• Implementation guidance• Explanations• Examples, good practice• Flexible updates

How ET-SBO can help SG-RM

In order of priority / immediacy:

1.Review the current Manual on the GOS for content that is obsolete and needs to be updated or deleted (plus Guide to the GOS where necessary to match those updates);

(by October 2013)

2.Review the current Manual on the GOS for new content that should be added to describe existing standard practices;

1. (ideally by October 2013, but more important to do a good job)

3.Compose new content to describe new standard practices as they are developed (for radars, AWS, etc).

(do a good job, material can go in later updates if not first edition of WRM in 2015)
