The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has joined forces with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to create a new online tool to monitor the availability and quality of global meteorological observations.
The new web-based system that was launched last week monitors the performance of the WMO’s Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS).
The software will form part of the WIGOS Data Quality Monitoring System (WDQMS), which assesses the availability and quality of land-based observations of weather conditions at Earth’s surface.
