WMO Integrated Global Observing Systems (WIGOS) - current and future needs

WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) ids an integrated, coordinated and comprehensive observing system (including both surface-based and space-based components) to satisfy, in a cost-effective and sustained manner, the evolving observing requirements of Members in delivering their weather, climate, water and related environmental services. WIGOS will provide a framework for enabling the integration and optimized evolution of WMO observing systems, and of WMO's contribution to co-sponsored systems, resulting in increased knowledge and enhanced services across all WMO Programmes.
