| Description | The Global Observing System (GOS) provides observations of the state of the atmosphere and ocean surface, from the Earth and from outer space, for the preparation of weather analyses, forecasts, advisories and warnings, for climate monitoring and environmental activities carried out under programmes of WMO and of other relevant international organizations. It is operated by National Meteorological Services, national or international satellite agencies, and involves several consortia dealing with specific observing systems or specific geographic regions. | |
