Election Observation
Why observe elections?
Election observation is a valuable tool for improving the quality of elections. (...) However, international observers are typically less knowledgeable about the country they are observing, and a few may bring their own biases to the observation. (...) Political party observers will be perceived as the least impartial and objective observers.

What is the WMO vision for the evolution of its observing systems?
The future Global Observing System will play a central role within the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS). This evolved integrated observing system will be a comprehensive “system of systems” interfaced with WMO co-sponsored and other non-WMO observing systems, making major contributions to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

About
The Commission for Instruments and Methods of Observations facilitates, through the Instruments and Methods of Observation Programme, international standardization and compatibility of instruments and methods of observations to improve quality of products and services of Members. (...) The work of the Commission underpins all observations within the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS). (...) The Commission first published the WMO Guide to Meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observation (CIMO Guide, WMO-No. 8), in 1954. The Guide deals with the standardization of observational procedures and techniques, and provides comprehensive and up-to-date guidelines on the most effective practices for carrying out meteorological observations and measurements.

Therefore it is essential that governments pay attention to their national early warning and weather observing capacities,” said Mr Taalas.
Large parts of the observing system, for instance its satellite components and many ground-based observing networks, are either partly or fully automated. (...) Surface-based observations
In most developed countries, surface-based weather observations are now almost fully automated.
(...) Marine Observations
WMO is also monitoring the exchange of observations from the marine observing systems, which provide critical information from the 2/3 of the earth’s surface that are covered by the oceans.

Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay - AMDAR - a component system of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System, contributing aircraft-based observations to the World Weather Watch Programme
The global Aircraft Meteorological DAta Relay (AMDAR) programme was initiated by WMO and its Members in cooperation with aviation partners. It has led to the development of the AMDAR observing system. The AMDAR observing system is a sub-system of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System and the Global Observing System, which is defined and maintained under the WMO World Weather Watch Programme.
