The Aircraft to Satellite Data Relay(ASDAR) programme is sponsored by an International meteorological group in order to augment the collection of upper air meteorological data, and thereby improve the accuracy of global weather forescasting. It has been developed by Matra Marconi Space, UK in collaboration with the WMO to enable aircraft to generate and transmit real-time meteorological reports via geostationary meteorological satellites for global relay. It is an automated system offering significant advantages, including reduced crew responsibility delays and errors. ASDAR, operating in conjunction with meteorological satellites, has proved to be a versatile tool in obtaining meteorological data automatically from flights over both oceans and continents, especially over areas not serviced by meteorological stations. In addition, during the ascent and descent phases of the aircraft, observations at regular pressure intervals provide a detailed vertical atmospheric temperature profile near the airports. The meteorological data provided by this system has proved to be very useful for improving the weather forecasting service.  1, record 1, English, - Aircraft%20to%20Satellite%20Data%20Relay

Environment Canada developed a Severe Thunderstorm Watch/Warning Program across Canada to ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadians. The purpose of this program is to deliver Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Watch/Warning Bulletins. These bulletins are designed to provide as much advance warning as possible of hazardous thunderstorm activity and tornadoes. In addition to a continuous surveillance system(e. g., satellite or meteorological radar coverage), the Program relies on weather observations provided by volunteer weather watchers.  1, record 4, English, - Severe%20Thunderstorm%20Watch%2FWarning%20Program

The concept of the Operational World Weather Watch Systems Evaluation(OWSE) has also been developed as a framework for regional implementation. The OWSE-Africa, which was created to evaluate the very extensive use of a geostationary meteorological satellite(operated by the European operational satellite consortium, EUMETSAT) to improve telecommunications and data availability in Africa,... was designed to implement and test the data collection system for receipt of meteorological observations from various countries in Africa.  3, record 7, English, - Operational%20World%20Weather%20Watch%20Systems%20Evaluation

The WMO responded to the UN request with the concept of the World Weather Watch (WWW), an operational system to bring the global atmosphere under improved surveillance and to provide for the rapid collection and exchange of weather data as well as for the dissemination of weather products from centralized processing centers. ... The World Weather Watch (WWW) is an integrated system which functions on three levels -- global, regional, and national. The WWW is divided into three essential elements that are closely linked and interdependent -- the Global Observing System (GOS), Global Data Processing System (GDPS), and Global Telecommunication System (GTS).  3, record 7, English, - Operational%20World%20Weather%20Watch%20Systems%20Evaluation
