Armenia counts on a network of as many as 45 meteorological stations, 3 climatic stations, and 70 meteorological, 105 river and 7 lake observation sites.

Launching of the meteorological rockets are carried out by the Meteorological Rocket Observation Station, the sole facility capable of meteorological rocket observation in East Asia and the western Pacific.

GMS observes cloud coverage and temperatures of sea surface and cloud top, and collects meteorological data from aircraft, buoys and meteorological observation stations in remote areas.

Gambia reported a meteorological network of 15 synoptic stations, 44 rainfall stations and 18 crop monitoring stations for observation of crop phenology.

GMS observes cloud images and temperatures of sea surface and cloud top, and collects meteorological data from aircraft, buoys and meteorological observation stations in remote areas.

Although several countries did not provide details of their observation stations, all Parties have synoptic, climatic, meteorological, sea level, rainfall and hydrological monitoring stations.

2. Remote Earth sensing, meteorological observation and environmental monitoring

Viet Nam operates one ground atmospheric monitoring station that belongs to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Basic Pollution Monitoring Network.

Each station would monitor about 15 variables such as flow, suspended load, water chemistry and on bank meteorological variables.

More specifically, these activities mainly include meteorological satellite receiving stations and Earth observation user communities.

HYCOS Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WMO)

Performs regular meteorological and solar energy observations.

These included meteorological, atmospheric, oceanographic and terrestrial observations of the climate system.

Some Parties, including China, reported problems with meteorological observation where stations are distributed unevenly across the country.

The World Meteorological Organization's Global Atmosphere Watch monitoring programme global ozone and UV B radiation observing and monitoring system.

GCOS Global Climate Observing System (UNEP IOC WMO)

The meteorological rockets observe temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind etc. at altitudes of between 30 and 60 kilometres.

Some three hundred stations now comprise the WMO GAW network (Figure 1).

The Korea Meteorological Administration planned to make meteorological observations for research, operations and applications available without restrictions.

It has 143 reference climate stations, 530 basic weather stations and 1,736 ordinary weather stations.

The Japan Meteorological Agency conducts space based meteorological observations using GMS and meteorological rockets as part of the World Weather Watch programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

The Malaysian Meteorological Service operated a ground based synoptic observation network to monitor weather, atmospheric and environmental conditions.

The Department operates 13 meteorological stations.

The country has a well developed meteorological service and network of monitoring stations.

Meteorological observation from satellites mitigation was contributing to improved weather forecasting and the prevention and mitigation of natural disasters such as hurricanes, as well as efforts to address the devastating effects of climate change.

The Meteorological rockets observe temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind etc, at altitudes of between 30 and 60 kilometres.

The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch programme recently developed a proposal for an Integrated Global Atmospheric Chemistry Observation System to ensure more accurate and comprehensive global observations of key atmospheric gases and aerosols and to make such observations accessible to users.

The newly independent States and other new WMO members are planning to acquire satellite receiving stations to actively monitor the meteorological conditions.

In most countries, the meteorological agency is responsible for undertaking and coordinating these observations.
