Global Weather Observing System (GWOS)

The Global Weather Observing System (GWOS) is an international network that collects and shares weather data from various sources, including satellites, weather stations, and buoys. Its main goal is to improve weather forecasting and climate monitoring globally. By providing accurate and timely information about atmospheric conditions, GWOS helps governments, scientists, and businesses make informed decisions related to weather, such as disaster preparedness and resource management. This coordinated effort enhances our understanding of weather patterns and climate change, ultimately contributing to better safety and planning for communities worldwide.
