The WMO Secretariat is happy to share the outcomes and highlights from the recent WMO Workshop on Standardization of First-mile Data Collection from Automatic Observing Platforms. Hosted at the WMO HQ from February 19 to February 20, 2024, the workshop convened experts and industry leaders to address crucial challenges in the realm of first-mile data collection.
The workshop resulted in key outputs:
