Questionnaire survey

JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 10

The questionnaire survey on Quality Management for Surface Meteorological Observations in RA II was conducted in 2016. Twenty NMHSs in RA II Members responded to the questionnaire. JMA analyzed the responses and prepared the draft report of the survey results.

Survey results

JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 18

Many NMHSs which responded to the questionnaire operate services in rainy regions. Although a precipitation observation is one of key components for DRR, it was recognized that many observation stations faced difficulties in both the quality check of observation data and the environm ent check of the stations. It was also found that there was room for improvement in applications of observation data such as nowcasting or issuing advisories/ warnings.

Discussions

Given that DRR is one of the highest priorities, multi-scale challenges should be discussed by Member countries to solve issues. We are focusing on the precipitation observation in this workshop.

(D) Approach to training skilled staffs

JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 33

It is noted that many NMHSs recognized “lack of skilled staff” rather than “lack of knowledge” according to the survey. Sharing knowledge and information is becoming easy through technological innovations of telecommunication. We live in our highly-telecommunicated age and the telecommunicated approaches must provide many people opportunity to learn. Face-to-face meetings still have a significant role such as learning, training, and finding common goals. A face-to-face meeting works to unite the people concerned.
