Questionnaire survey 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 analysis Four groups: m anned w eather stations, m anned precipitation/ hydrological stations, autom atic w eather stations and autom atic precipitation/ hydrological stations are used Four icons are used precipitation/ Manned Automatic Weather hydrological JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 11
Major findings (1/ 4) Automatic precipitation/ hydrological stations are operated by only one third of NMHSs. Operational observation stations JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 12
Major findings (2/ 4) Precipitation/ hydrological stations are operated with difficulties in a quality check of the observation data and an environmental check of the stations. Method of manual checking Only one half of NMHSs manually check observation data. JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 13
Major findings (2/ 4 cont.) Precipitation/ hydrological stations are operated with difficulties in a quality check of the observation data and an environmental check of the stations. Activities of checking station Lower activities conditions are conducted for checking station conditions. JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 14
Major findings (3/ 4) A percentage of NMHSs which utilize observation data of the precipitation/ hydrological stations for application effective in Disaster Risk Reduction, such as advisories/ warnings and nowcasting, is generally lower than that of NMHSs utilizing observation data of weather stations. Application of observations data JMA / WMO Workshop on Quality Management of Surface Observations - RA II WIGOS project Tokyo, Japan 19-23 March 2018 15

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