The role of the Vision in WMO and in discussion with partners Used widely in WMO and in discussion with partners In the WMO Space Programme and interaction with space agencies through CGMS and other forums In the discussion for the surface based observing systems On the complementation of space-based and surface-based observing systems On the added values of the surface-based observing system Variables which cannot be observed from space Validation of satellite data Collection of high resolution data regionally and more timely for critical applications Continuity of data records for climate applications Vision 2040 update of the implementation plan EGOS-IP
