5. 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
