World Weather Watch Programme
Part I of the 2012 edition of Technical Regulations (WMO-No 49) was the “World Weather Watch”, and consisted of three sections Global Observing System, Global Data Processing and Forecasting System and WMO Information System.
The 2015 edition removed the World Weather Watch heading, so that Part I is WIGOS, Part II is WIS and Part III is Data Processing and Forecasting.
With this change to Technical Regulations the description of the of the World Weather Watch is limited to the “Definitions” and refers explicitly to the GOS, GDPFS and GTS.
