6. Standardization and interoperability Operating observing systems and making observations almost fully comply with WMO standard and recommended practices and procedures for instruments and methods observation. Implementing the process for the classification of the observing stations according to CIMO site classification scheme and CIMO Guide Fulfilling all obligations, (recognized as DCPC) standards and applications, and following the procedures of WIS Managing a central database for processing, archiving and disseminating the all observatioonal data
16
Key Activity Areas/Turkey
7.WIGOS Information Resource Utilizing from the existing WIR Developing and operating WRD Completion of reviewing all meteorological data inventory, and updating existing metadata records, Checking the registered observational systems available in OSCAR/Surface Operating a central database to archive, manage and access the metadata Recording metadata with the inclusion of history and environmental conditions of station, type and purpose of the observation, instruments used, preventive and corrective maintenance records, observer’s information. Having a centralized operational information system with the required features for collecting, processing, archiving and disseminating the observational data
17
Key Activity Areas/Turkey
8. Data discovery and availability (data and metadata) Fulfilling all obligations, standards and applications, and following the procedures of WIS Recognized as Data Collection and Production Center (DCPC) for WIS information exchange by WMO Congress in June 2015 Adopted the new WIS standards and practices in accordance with the amendments provided by the WMO Collecting and archiving observational data of other organizations , no activity yet for these data to be discoverable and accessible through WIS. No barrier at National level for contribution and accessing observations via GTS and/or WIS Giving permission to Institutions, Universities and Governmental Organizations to access all observational data in case of any request

9. Capacity development Implementing a modernization programme of observing network since 2001 Carrying out data management process including collecting, archiving and exchanging the observational data Trying to implement WIGOS framework at national level with its allocated resources for the modernization programme of observing network Organizing national and international training courses on observing systems Cooperation with other Members (consultancy service, system installation, maintenance, etc.)

10. Communications and outreach Issuing the strategic planning and activities report including observing systems to the public from the official web site of TSMS. Submitting the observational data to the public in near-real time basis on the official web site of TSMS with a remark of unapplied quality control checks. Maintaining good relationships with internal and external key target audiences Making sectoral based analysis for understanding the needs of key target audiences Evaluation of the results of regular survey and feedback from the users Supporting the R&D studies on observing systems
20
Conclusion Still need for the improvement of the awareness on WIGOS at the other agencies at national level Reaction from not only private agencies but also from public agencies to involve in national WIGOS umbrella National and institutional data policies have been causing problems for the efficient implementation of WIGOS More effort is needed for improvement of data quality Metadata should be updated whenever is needed Lack of sufficient financial and human resources
