These include general analysis and forecasting, weather radar and satellite observations, surface and upper-air observation networks, meteorological communication systems, data-processing centres and supporting core research, training and administration,

In addition, international organizations such as The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) have played a leadership role in developing global observing networks.

If you go on the Weather Network, or if you access the web, as many of us do, to see what is happening tonight in Ottawa, that same information is coming from the Meteorological Service of Canada as forecasters, but the raw data they start with is being reported at over 200 airports in the country by our observers or contract observers — we have many contract observers — every hour or fraction thereof where the weather has a significant change.
