• Standardization of observation environment
  • Problems
    • Different agencies install and openable instruments for diverse purposes – disaster prevention, water resource management, etc.
    • Uncontrolled management of meteorological instruments and observation environment with a variety of agencies producing meteorological observation data
    • Few agencies operate instruments correctly in an adequate observation environment (most agencies do not follow the WMO observation standards)
    • Lack of representativeness;
    • Lack of calibration;
    • Lack of adequate management of instruments;
    • Object Facilities: 3,766 (including KMA, Jun 2018)
    • Result: Low-quality data

  • One solution
    • Government-driven initiative for observation standardization in meteorology according to WMO standards
• Meteorological Observation Standardization Law
  • Legislation of MOSL
    • This law seeks to promote accurate meteorological observation; efficient operation of meteorological observation instruments, and cooperative utilization of meteorological observation data, so as to protect the life and property of the nation and increase public welfare
  • Promulgation of MOSL
    • Jul 2006 Enforcement
  • Objective (Expected goal)
    • To ensure effective observation and reliable data nationwide for co-use in preventing natural disasters and improving welfare.
