The implementation of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) requires close coordination at the national, regional and global levels. Support of relevant WMO Regional Centers is crucial to ensure that Members through their National Focal Points are aware of, and able to implement WIGOS in accordance with the practices and procedures listed in Technical Regulations (WMO-No. 49, Volume I) and in the Manual on WIGOS (WMO-No. 1160).
