and
Regional Basic Climatological Network (RBCN)

The WMO Regional Associations define the Regional Basic Synoptic Networks of surface and upper-air stations adequate to meet the requirements of Members and of the World Weather Watch.  The WMO Regional Associations also define Regional Basic Climatological Networks necessary to provide a good representation of climate on the regional scale, in addition to global scale.


Antarctic Observing Network (AntON)

The WMO Executive Council Panel of Experts on Polar Observations, Research and Services is in charge of reviewing the Antarctic Observing Network of surface and upper-air stations to meet the requirements of Members and of the World Weather Watch.
