The Need for Global Third-Party Validation for New Observation Technology
07 Oct 2026
Developments in Earth System Measurements and Technologies
Characterization, Testing and Performance of Instruments and Methods
The talk proposes a third-party validation pathway for emerging weather observation technologies, mapping performance directly to WMO OSCAR requirements. Using existing ISO/IEC labs and Regional Instrument Centers, the framework moves from documentation through controlled and field testing to global certification and post-deployment monitoring—reducing per-country adoption costs and giving national meteorological services a clear, evidence-based route to procurement.
