OBSERVATIONS FOR WEATHER RESILIENCE
The Global Basic Observing Network (GBON) is a worldwide network of weather stations and observing systems that provide essential meteorological data for weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and research purposes. The Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) provides long-term financial and technical assistance to promote the collection and exchange of essential weather and climate data in compliance with GBON.
