Dear SOFF Peer Advisors,
We are planning technical webinars for SOFF peer advisors. One of the topics we are preparing is private sector engagement in GBON implementation. We have identified several aspects where private sector involvement could be relevant, and we will invite HydroMeteorological and Environmental Industry (HMEI) members to share their solutions for these aspects.
Please find below the proposed aspects, and let us know if there are any others you believe would require private sector engagement.
Potential Areas for Private Sector Engagement:
- GBON
Infrastructure
- GBON surface land stations
- GBON upper-air stations, including continuous consumables
- National Data Management Systems
- WIS 2.0
- GBON station maintenance and calibration as a service
- GBON data as a service
We would appreciate any feedback you may have by 7 February 2025.
Best regards,
SOFF Secretariat
