Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005997
An international network of operational meteorological centers coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for the preparation and dissemination of weather analyses and forecast products. The system operates through a tiered structure of World Meteorological Centres, Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres, and National Meteorological Centres. These centers process vast amounts of observational data to produce numerical weather prediction outputs that are shared globally among WMO members.
