According to the analysis from ECMWF there are 450 stations sending synop data on GTS with the WSI. The team discussed the fact that this is a significant number of stations. It was highlighted that several NWP Centres are not ready to process data with WSI and that they may not be ready by 2022 as for the WIGOS Operational Plan.
