• Current reporting formats; 
• Geo and time referencing; 
• Data validation; 
• Data transparency; 
• Data transfer and interchangeability; 
• Flagging of data, including estimated, aggregated, and unchecked data; and 
• Intellectual property of shared data 

Project need:

This standard will establish a standardized approach for providers and users of weather data to share weather data and also to be able to assess the quality of data that is being shared.
