Abstract
Data can be available at all times, but its the quality and reliability are the paramount issues. Weather and climate data must be made available online for the accessibility of end-users like pilots and other flight operators, including the general public for easy planning and decisions making. The information must be a real representation of the atmosphere so that it can fit, and contribute to what is expected from the meteorological community. If a weather observer should refuse to provide the actual weather due to ignorance or deliberate, then it tends to affect the whole meteorological organization. This kind of report will not agree, and comply with the surrounding, accurately observed from other stations, and will not support the ??value chain?? that the meteorological body is trying to arrive at, in order to boost the image of meteorology. Models that take their ??bases-run?? from these dubiously observed weather information will always have a sort of challenges in their output. This is because it will not represent the real atmosphere, and in event, the forecast will not be reliable. In this regard, automatic weather observing stations have been provided to assist in weather observations, but the maintenance at most stations for continuous operation is quite challenging.
