h1. EUMETNET OBSERVATIONS
EUMETNET is a grouping of 31 European National Meteorological Services that provides a framework to organise co-operative programmes between its Members in the various fields of basic meteorological activities. These activities include observing systems, data processing, basic forecasting products, research and development and training. EUMETNET's mission statement is.
The EUMETNET programme supports NAWDEX with the following extra-observations:
# 1) Radiosondes from land stations within the European Network
# 2) E-AMDAR observations
# 3) E-ASAP-radiosoundings from commercial ships
All observation types perform operational (regular) observations. During the NAWDEX observation period the NAWDEX team can activate the observation types and ask for increased observation frequency. This manual explains the procedure to activate them.
The *point of contact* responsible for the coordination of all observations by the EUMETNET Observations Programme Management is
> Sabine Hafner
> EUMETNET Observations Programme Management
> Operations and Projects Manager
> Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD)
> Phone:+49 (0) 69 8062 4491
> email: sabine.hafner[at]dwd.de
The available funding covers 65 k€ (50k€ for additional radiosoundings and 15 k€ for AMDAR data. Depending on the price per sonde which varies from country to country we envisage 200-250 additional soundings. During the NAWDEX period we will regularly get a status report on our balance by Sabine Hafner.
All requests have to be sent from the email-address: *sounding[at] nawdex.org* to the respective points of contacts +(see list)+
