WOW is reaching end of life and is no longer cost efficient, so the WOW Next project is exploring options to replace this capability with a new data-focused service. We are not looking to replace the service in a like-for-like way as the business need has changed, so we welcome alternative suggestions for provision of our requirements. Our requirements are threefold: - We are initially looking to replace the WOW dataset with an alternative but equivalent automatic weather station (AWS) dataset. This needs to have similar characteristics to the WOW data (including measured variables, quality, spatial and temporal resolution, reporting frequency and timeliness). WOW currently provides us with approximately 1700 sites across the UK and Ireland, and we are looking to source data from a similar, or greater, number of low cost AWSs, such as those operated by members of the public, or organisations with an interest in the weather, with a good distribution across the UK. - To explore the potential of procuring ‘data as a service’ from a third-party provider, who possesses the capability to ingest and expose various Automatic Weather Station (AWS) data sources. These sources of data could be quite varied and will include public and/or private sector weather networks. Initially, we plan to use data sourced in requirement 1, but we envisage that it will, over time, expand to encompass other sources. - To develop a webform or interface webpage that could be used to allow our Voluntary Climate Network (VCN) of observers to report manual weather readings on a daily basis, as is currently the practice via WOW.
