Abstract The scientific objectives of the FGGE and the observational requirements prescribed for the experiment are reviewed. The performance of the observational systems implemented for the operational year is summarised for each component and the extent to which the composite observing system met the requirements is assessed. It is concluded that although the formal requirements were not strictly reached over the whole globe, nevertheless exceptional enhancement was achieved in the areas normally observed very inadequately and it is judged that the final data sets will allow the scientific objectives of the FGGE to be attained. This conclusion depends crucially on the satellite contributions, especially those of TIROS-N.
