AbstractTwo World Meteorological Organization (WMO) objectives are to promote world-wide co-operation for the making of meteorological observations and to encourage standardization of meteorological and related observations. This paper will recount the current scope and functions of the WMO Satellite Activities and how it contributes to a framework towards facilitating dependable and universally accepted procedures for the extraction of cloud motion winds based on satellite imagery. The paper will also briefly examine the consolidated list of satellite data requirements which has been assembled from the needs of six of the WNO Technical Commissions and other international organizations. Further justification for standardization have been extracted from reference documents such as WMO resolutions in force, WMO Third Long Term Plan and existing precedents for the standardization for satellite data.
