The majority of respondents rated their NMHS service level as satisfactorily meeting most requirements. Public weather, warnings, and aviation services, were most consistently rated as meeting most or exceeding requirements. Climate, earthquake/volcano, hydrological services, as well as tsunami and marine services were also rated as satisfactory or better by a majority of Members who provide these services. Tailored services to specific economic sectors and agrometeorological services were identified by many respondents as only partly meeting requirements and were perhaps the service most in need of development. Air/Water quality service is not applicable to as many as one third of the Members in RA II. Figure 4.1: Current of service provisions Respondents were also asked to rate the adequacy of national research capability to support service delivery. Research in support of early warning systems, marine and aviation services were seen as the advanced level that meets or exceed users’ requirement, although in all instances, there were significant numbers of Members who rated the underpinning research as being satisfactory or only partly satisfactory. Similarly, considerable numbers of Members also rated the research capabilities as poor not meeting stated requirement by government or
