Standard activites of the MOSS department
(MOSS – Meteorological Observation System of Serbia)
Meteorological observation system of Serbia (MOSS) is a part of Global observation system (GOS) and consists of all the micro-locations with observations. Protection of life, property and environment are essential tasks of every state. Maintaining of observing infrastructure is the precondition for the carying out of these tasks. A group of meteorological elements and phenomena measured and observed on one location for the needs of certain branch of meteorology (work programme) makes a type of station for these purposes, and all the stations of that kind make a station network of that kind. Networks of various types of stations have many common physical components, so they are located on the same place with simultaneous operation as a rational solution in expert and economic sense. On meteorological stations the following parameters are measured and observed:

Networks of various types of stations have many common physical components, so they are located on the same place with simultaneous operation as a rational solution in expert and economic sense. On meteorological stations the following parameters are measured and observed:
- present weather;
- past weather;
- direction, speed and wind intensity;
- quantity, type and height of cloud base;
- visibility; air temperature;
- air humidity;
- atmospheric pressure;
- pressure tendency and its characteristics;
- extreme temperatures (minimum and maximum);
- precipitation intensity, duration and quantity;
- soil condition;
- cloud movement direction;
- special occurrences;
- solar radiation;
- minimum temperature on 5 cm;
- soil temperature on depths of 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100 cm;
- soil evaporation;
- evaporation from open water surface;
- phenological observation;
- soil moisture;
- solar radiation components;
- daily samples of air and precipitation;
- air and precipitation gamma radiation intensity;
- icing on conductors;
- electric discharge.
