I believe that work is well advanced towards identifying a single

whilst essentially an amateur/enthusiastic professional concept, would
be a good template to base such a system on.

According to the FAQ it's "an initiative of a team of European
meteorologists and meteorology students / trained enthusiasts, who
intend to

Must admit it's not a site I visit very often.
