We won't need observing sites when NWP does it all, virtual obs as well!

Another of Will's jokes, just in case anybody was wondering.


Thanks Len, as an amateur I need all the help I can get :-)

I am doing the "Observing Climate from Space" MOOC at
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/climate-from-space (not recommended)
and it seems that satellites, rather than computers, may be able to replace
observers in the future.

Cheers, Alastair.
