Zusammenfassung:	WMO Guides describe the practices and procedures that Members are invited to follow or implement in establishing and conducting their arrangements for compliance with the WMO Technical Regulations. One longstanding publication in this series is the Guide to Instruments and Methods of Observation (WMO-No. 8), which was first published in 1950. The Guide is the authoritative reference for all matters related to instrumentation and methods of observation in the context of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS). Uniform, traceable and high-quality observational data represent an essential input for most WMO applications, such as climate monitoring, numerical weather prediction, nowcasting and severe weather forecasting, all of which facilitate the improvement of the well-being of societies around the world. The main purpose of the Guide is to provide guidance on the most effective practices and procedures for undertaking meteorological, hydrological and related environmental measurements and observations in order to meet specific requirements for different application areas. It also provides information on the capabilities of instruments and systems that are regularly used to perform such observations. The theoretical basis of the techniques and observational methods is outlined in the text and supported by references and further reading for additional background information and details. The continuous evolution and standardization of measurement and observational practices and the rapid development of new measurement techniques and technologies have led to the evolution of the Guide into a significantly larger publication that constitutes a fundamental and essential source of information. Beginning with the 2018 edition, the Guide has been separated into "volumes" that can be updated and published independently.
