Why standards matter here

A small island service depends on data it does not generate itself — satellite imagery, model guidance, regional radar and cyclone forecasts all arrive from partners. Standards are what make that exchange possible.

They also work in the other direction. Grenada's observations contribute to the regional and global record, and are only useful to others if they are made and coded to the same rules.
