Template	This article has been rated as Template-Class on the assessment scale.

The title of this template is "Meteorological Observation Systems and Weather Stations (Earth based)". Some of the items in the template don't match this description.

• SST buoys - the link goes to the measurement, SST, not to "buoys" themselves, which would be an observation system on Earth's surface
• Hurricane Hunters - arguably not Earth-based, and the only manned system on the list

I don't delete them right now because I haven't looked into what pages use this template and what "connections" would be lost. Perhaps a "See Also" in certain pages is a better alternative.

I added NEXRAD radar because it fits the definition of an "observation system (Earth based)".

I assume "Satellite" or "Space" based gets its own template.
