Due to global warming, extremely high impact weather events for climate changes such as typhoon, flood, drought, heavy snow, heat wave and severe coldness and others have happened frequently all over the world. Therefore meteorological disasters have occurred in succession by high impact weather events. So the attention and the importance of meteorological information are arising than ever. The reasons why the weather information has the important meaning in the meteorological industry are the investment value of meteorological information reaches from 10 to 20 times according to the data of World Meteorological Organization, in 1987 and industries which are sensitive at weather among American GDP are almost 42% according to the data of The Department of Commerce, in 1996. If we apply this to Korea, about 52% industries will be affected. We need to foster and invigorate meteorological industries because there are most economical activities which are affected by weather, but the turnover and the number of trades on Korean meteorological industries are insignificant so we can't even classify. To foster and invigorate domestic meteorological industries can be summarized as follows. 1. We should classify weather service area into the public and nongovernmental sectors by establishing a major role of meteorological business operator and KMA, and draw up guidelines on the public and nongovernmental role to expand the market entry of weather services. 2. We should rationalize using weather information charge to promote the invigoration of public weather services. 3. We should expand support for R&D in the field of meteorological industry. 4. We should expand the transfer of meteorological technics and theories, and invigorate technology exchange. 5. we should build the infrastructure for lots of stable supports to meteorological industry. 6. We should improve and develop the various meteorological service markets.
