Climate Atlas
The atlas is based on the climate datasets provided by the CM SAF. It consists of maps providing climatological information of different meteorological parameters. These include:
-general climatic characteristics of meteorological parameters over Europe and Latvia;
-information on satellite data suitable for climatological studies, particularly datasets provided by the CM SAF;
-an example of the strengths and weaknesses of satellite data for climate applications;
-instructions for creating a satellite climatology atlas and beginning to work with satellite da ...

European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites
Published by: EUMETSAT ; 2017The atlas is based on the climate datasets provided by the CM SAF. It consists of maps providing climatological information of different meteorological parameters. These include:
-general climatic characteristics of meteorological parameters over Europe and Latvia;
-information on satellite data suitable for climatological studies, particularly datasets provided by the CM SAF;
-an example of the strengths and weaknesses of satellite data for climate applications;
-instructions for creating a satellite climatology atlas and beginning to work with satellite datasets in general.
This tool should be used for viewing example data from different CM SAF climate datasets. The complete instructions provided here will enable users to create their own atlas with only minor additional support in processing or climatological theory.Notes: The climate atlas is a tool to help visualise climate datasets for Europe and Latvia. It is also a guide for working with satellite data in climatology.

Satellite Soil Moisture Validation and Application Workshop
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT); GEWEX ; et al. - ESA Publications Division, 2013The objective of the workshop is to discuss and reconcile recent methodological advances in the validation and application of global satellite soil moisture data. The workshop will bring together producers and users of satellite soil moisture data, providing a platform to discuss data quality, error characterization, validation approaches, data assimilation, and the broadening range of applications. The workshop will focus on soil moisture products derived from current and future active and passive microwave sensors operating in the low frequency range from 1 to 10 GHz, including but not ...

Event: Satellite Soil Moisture Validation and Application Workshop (1-3 July 2013; Frascati, Italy)
Published by: ESA Publications Division ; 2013The objective of the workshop is to discuss and reconcile recent methodological advances in the validation and application of global satellite soil moisture data. The workshop will bring together producers and users of satellite soil moisture data, providing a platform to discuss data quality, error characterization, validation approaches, data assimilation, and the broadening range of applications. The workshop will focus on soil moisture products derived from current and future active and passive microwave sensors operating in the low frequency range from 1 to 10 GHz, including but not limited to ASCAT, SMOS, AMSR-E, ASAR, SMAP, Sentinel-1 and any combination thereof. One concrete goal of the workshop will be to collect material for a white paper on “Best practice guidelines for the validation of satellite soil moisture data using in situ data hosted by the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN)” which is foreseen as a contribution to GEWEX, CEOS, TOPC, and WMO.

DRR-SEE, 1. Strengthening Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems and Risk Assessment in the Western Balkans and Turkey : assessment of capacities, gaps and needs
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR); et al. - WMO, 2012A fundamental mission of the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is to contribute to the protection of the lives and livelihood of people by providing early warnings for hydrometeorological and climaterelated hazards. They provide crucial support to Disaster Risk Management (DRM) agencies and other Early Warning Systems (EWS) stakeholders, as well as to various socio-economic sectors through provision of hydrometeorological and climate related data, information and services, within a multi-agency, multi-hazard and multi-level disast ...

Published by: WMO, Regional Office for Europe (ROE) ; 2012A fundamental mission of the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is to contribute to the protection of the lives and livelihood of people by providing early warnings for hydrometeorological and climaterelated hazards. They provide crucial support to Disaster Risk Management (DRM) agencies and other Early Warning Systems (EWS) stakeholders, as well as to various socio-economic sectors through provision of hydrometeorological and climate related data, information and services, within a multi-agency, multi-hazard and multi-level disaster risk reduction framework.
An assessment carried out in 2007-2008 by the World Bank, the WMO and the United Nations Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (UN-ISDR) through the South Eastern Europe Disaster Risk Mitigation and Adaptation Programme (SEEDRMAP), revealed serious deficiencies in the capability of the NMSHs of many of the SEE countries to provide the required support to DRR, as well as insufficient cooperation between the DRR stakeholders, including NMHSs, at national and regional level.
As a follow-up of the above assessment, WMO and the United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) implemented, in parallel, two complementary projects that were funded together as the “Regional Programme on Disaster Risk Reduction in South East Europe” by the European Commission Directorate General for Enlargement, through its Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA). This programme is targeting the following eight IPA beneficiaries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo (under UNSCR 1244/99), and Turkey.
The outcomes of these assessments are presented in the present Report.Notes: Regional Programme on Disaster Risk Reduction in South East Europe Activity 2 (WMO): Regional Cooperation in South Eastern Europe for Meteorological, Hydrological and Climate Data Management and Exchange to Support Disaster Risk Reduction (IPA/2009/199-922)
