WCP, 142. Possible climatic consequences of a major nuclear war
Golitsyn G.S.; MacCracken Michael C.; World Meteorological Organization (WMO) - WMO, 1987 (WMO/TD-No. 201)
WCP, 85. Guidelines on the quality control of surface climatological data
This paper describes various methods which can be used for the quality control of meteorological data. A range of methods are covered, from very basic checks for correct coding, to time and areal consistency. Homogeneity of the data is dealt with separately.
IOM Report, 18. Guidance material on the choice of meteorological instruments for surface data suitable for use in developing countries
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; WMO Working Group on Instruments and Methods of Observation for Surface Data - WMO, 1986 (WMO/TD-No. 112)
Operational hydrology report (OHR), 26. Methods of measurement and estimation of discharges at hydraulic structures
A review of methods for the measurement and estimation of discharges at hydraulic structures and pressure conduits with the aim of using such facilities, where they already exist, as an alternative to the construction of discharge measurement stations. Focus is on methods of flow estimation at structures commonly installed in reservoirs, dams and canals as well as standard methods for the measurement of open-channel and pipe flow. Mention is also made of the use of pumping stations and navigation locks.
Workbook on numerical weather prediction for the tropics for the training of Class I and Class II meteorological personnel
This workbook has been prepared to assist Class I and Class II meteorological personnel in tackling coding and applying theoretical ideas. Many software models have been included.
El Niño phenomenon and fluctuations of climate : lectures presented at the thirty-sixth session of the WMO Executive Council
Four lectures are presented: "The characteristics of the 1982/1983 El Niño off the Pacific coast of South America"; "The ecological and economic impacts of the El Niño phenomenon in the South-East Pacific"; "Research on El Niño", and "El Niño - Southern Oscillation and investigations of short-range climate variations according to the programme 'Sections'".
Urban climatology and its applications with special regard to tropical areas : proceedings of the Technical Conference
The incorporation of climatological principles in urban design was seen by the conference to be vitally urgent and this publication contains 20 papers presenting examples and suggestions. The siting of new towns and certain hazardous industrial facilities are treated and general guidelines given for urban design in both hot and dry, and hot and humid climates.
Guidelines for computerized data processing in operational hydrology and land and water management : joint FAO/ WMO publication
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) - WMO, 1985 (WMO-No. 634)This publication provides an introduction to the concepts, terminology and application of computerized data processing for land and water experts.
Part I covers the common principles and practices of data processing.
Part II deals specifically with computer applications for hydrological data.
Guide on the automation of data-processing centres
Provides advice to National Meteorological Services (particularly small services) envisaging automating all or some of their data-processing facilities or expanding automation. General guidelines are presented for decision makers on what to automate and how to do so, including securing the necessary financial resources. Other aspects covered include system design, installation and maintenance and contractual and personnel considerations. Configuration examples are given.
Natural resources and rural development in arid lands : case studies from Sudan
United Nations, 1985In 1975 the Council of the United Nations University identified three priority areas for its concern-world hunger, human and social development, and the use and management of natural resources - and directed that a programme should be organized in each of these areas. Each of these programmes is closely related to the others. For example, better use and management of natural resources would help to solve the problem of world hunger and so release more resources and human energy for human and social development.
By early 1977 the Programme on the Use and Management of Natural Res ...
