长期气候记录从常规气象观测网向自动气象观 测网过渡中的挑战
世界气象组织 (WMO) - WMO, 2017WMO已经发布了管理气候观测计划变化的指导原则，其中有一套可以管理这种变化的建议做法（WMO，2007）。本指南将侧重于那些可能构成长期气候记录一部分的AWS。这些AWS 通常由NMHS 或相关机构所有，或有时由第三方（如航空、农业或公路运输机构）根据NMHS认可的标准拥有。经验表明，私人AWS对某些气候目的是有用的（如提供个别局地尺度的极端事件信息），但很少能达到所需的记录长度、准确性或敞度标准，或场地和仪器的长期稳定性，不可能对十年或更长的时间尺度的监测有很大价值。
Challenges in the Transition from Conventional to Automatic Meteorological Observing Networks for Long-term Climate Records
Guidelines for managing changes in climate observation programmes, with a set of recommended practices by which such changes can be managed, have already been published (WMO, 2007). This guidance note will focus on those AWSs likely to form part of long-term climate records. These will normally be owned by NMHSs or associated agencies, or sometimes by third parties (such as aviation, agriculture or road transport agencies) under standards endorsed by the NMHSs. Experience shows that private AWSs can be useful for some climate purposes (such as providing information on individual local-scale ex ...

Reservoir Pool Elevation: Considerations for Long-term Asset Management and Planning
Long-term management of critical water resources infrastructure needs to incorporate projected changes to environmental conditions. Reservoirs form the heart of water resource assets. Long-range plans for the repair, replacement, maintenance and renovation of these facilities depend on accurate projections of reservoir pool elevations. Environmental conditions, in turn, dictate the magnitude and timing of inflows and outflows from reservoirs, and thus the resulting water surface elevation. This lesson explores the factors that affect reservoir pool elevation and the considerations and challeng ...

WMO Guidelines on the Calculation of Climate Normals
The focus of this document is on observations at surface meteorological observing stations. However, many of the principles will also be valid for other forms of observations, including upper-air observations and datasets based on mobile or remotely sensed platforms (for example, satellites, radar or drifting buoys). In particular, as many key remotely sensed datasets begin in the 1970s, it is recommended that, where feasible, the current climatological standard normal period (1981–2010 at the time of writing) be used for these datasets to allow comparison among different data forms on a consi ...
Analysis inter decadal of climate variability facing projections of the CMIP5 models and its involvement in the agricultural production of Venezuela
Agriculture is the largest employer in the world and is probably the most dependent on the climate of all human activities. In recent years there have been events that have put in evidence the vulnerability of global food security to major meteorological phenomena, both in global agricultural markets and the world economy. The food price crisis and the subsequent economic crisis reduced the purchasing power of large segments of the population in many developing countries, which seriously reduced their access to food and thus undermined their food security. During the years 2009 and 2010 in Ven ...
Climate change effect on wheat production over Ethiopia by model simulation and prediction
Climate is one of the key factors that affect agriculture. Climate change and climate variability have been observed, typically shown as global warming due to the increased greenhouse gases. The change in climate is even predicted to be rapped and sharp in recent future and the impacts of extreme climate condition associated with climate change will be high on agriculture. Studying the impacts of climate change, especially the effects of temperature and precipitation on agriculture, is important for food safety, agricultural management, and sustainable development.

Priority Needs for the Operationalization of the Global Framework for Climate Services (2016–2018)
The global community is rapidly putting in place measures to protect societies from adverse socioeconomic and environmental impacts caused by extreme weather-, climate- and water-related events, and also to take maximum advantage of any positive benefits of these changes that may exist. However, many projects are being undertaken in isolation, in the absence of mechanisms for alignment of the diverse efforts being made at project level, and without conforming to relevant international standards. This can result in duplication of efforts, which may prove unsustainable or ineffective in the long ...
WMO Statement on the state of the global climate in 2016
This latest report confirms that 2016 was the warmest year on record: a remarkable 1.1 °C above the pre-industrial period, which is 0.06 °C above the previous record set in 2015. This increase in global temperature is consistent with other changes in the climate system. Globally averaged sea-surface temperatures were also the warmest on record; global sea levels continued to rise; and Arctic sea-ice extent was well below average for most of the year.

Des composites des structures précipitantes au cours du cycle de vie du système nuageux organise sont alors construits en fusionnant les données des satellites géostationnaires avec des estimations de précipitations issues des mesures micro-ondes à bord des satellites défilant. L’objectif de ce travail est non se ...
Заявление ВМО о состоянии глобального климата в 2016 году
В настоящем отчете, последнем из этой серии, подтверждается, что 2016 год стал самым теплым в истории наблюдений: он был на 1,1 °С теплее доиндустриального периода, что является беспрецедентным, и на 0,06 °С теплее преды- дущего рекордного 2015 года. Такое повышение глобальной температуры соответствует другим изменениям в климатической системе. Глобально усредненные температуры поверхности моря также были самыми высокими за всю исто- рию наблюдений — глобальные уровни моря продолжали повышаться, а протяженность арктического морского льда была значительно ниже нормы в течение большей части года ...
Déclaration de l’OMM sur l’état du climat mondial en 2016
Le présent compte rendu confirme que l’année 2016 est la plus chaude qui ait jamais été enregistrée: la hausse de la température depuis l’époque préindustrielle atteint, chose remarquable, 1,1 °C, soit 0,06 °C de plus que le record précédent établi en 2015. Cette augmentation de la température moyenne s’inscrit dans la logique des autres changements intervenant dans le système climatique. Moyennées à l’échelle du globe, les températures de surface de la mer ont été elles aussi les plus élevées jamais constatées, la hausse du niveau moyen de la mer s’est poursuivie et l’étendue de la banquise a ...
Directives de l’OMM pour le calcul des normales climatiques
Le présent document traite avant tout des observations réalisées dans les stations météorologiques en surface. Toutefois, bon nombre des principes exposés ici s’appliquent également à d’autres formes de relevés, comme les observations aérologiques et les jeux de données obtenus à partir de plateformes mobiles ou de télédétection (satellites, radars ou bouées dérivantes par exemple). Comme les jeux de données obtenus par télédétection remontent le plus souvent jusqu'aux années 70, il est recommandé de leur appliquer, dans la mesure du possible, la période climatologique standard actuelle (1981- ...
WMO气候平均值计算指南
本文件侧重于地面气象观测站的观测资料。然而，许多原理同样适用于其它形式的观测资 料，包括基于移动或遥感平台（如卫星、雷达或漂流浮标）的高空观测资料和数据集。特 别是，鉴于许多关键遥感数据集始于20世纪70年代，因此，建议尽可能将目前的标准气候 平均期（1981–撰稿时的2010年）用于这些数据集，以使不同资料形式之间能够一致地进 行比较。许多原理还可用于包含位置或地区而不是地面气象观测站的不同数据集，例如面 积平均值或网格数据集中的点。
المبادئ التوجیھیة للمنظمة العالمیة للأرصاد الجویة بشأن حساب معدلات المناخ
المنظمة العالمية للأرصاد - المنظمة العالمية للأرصاد, 2017 (طبعة 2017; مجموعة مطبوعات المنظمة-No. 1203)تركز ھذه الوثیقة على الرصدات في محطات رصد الأحوال الجویة السطحیة. ومع ذلك، فإن العدید من المبادئ سوف یكون صالحاً أیضاً لأشكال أخرى من الرصدات، بما في ذلك رصدات الھواء العلوي ومجموعة البیانات القائمة على أساس منصات متنقلة أو مُستشعَرة عن بعد (على سبیل المثال، السواتل أو المحطات العائمة الراداریة أو المنساقة). وعلى وجھ الخصوص، بما أن العدید من مجموعات البیانات المُستشعَرة عن بعد یبدأ في السبعینات من القرن الماضي، فمن المستحسن أن تُستخدَم، حیثما أمكن، الفترة 2010 وقت كتابة ھذه الوثیقة) في مجموعات البیانات ھذه بما یسمح - المعدلات المناخیة القیاسیة الحالیة ( 1981 بإجراء مقارنة بین أشكال البیانات ال ...
Руководящие указания ВМО по расчету климатических норм
В настоящем документе основное внимание уделяется наблюдениям со станций приземных метеорологических наблюдений. Вместе с тем многие принципы также будут действительны для других форм наблюдений, включая аэрологические наблюдения и комплекты данных с мобильных платформ и платформ дистанционного зондирования (например, спутников, радиолокаторов или дрейфующих буев). В частности, в связи с тем, что многие основные комплекты данных дистанционного зондирования берут свое начало в 1970 х гг., рекомендуется по возможности использовать в отношении этих комплектов данных текущий период климатологическ ...
Directrices de la Organización Meteorológica Mundial sobre el cálculo de las normales climáticas
El presente documento se centra en las observaciones realizadas en estaciones meteorológicas de observación en superficie. Sin embargo, muchos de los principios expuestos también serán válidos para otras modalidades de observación, incluidas las observaciones en altitud y los conjuntos de datos basados en plataformas móviles o de teledetección (por ejemplo, satélites, sistemas de radar o boyas a la deriva). En particular, dado que numerosos conjuntos de datos de teledetección claves empezaron a elaborarse en el decenio de 1970, se recomienda, cuando ello sea viable, el uso del actual período d ...
