Путь к предоставлению климатического обслуживания странам СИДС
Бюллетень, Том 64(2). BMO, 2016Страны Карибского и Тихоокеанского бассейнов и Малые островные развивающиеся государства (СИДС) чрезвычайно уязвимы к воздействию опасных гидроме- теорологических явлений. Предполагается, что в бли- жайшие годы изменение климата будет способствовать увеличению частоты и интенсивности таких явлений на этих островах, при этом их уязвимость повысится также в связи с нарушением экосистем и уничтожением источников существования. Поэтому, пытаясь повысить устойчивость к экстремальным метеорологическим явлениям и пагубным воздействиям изменения кли- мата, Всемирный метеорологический конгресс в июне о ...

Конкурс «Полярный вызов»: расширение границ наблюдений в целях исследования климата и обслуживания
Бюллетень, Том 64(2). BMO, 2016Криосфера является основным индикатором глобального изменения климата и играет существенную роль в клима- тической системе. Несмотря на успехи в области числен- ного моделирования, надежность долгосрочных прогнозов изменения климата в Арктике и Антарктике существенно ограничена недостатком систематических наблюдений in situ за морским льдом и подледной областью. По этой причине Всемирная программа исследований климата (ВПИК)1 и Фонд Принца Монако Альберта II спонсируют конкурс «Полярный вызов (Polar Challenge)»2, победителем которого станет группа, первой выполнившая программу измерений с испо ...

Почему наличие доступа к качественным климатическим данным имеет значение?
На всем протяжении истории человечества погодные условия оказывали большое влияние на рост торговли и населения. Однако в мире, переживающем изменение климата, прошлые предположения относительно погоды больше не имеют под собой почвы. Местные, региональ- ные и национальные правительства, а также предприятия пытаются справиться с ролью органов, принимающих решения. Лицам и органам, принимающим решения как в частном, так и государственном секторе нужна доступная, надежная и актуальная климатическая инфор- мация, чтобы повысить устойчивость к воздействию более интенсивных и частых экстремальных я ...

Климатическое обслуживание сектора энергетики: новая приоритетная область ГРОКО
Энергетические системы являются двигателем эконо- мического и социального развития. Их вклад образует значительную часть ВВП любой страны. Несомненно, энергетика жизненно необходима для всех аспектов благосостояния человека, включая доступ к воде, сельскохозяйственное производство, здравоохранение, образование, создание рабочих мест и устойчивость окружающей среды. Кроме того, на выбросы пред- приятий энергетического сектора, таких как выбросы CO2, приходится наибольшая доля глобальных антро- погенных выбросов парниковых газов (ПГ). Ожидается, что достижение целевых показателей по сокращению в ...

Climate Predictability in the Stratosphere
In order to accurately predict the day-to-day evolution of weather systems, one needs a detailed description of the initial state of the atmosphere. A good picture of the actual atmospheric conditions is therefore required. Predictability of the atmosphere associated with its initial state is, however, limited to approximately 10 days. Beyond this limit, only statistical properties of atmospheric conditions can be predicted. Of these, the mean state of the atmosphere over some period of time and the probability of extreme weather events are perhaps the most relevant for society.

Surveillance des concentrations de carbone et de l’acidifi cation des océans
Bulletin, Vol. 64(1). OMM, 2016La concentration atmosphérique de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) a augmenté de 42 % depuis le début de l’ère industrielle à cause des émissions provenant de l’exploitation des combustibles fossiles, de la production de ciment et des changements d’aff ectation des terres (Bulletin de l’OMM sur les gaz à eff et de serre, N° 10). En 2010, on estime que les océans du globe avaient déjà absorbé 155 ± 30 pétagrammes (Pg) (1 pétagramme = 1015 g) de CO2 anthropique (Khatiwala et al., 2013), soit 28 % des émissions totales de CO2.

Ocean Acidification
The chemistry of the world’s oceans is changing. Ocean acidity is creeping upward, a result of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide. The added carbon dioxide depletes seawater of carbonate, a chemical constituent of minerals that form the shells and structures of animals including corals, molluscs, plankton, and others. The accelerating impacts are expected to reverberate through the marine food web. Most people are unaware of ocean acidification and its expected impacts. This lesson will educate policy makers and university students about its causes and consequences. The lesson explains the chem ...

Ocean, climate and weather: the role of the World Meteorological Organization
When it comes to the weather, most of us think only about what is happening in the atmosphere. If we ignore the ocean, however, we miss a big piece of the picture: covering some 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is a major driver of the world’s weather and climate. The ocean is also a major driver of the global economy, carrying more than 90 per cent of world trade and sustaining the 40 per cent of humanity that lives within 100 km of the coast. Recognizing this, national weather agencies and researchers regularly monitor the ocean, model how it affects the atmosphere and deliver m ...

Weather, Climate and Hydrological services: how WMO supports the 2030 agenda for sustainable development
Weather, climate and water can either disrupt sustainable development or advance it. The providers of weather, climate, hydrological, marine and related environmental services therefore have a critical role to play in assisting countries to implement the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). High-quality meteorological services empower decision-makers to better manage agriculture, public health, water resources, energy production, transportation and other sectors that are critical for national development.
