El Niño at a glance
A scientific introduction to the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, with special focus on implications for climate prediction and disaster preparedness. This 8-page brochure traces El Niño from its first observation and presents a detailed account of the noteworthy 1997-98 event. Issued in connection with World Water Day 2004.
Water and disasters: be informed and be prepared
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) - WMO, 2004 (WMO-No. 971)To reduce the risk due to water-related disasters, the watchword is to “be informed and be prepared”. Information must flow between global and local, between traditional and modern,
between the village and the boardroom, between scientists and decision makers. This booklet is an attempt in that direction, and it is hoped that national governments and all those concerned by the issue will find it useful and informative.
L'eau et les catastrophes : être informé et préparé
Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM); Stratégie Internationale pour la Prévention des Catastrophes (SIPC) - OMM, 2004 (OMM-No. 971)Pour réduire le risque de catastrophes liées à l’eau, il faut avant tout être informé et préparé. L’information doit se transmettre du niveau mondial au niveau local, de la sphère traditionnelle au monde moderne, du village à la salle du conseil d’administration, des scientifiques aux décideurs. La présente brochure a été conçue dans cette optique, et nous espérons que les gouvernements et tous ceux qui s’intéressent à ces questions la trouveront utile et instructive.

Operational hydrology report (OHR), 30. Hydrological aspects of combined effects of storm surges and heavy rainfall on river flow
This report is concerned with the flood hydrology of the lower reaches of rivers where sea level can influence flood levels. It is the outcome of two reports, one on hydrological aspects of the combined effects of storm surge and heavy rainfall on river flow, and the other on the frequency of flooding in rivers subject to sea-storm surges and rainfall-induced floods. At the instigation of the Commission for Hydrology the reports were combined and further expanded to include guidance material on flood modelling in tidal areas and material on forecasting centres.
World Weather Watch, WMO Tropical Cyclone Project, Sub-project No.6 - Information on meteorological and other environmental satellites
The main part of this volume gives detailed information on the methods that may be used for forecasting the track, development and changes in intensity of tropical cyclones. Empirical, statistical and dynamical techniques are considered in each case. There is a section on the verification of tropical cyclone forecasts.

Tropical Cyclone Forecaster Website
This website of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is aimed to serve as a platform for the information sources for tropical cyclone forecasters to obtain data and tools which are useful for monitoring and forecasting of tropical cyclones. Forecasters may access the various sources providing conventional and specialized data/products including those from numerical predictions and remote sensing observations as well as forecasting tools concerning tropical cyclone development, motion, intensification and wind distribution. It will continue to develop along with the availability of new ...
Tropical Cyclone Forecaster Website
Development of the Tropical Cyclone Forecaster Website was under the WMO TCP Sub-Project No. 24 which was established in response to a recommendation from IWTC-IV (Haikou, Hainan, China, 1998) and IWTC-V (Cairns, Australia, 2002).
The Purpose or Objective of the Web site was to provide a plaform that will serve as a source that tropical cyclone forecasters can access to obtain forecasting tools concerning tropical cyclone development, motion, intensification, wind distribution, and analysis using both conventional data sources and remote sensing sources. It will contain techniques and b ...
