Disaster Risk Reduction Programme (DRR)
Disaster risk reduction is at the core of the mission of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of its 188 Members. WMO, through its scientific and technical programmes, its network of Global Meteorological Centres and Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres, and the NMHSs, provides scientific and technical services. This includes observing, detecting, monitoring, predicting and early warning of a wide range of weather–, climate- and water-related hazards. Through a coordinated approach, and working with its partners, ...
Joint WMO/ IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) - WMOWorldwide marine meteorological and oceanographic communities are working in partnership under the umbrella of the WMO-IOC Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology, in order to respond to interdisciplinary requirements for met/ocean observations, data management and service products.
Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (CAgM)
As one of the eight technical commissions of WMO, the Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (CAgM) provides guidance in the field of agricultural meteorology by studying and reviewing the available science and technology; proposes international standards for methods, procedures; provides a forum for the examination and resolution of relevant scientific and technical issues; promotes the training and the transfer of knowledge and methodologies, including the results of research, between WMO Members; and promotes international cooperation and maintains close cooperation in scientific and techn ...
Public Weather Services Programme (PWSP)
The purpose of the WMO Public Weather Services Programme (PWSP) is to strengthen the capabilities of WMO Members to meet the needs of society through provision of comprehensive weather services, with a particular emphasis on public safety and welfare, and to foster a better understanding by the public of the capabilities of their respective National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs), and how best to use the services that NMHSs deliver.
