ETR, 24. A Compendium of Topics to Support Management Development in National Meteorological and Hydrological Services
The present compendium of topics for management development is intended to help a NMHS establish management development programmes that meet the needs and culture of the organization. The provision of curricular (i.e. aims, learning outcomes and content), briefing notes, sources of further reading and discussion topics should make it easier to establish a bespoke programme rather than having to start from scratch. Even if an external agency provides the components of a management development programme, having the compendium should make it easier to specify what should be included. Regional Tra ...

The present compendium of topics for management development is intended to help a NMHS establish management development programmes that meet the needs and culture of the organization. The provision of curricular (i.e. aims, learning outcomes and content), briefing notes, sources of further reading and discussion topics should make it easier to establish a bespoke programme rather than having to start from scratch. Even if an external agency provides the components of a management development programme, having the compendium should make it easier to specify what should be included. Regional Training Centres could also use the compendium as a basis for developing a management development programme that addresses the needs of the region it serves. Finally, the compendium could be used to decide what aspects of management development could be included in scientific and technical training courses.

Эти значения составляют соответственно 146 %, 257 % и 122 % по отношению к доиндустриальным (до 1750 года) уровням. Увеличение содержания CO2 в атмосфере с 2016 по 2017 год было менее значительным, чем увеличение, наблюдавшееся с 2015 по 2016 год, и практически равно темпам роста, наблюдавшимся за последнее десятилетие. Воздействие явления Эль-Ниньо, которое достигло пика в 2015 и 2016 годах и способствовало увеличению темпов в этот период, резко ослабло в 2017 году. Увеличение концентрации CH4 с 2016 по 2017 год было менее значительным, чем увеличение, наблюдавшееся с 2015 по 2016 год, но практически соответствовало средним показателям за последнее десятилетие. Увеличение концентрации N2O с 2016 по 2017 год было более значительным, чем в период с 2015 по 2016 год, и практически равно средним темпам роста за последние 10 лет. Годовой индекс парниковых газов (ГИПГ) НУОА [4] показывает, что в период с 1990 по 2017 год радиационное воздействие долгоживущих ПГ (ДПГ) увеличилось на 41 %, при этом на CO2 приходится около 82 % этого увеличения.

El aumento de CO2 de 2016 a 2017 fue inferior al observado de 2015 a 2016 y prácticamente igual a la tasa de aumento medio del último decenio. La influencia del episodio de El Niño, que registró su intensidad máxima en 2015 y 2016 y contribuyó a la aceleración de la tasa de aumento durante ese período, disminuyó drásticamente en 2017. El aumento de CH4 de 2016 a 2017 fue menor al observado de 2015 a 2016, pero casi igual a la media del último decenio. El incremento de N2O de 2016 a 2017 fue mayor que el observado de 2015 a 2016 y prácticamente igual a la tasa de aumento medio de los 10 últimos años. El índice anual de gases de efecto invernadero (AGGI) de la NOAA [4] muestra que entre 1990 y 2017 el forzamiento radiativo debido a los GEI de larga duración aumentó en un 41 %, al que el CO2 contribuyó en casi un 82 %.

L’influence de l’episode El Nino, qui a atteint une intensite maximale en 2015 et 2016 et favorise l’acceleration du rythme d’accroissement de ce gaz pendant cette periode, a nettement diminue en 2017. Comme pour le CO2, la teneur de l’atmosphere en CH4 a augmente plus lentement entre 2016 et 2017 qu’entre 2015 et 2016, mais a un rythme correspondant a peu pres a la moyenne des dix annees precedentes. Quant au taux d’accroissement du N2O entre 2016 et 2017, il etait superieur a celui observe de 2015 a 2016 et pratiquement egal a la moyenne des dix annees precedentes. Selon l’indice annuel d’accumulation des gaz a effet de serre dans l’atmosphere (AGGI) [4] publie par l’Administration americaine pour les oceans et l’atmosphere (NOAA), le forcage radiatif de l’atmosphere induit par les gaz a effet de serre persistants s’est accru de 41 % entre 1990 et 2017, le dioxyde de carbone etant a l’origine d’environ 82 % de cette augmentation.

Гидродинамический прогноза погоды на территории Гвинеи
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 ...

GAW Report, 239. Calibration Methods of GC-μECD for Atmospheric SF6 Measurements
SF6 is a substance which originates only from anthropogenic sources used primarily in the electricity and electronics supply industries, e.g. the semiconductor industry, where it is used as an electronic insulator due to its inertness. SF6 is a trace gas that exists in small quantities at the level of ppt (parts-per-trillion, 1/1012) in the atmosphere, but its global warming potential is 23,500 times greater than that of CO2 when compared over a 100-year period[1]. In particular, SF6 has an atmospheric lifetime of 3,200 years upon emission, and will eventually exacerbate the man-made greenhous ...
