Good practice guidelines for water data management policy : world water data initiative
Bureau of Meteorology ; World Meteorological Organization (WMO) - Australian Bureau of Meteorology, 2017These guidelines acknowledge that it is difficult to gather support for and then prosecute actions that are disruptive to the status quo and requiring considerable public investment. It is stressed that planning the water data reform journey is every bit as challenging as implementing the reforms themselves. Accordingly, these guidelines conclude with a recommended series of steps to get started in reforming water data management arrangements. Guidance is provided for (1) taking stock of current policy settings, (2) preparing the case for reform, (3) positioning for effective implementation an ...

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 ...

Sauvetage, archivage et conservation des données météorologiques
Les dépôts de données et les centres d’archivage sont des sources essentielles de données d’observation utilisées pour l’étude du temps et du climat. Après avoir été compilées sur papier pendant plus de deux siècles, les données d’observation sont depuis 20 ans recueillies surtout sous forme électronique. Les dépôts de données répartis dans le monde entier contiennent aujourd’hui un mélange de données stockées sur des supports physiques – par exemple, papier et microfi lms – et sur des supports numériques comme les disquettes informatiques, les bandes magnétiques et les DVD. Peu importe le sup ...
Guide to Information Technology Security
The purpose of this publication is to provide the reader with a broad overview of the main information technology security (ITS) components and procedures.

GAW Report, 226. Coupled Chemistry-Meteorology/ Climate Modelling (CCMM): status and relevance for numerical weather prediction, atmospheric pollution and climate research
Online coupled meteorology atmospheric chemistry models have undergone a rapid evolution in recent years. Although mainly developed by the air quality modelling community, these models are also of interest for numerical weather prediction and climate modelling as they can consider not only the effects of meteorology on air quality, but also the potentially important effects of atmospheric composition on weather. This report provides the main conclusions from the Symposium on “Coupled Chemistry-Meteorology/Climate Modelling: Status and Relevance for Numerical Weather Prediction, Air Quality and ...

Why Does Access to Good Climate Data Matter?
Over the course of human history, weather patterns have greatly influenced the growth of commerce and communities. But in a world experiencing climate change, past assumptions about the weather no longer hold true. Local, regional and national governments, as well as businesses, are grappling with their role as decision-makers. Climate data may be available but it is often hard to find, understand and apply to decision-making. Both private and public sector decision-makers need accessible, credible and relevant climate information to increase resilience to the more intense and frequent weather ...

Rescue, Archive and Stewardship of Weather Records and Data
Data repositories and archives play a critical role as the source for the observational data used in the study of weather and climate. After over two centuries of recording observations on paper, observations in the last 20 years have mostly been collected digitally. Repositories around the world now have a mix of data on physical media, such as paper and microfilm, and digital media such as computer disks, magnetic tapes and DVDs. There is risk of data loss regardless of storage media. Repositories must identify, appraise, acquire, archive and migrate data to new technologies to make it avail ...
WCDMP, 84. Eighth Seminar for Homogenization and Quality Control in Climatological Databases and Third Conference on Spatial Interpolation Techniques in Climatology and Meteorology
The 8th Homogenization Seminar and the 3rd Conference on Spatial Interpolation were organized together considering certain theoretical and practical respects. Theoretically there is a strong connection between these topics since the homogenization and quality control procedures need spatial statistics and interpolation techniques for spatial comparison of data. On the other hand the spatial interpolation procedures (e.g. gridding) need homogeneous data series with high quality. Practically the CARPATCLIM project that was launched in 2010 and ended in 2013 is a good example for this problem. Th ...

School of Economics and Finance Working paper, 08/2015. Natural disasters and climate change in the Pacific island countries : new non-monetary measurements of impacts
In this article, the author tabulates and measures the burden of disasters on the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) by aggregating and comparing the data found in the two global datasets on disaster impacts.
The paper shows that the most commonly used dataset greatly underestimates the burden of disasters for the Pacific islands. Next, it describes a new index that aggregates disaster impacts, calculates this index for the PICs, and then compares the burden of disasters for the island countries of the Pacific with the island countries of the Caribbean. This comparison demonstrates ...

Trouver un boson de Higgs dans une botte de foin
Comme l’a montré l’article qui précède, la météorologie augmente rapidement sa capacité de gérer et de distribuer le volume croissant de données et d’informations produites par les Membres de l’OMM et diverses organisations. Il va de soi que d’autres branches scientifiques et techniques cherchent, elles aussi, le meilleur moyen de structurer d’énormes quantités de données. Et comme l’OMM, elles relèvent ce défi en mettant à profit l’expansion du réseau Internet, l’augmentation de la puissance des ordinateurs et l’affinement des logiciels.12

The need for multiple types of information to inform climate change assessment
Toman Mickael - World Bank, 2014Information on ecosystem characteristics as well as economic statistics is needed to more fully inform decision makers on the impacts of climate change on human well-being. Climate change risks involve potentially large and irreversible as well as highly uncertain impacts that need to be evaluated with information that complements cost-benefit analysis. Information on the irreversibility of impacts also is relevant for evaluating implications for intergenerational equity. In addition, climate change is subject to a large degree of Knightian uncertainty, making it useful to understand how indiv ...

Valuing Investments In Data Processing and Forecasting Systems - The Implications of the KMA Experience
The three main operational components of daily weather production systems are real-time observing and data collection, routine global exchange of data and information and the systematic operational processing of data to produce meteorological analyses, numerical weather predictions (NWP) and weather forecasts and warnings. Thus, these three components – the Global Observing System (GOS), the WMO Information System (WIS), and the Global Data-processing and Forecasting System (GDPFS) – have formed the backbone of the World Weather Watch (WWW) System.

Using ICT and social media in disasters: opportunities and risks for government
This report examines four different issue areas to analyze how social media is used in the context of risk and crisis communication, using hurricane Sandy as an example. These areas include: public safety and preparedness; emergency warnings, alerts and requests for assistance; recovery efforts; and, finally, monitoring and situational awareness. In the context of each of these areas, the report highlights the key literature and real-life examples to explore the risks vs. opportunities in the utility of social media. These four areas capture the role of engagement and strategy in both the risk ...
