MMO Series, 04. Maritime Forecasting, Meteorology and WMO: History and Evolution
Maritime Forecasting, Meteorology and WMO: History and Evolution traces the history of marine meteorology. In particular, it looks at the introduction of “maritime safety information”, the establishment of METAREAs globally, the development of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Worldwide Met-Ocean Information and Warning Service and their place in the IMO Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.

Maritime Forecasting, Meteorology and WMO: History and Evolution traces the history of marine meteorology. In particular, it looks at the introduction of “maritime safety information”, the establishment of METAREAs globally, the development of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Worldwide Met-Ocean Information and Warning Service and their place in the IMO Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.
The International Maritime Conference in Brussels in 1853 resulted in initial steps for standardization in the making and recording of weather and ocean observations, and also led to the First International Meteorological Congress in Vienna in 1873. This Congress ultimately led to establishment of the International Meteorological Organization – the forerunner of WMO.
This paper acknowledges and builds on several WMO Bulletin articles (Hontarrède, 1998, No. 47(1); Shearman, 2003, No. 52(1); Savina, 2006, No. 55(2); Dexter and Parker, 2009, No. 58(2)), emphasizing significant progress in meteorological maritime safety distribution since then.Collection(s) and Series: WMO MMO Series- No. 04

Guidance on Environmental Flows : Integrating E-flow Science with Fluvial Geomorphology to Maintain Ecosystem Services
Fluvial systems provide a wide range of necessary services for human society to thrive on. These are the so-called ecosystem services: food, drinking water, natural flood mitigation, energy and so forth. Such services are linked to an appropriate level of functionality of fluvial processes, which can be accounted for in terms of ecological objectives. These ecological objectives in watercourses can be reached only if appropriate flow and sediment regimes and related quality of channel morphology are guaranteed. The establishment and maintenance of such flow regimes, namely environmental flows ...

SatFC-J: The AMSR2 Microwave Imager
This short lesson describes the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) on board the next-generation polar-orbiting satellite platforms. AMSR2’s primary mission is to improve scientists’ understanding of climate by providing estimates of precipitation, water vapor, cloud water, wind velocity, sea surface temperature, sea ice concentration, snow depth, and soil moisture. AMSR2 also advances weather forecasting through real-time imagery, value-added products, and input to numerical weather prediction. This lesson is part of the Satellite Foundational Course for JPSS (SatFC-J).

The comparison of SWH from ocean wave spectra and nadir beam of SWIM
The surface wave investigation and monitoring (SWIM) will be one of the two payload instruments carried by China France Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT) with a planned launch date in mid-2018. SWIM has six beams rotating around the vertical axis at incidence angles 0,2,4,6,8,10 degree. With nadir-beam, the SWH and wind speed can be detected as the same principle as an altimeter. At the same time, the ocean wave spectrum beams can also Catch the significant wave height (SWH). To find which SWH is more stable and accurate, first, the thesis presents an overview of SWH detection from a satellite. ...

GESAMP - Reports and Studies, 97. The magnitude and impacts of anthropogenic atmospheric nitrogen inputs to the ocean
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); et al. - WMO, 2018The present global modelling study of the Nr atmospheric cycle and Nr deposition to the ocean is the first that evaluates past, present and future Nr atmospheric deposition accounting for ON primary sources as well as for secondary ON chemical formation as a N-dependent process. While the total Nr deposition to the ocean is not expected to change significantly by 2050, the relative importance of oxidized and reduced N is expected to change, with an increasing proportion of ammonium compared to nitrate, resulting from more efficient controls on terrestrial emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) com ...

Guide de l'assistance météorologique aux activités maritimes
La connaissance des conditions météorologiques tient depuis toujours une place essentielle en matière de sécurité et d’efficacité appliquées aux activités maritimes, notamment le transport et la pêche. Au début du XXe siècle, avec l'apparition de la télégraphie sans fil, il devient possible d'établir des communications régulières entre les navires et la côte; c’est le commencement des émissions météorologiques pour la navigation maritime. La première Convention internationale pour la sauvegarde de la vie humaine en mer (Convention SOLAS) préconisait que la radiodiffusion de renseignements mété ...

Basic Satellite Imagery Interpretation
This lesson teaches the basics of satellite image interpretation to forecasters, meteorology students, and other interested learners, with an emphasis on the African region. It begins by briefly describing visible, infrared, and water vapour channels, as well as RGBs and derived products. From there, it teaches learners how to interpret clouds and surface features using various channels and products. This sets the stage for the final section, where learners practice identifying features using assorted imagery and products. The lesson uses Meteosat Second Generation imagery over Africa and, to ...

Dam Failure Concepts and Modeling
This lesson provides an in-depth case study to illustrate principles of dam failure modeling and examines some of the critical data inputs and outputs. Output is provided from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS model for simulated failures of a large dam. Several simulations are presented that show the impact from varying the size of the breach and the time it takes the breach to fully develop. The lesson also summarizes several infamous large dam failures from around the world and the impacts from other factors are such as reservoir shape and size, the age of the dam, and the material u ...
