The WMO EC-68 approved the Competency framework for climate services to help NMHSs and other institutions to deliver high-quality climate services in compliance with WMO standards and regulations, specifically those defined by the Standing Committee on Climate Services (SC-CLI) and the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS).
WMO Technical Regulations and Guides describe in more detail the practices, procedures and specifications that Members are expected to follow or implement in establishing their arrangements in compliance with the Technical Regulations, and in otherwise developing their meteorological and climatological services. This publication is based on the WMO Guide on Competency (WMO-No 1205) and the WMO Guidelines for Trainers in Meteorological, Hydrological and Climate Services (WMO-No. 1114) and intends to provide support for those organizations of the member states looking after the implementation of such a process. Both the learning outcomes and the competencies assessment process are meant to be adapted to meet the specific national and organizational requirements.Collection(s) and Series: WMO- No. 1285

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

Guidelines on Communicating Climate Science and Services (WMO-No. 1288)
This Guidance to Communicating Climate Science and Services emerges from the experiences of the WMO Expert Team on Capacity Development and Communications, Task Team on Communications. This publication recommends approaches for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) to use as they continue to build their climate services. These approaches are supported by a wide breadth of materials, from peer-reviewed papers, technical reports, to committee meeting notes, by a deep depth of understanding from experts worldwide, and by a long length of experience in climate services within NM ...

Published by: WMO ; 2022This Guidance to Communicating Climate Science and Services emerges from the experiences of the WMO Expert Team on Capacity Development and Communications, Task Team on Communications. This publication recommends approaches for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) to use as they continue to build their climate services. These approaches are supported by a wide breadth of materials, from peer-reviewed papers, technical reports, to committee meeting notes, by a deep depth of understanding from experts worldwide, and by a long length of experience in climate services within NMHS. The volume of knowledge created by the three dimensions—the breadth of material, depth of expertise, and length of experience--are captured in the Bibliography. This Guidance encapsulates and outlines the most salient points in an easy-to-read manual that can be used as a handy reference for success in communicating climate services.
