Institute of Biometeorology (IBIMET) ; World Meteorological Organization (WMO) - CNR-National Research Council"Seasonal Forecast Course Package T.O.P." is a set of online resources whose goal is to enhance knowledge in the theory of seasonal forecasting and operational use of seasonal climate forecasts. The course package has two audiences. The first is training institutions, to facilitate development of additional training courses. The materials and documentations here collected represent the building blocks of a course based on validated contents and user needs. It can also be used by national hydro-meteorological service staff members who wish to improve their climate services competencies or to sp ...EnglishDesafíos en la transición de las redes de observaciones meteorológicas convencionales a las automáticas en registros climáticos a largo plazo
Ya se han publicado las Directrices para la gestión de las modificaciones en los programas de observación del clima, que incluyen un conjunto de prácticas recomendadas conforme a las cuales pueden gestionarse dichas modificaciones (OMM, 2007). La presente nota orientativa se centrará en las EMA que probablemente formarán parte de registros climáticos de largo plazo. En general, serán de propiedad de los SMHN u organismos conexos, o a veces de terceros (por ejemplo, organismos de aviación, agricultura o transporte por carretera) de conformidad con las normas adoptadas por los SMHN. La experienc ...Spanish, English; FrenchL’automatisation des réseaux d’observation météorologique et ses répercussions sur la surveillance à long terme du climat
L’OMM a déjà publié des directives assorties de pratiques recommandées pour la gestion des changements apportés aux programmes d’observation du climat (OMM, 2007). La présente publication met l’accent sur les SMA qui seront probablement utilisées pour l’établissement de relevés climatologiques sur le long terme. Ces stations seront en principe détenues par des SMHN ou des organismes qui leur sont associés, voire par des tiers (organismes opérant dans les secteurs de l’aviation, de l’agriculture ou du transport routier par exemple), selon des modalités approuvées par les SMHN. L’expérience mont ...French, English; SpanishChallenges in the Transition from Conventional to Automatic Meteorological Observing Networks for Long-term Climate Records
Guidelines for managing changes in climate observation programmes, with a set of recommended practices by which such changes can be managed, have already been published (WMO, 2007). This guidance note will focus on those AWSs likely to form part of long-term climate records. These will normally be owned by NMHSs or associated agencies, or sometimes by third parties (such as aviation, agriculture or road transport agencies) under standards endorsed by the NMHSs. Experience shows that private AWSs can be useful for some climate purposes (such as providing information on individual local-scale ex ...English, French; SpanishIntegrating data rescue into the classroom

El presente documento técnico es una actualización de la publicación WMO/TD-No. 1210, WCDMP-55, Guidelines on Climate Data Rescue (2004) (Directrices sobre el rescate de datos climáticos). Se basa en las directrices originales, pero, al mismo tiempo, en él se tienen en cuenta tanto los cambios tecnológicos surgidos a lo largo de los 12 años transcurridos como las enseñanzas extraídas de actividades de rescate de datos climáticos más recientes llevadas a cabo en todo el mundo. Se presenta un panorama general del rescate de datos, y en los diversos capítulos se abordan cuestiones como su importa ...Spanish, French; EnglishDirectives sur les bonnes pratiques en matière de sauvetage des données climatologiques Édition 2016 OMM-N°
Le présent document technique résulte de la mise à jour de la publication intitulée Guidelines on Climate Data Rescue (2004) (WMO/TD-1210, WCDMP-55). Il prend en compte l’évolution de la technologie depuis douze ans et tire les enseignements des opérations de sauvetage des données les plus récentes menées dans le monde. On y trouvera une présentation générale du concept de sauvetage des données, suivie de chapitres consacrés à l’importance de cette activité, à l’archivage des supports d’origine, à leur numérisation en mode image, à la numérisation des données et à l’archivage des images et des ...French, Spanish; EnglishGuidelines on Best Practices for Climate Data Rescue
This technical document is an update of WMO/TD-1210, WCDMP-55, Guidelines on Climate Data Rescue (2004). It builds on the original Guidelines, while taking into account both changes in technology that have occurred in the intervening 12 years and lessons learned in more recent climate data rescue activities around the world. An overview of data rescue is presented with chapters on its importance, archiving original media, imaging, digitization and archiving digital images and digital data. Twelve appendices provide supporting information.
The Guidelines on Climate Data Rescue are intend ...English, Spanish; FrenchWCDMP, 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 ...EnglishWCDMP, 83. IDARE White Paper
Congress during its sixteenth session in 2011 welcomed the decision of the Commission for Climatology during its fifteenth session in 2010 for improving WMO Climate System Monitoring including related methodologies and dissemination of monitoring reports for timely information on extreme weather and climate events occurring on large scale and having high socioeconomic impacts. A brochure called "Assessment of the observed extreme conditions during the 2009/2010 boreal winter" was published by WMO in 2010 and is now followed by this supplement to the WMO annual statement on the status of the g ...EnglishClimate Data Management System Specifications
This publication establishes a framework defining the functionality required within a climate data management system (CDMS). A CDMS is an integrated computer-based system that facilitates the effective archival, management, analysis, delivery and utilization of a wide range of integrated climate data.EnglishFinnish National Report on Systematic Observations for Climate : National Activities with Respect to the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Implementation Plan
Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) ; United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) - 2013Finland continues its efforts in carrying out, archiving and distributing the most reliable and sustainable systematic observations related to various climate variables. These atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial observations are based on the regulations of corresponding international organizations. The implementation of systematic observations in Finland is tabulated in this report, which was made in accordance with the revised United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Reporting Guidelines on Global Climate Change Observing Systems (2007).
