A Proposed Long Term Resource Plan for Climate Data Management and Rescue Activities
In response to WMO’s Executive Council’s decision at its sixty-eighth session, June 2016 (Decision 39 (EC-68)) this paper presents a proposed resource plan for the sustainable support of climate data management systems (CDMS) and data rescue activities (the Plan). The initial focus in this Plan is on undertaking or supporting climate data rescue and CDMS implementation over the next five years, in developing and least-developed countries (D & LDC) that have recently expressed their need for assistance with securing and managing their data. Most of these countries are in Regions I, V and the In ...Published by: WMO ; 2017
In response to WMO’s Executive Council’s decision at its sixty-eighth session, June 2016 (Decision 39 (EC-68)) this paper presents a proposed resource plan for the sustainable support of climate data management systems (CDMS) and data rescue activities (the Plan). The initial focus in this Plan is on undertaking or supporting climate data rescue and CDMS implementation over the next five years, in developing and least-developed countries (D & LDC) that have recently expressed their need for assistance with securing and managing their data. Most of these countries are in Regions I, V and the Indian Ocean Region. Preliminary indicative costings per country over five years to implement these remedial actions have been developed, informed by actual and estimated costs for similar work carried out in Regions I and V. In addition, a number of engagement, collaboration and capacity-building actions that complement the financial investment and lay the groundwork for longer-term sustainability are also described.

Seasonal Forecast Course Package T.O.P.: Theory and Operational Principles
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 ...

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 specialise in seasonal forecasting. For this audience, the course package will provide theoretical and practical knowledge on seasonal forecast and predictability models, climate and data analysis, forecast verification, and specific application of seasonal forecast for agriculture and water management. This website is an online training package developed by the WMO Regional Training Center Italy, Institute of Biometeorology, CNR-National Research Council Rome, Italy, based on a series face-to-face-to-face courses delivered from 2014-17, and provided via a structured website.

Challenges 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 ...PermalinkPermalink![]()

Desafíos 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 ...Permalink![]()

L’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.

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 ...Permalink![]()

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 ...Permalink
