Introduction to Climate Change: lecture notes for meteorologists
This compendium provides material on the science of climate change, assuming that students already have the basic understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics and relevant physical processes in the atmosphere. Although designed as training material, it also attempts to respond to the needs for monitoring climate change, to help governing bodies to understand the scientific issues and to provide information to the general public.

Observing the world's environment: weather, climate and water
Written for the non-specialist, the booklet documents the importance placed by world leaders at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (Rio de Janeiro) on reliable national and global observational systems for the key components of the environment. It emphasizes the achievements of WMO programmes but also points out some shortcomings, particularly as regards measuring variations and changes in a global climate system under stress. New cooperative initiatives within the United Nations family such as the Global Climate Observing System and the World Hydrological Cycle Observing Sy ...
