Economic benefits of climatological services
The former WMO Commission for Climatology, now the WMO Commission for Special Applications of Meteorology and Climatology, appointed, at its fifth session (Geneva, 1969), Dr. R. Berggren (Sweden) as Rapporteur on Economic Benefits of Climatological Services. He was requested, inter alia, to collect and summarize information on methods and results of évaluations of économie benefits from the application of climatological information to various human activities. In his capacity as Rapporteur of the Commission for Climatology, Dr. Berggren was also a member of the Executive Committee Panel on Met ...
Climatological aspects of the composition and pollution of the atmosphere
This report offers some practical guidelines on the processing and use of regular surface and upper-air observations in terms of their climatological influence on transport and diffusion of air pollutants. The concept of a meteorological potential for air pollution is discussed. An attempt was made to include examples of pertinent climatological data for various parts of the world but in fact the data are limited to temperate and northern latitudes of the northern hemisphere. There is a paucity of available meteorological studies relative to air pollution in the tropics, which, unfortunately, ...
Review of urban Climatology 1968-1973
This publication reviews developments in the field of urban climatology since the Symposium on Urban Climates and Building Climatology held at Brussels in 1968 under the joint sponsorship of the World Health Organization and WMO. During this relatively short period of time the importance of understanding the atmospheric environment of human settlements has become increasingly apparent and the amount of research has greatly expanded. The review is in two parts. The first part deals mainly with observational studies. This begins with a look at work aimed at elucidating the nature of the fundamen ...
Climate under glass
In recent years greenhouse climatology has become a special branch of research in agricultural meteorology. The results of climatological investigations in greenhouses should indicate to the agriculturalist the meteorological conditions at his disposal for the cultivation of certain crops at any lime of the year, and the possibilities of using special techniques for controlling the growth of plants. The greenhouse gives him the opportunity of creating the proper conditions for the plants irrespective of the outside weather, and this provides the farmer/gardener with an all-the-year-round means ...
The Assessment of Human bioclimate : a limited review of physical parameters
Maintenance of stability in the human body in relation to the atmospheric environment by physiological or technological adjustments is essential for human survival in many parts of the Earth. The capability to adapt by acclimatization is limited. Various indices have been developed to assess the effects of heat and cold on human beings. Some are quite complex and include ail elements of the energy balance. They require measurements not generally ma de by meteorological services. But at the cold end the simple factors of wind chill (a combination of temperature and wind speed) or cooling power ...
Étude des conditions climatiques de l'avance du Sahara tunisien = Investigations on the climatic conditions of the advancement of the Tunisian Sahara
Depuis quelque temps, on prend conscience du fait que l'intensification des activités agricoles dans la zone semi-aride de la Tunisie limitrophe du désert saharien a modifié les conditions naturelles, et l'on soupçonne certaines de ces modifications d'avoir un caractère permanent. Dans le présent rapport, le professeur Flohn rend compte de l'étude qu'il a faite en 1970 en vue d'analyser les facteurs significatifs du bilan hydrique de cette région.
It has been recognized for some tinte that increasing agricultural activities in the semi-arid boundary zone of the Sahara Déser ...

World Climate Impact Assessment and Response Strategies Programme (WCIRP)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); et al. - WMOWorld Climate Impacts Assessment and Response Strategies Programme (WCIRP) is one of the WCP four sub-programs and is targeted at assessing the impacts of climate variability and changes that could markedly affect economic or social activities and thus contributing to the development of a range of socio-economic response strategies that could be used by governments and the community. UNEP is the leading agency within WCIRP and implements the programme in partnership with WMO, FAO, IPCC and UNFCCC Secretariats.
World Climate Data and Monitoring Programme (WCDMP)
The World Climate Data and Monitoring Programme (WCDMP), a sub-program of the World Climate Programme (WCP), provides an international coordination of the WMO Climate System Monitoring. Priorities of WCDMP include the provision of guidance to the WMO Members in the area of climate data and climate assessment and monitoring; and the publication and dissemination of WMO authoritative reports on the status of the global climate. WCDMP offers in parallel a platform for an international collaboration for fostering high quality climate data sets and their exchange and undertaking capacity building a ...
World Climate Applications and Services Programme (WCASP)
The World Climate Applications and Services Programme (WCASP) fosters the effective application of climate knowledge and information for the benefit of society and the provision of climate services, including the prediction of significant climate variations both natural and as a result of human activity.
Commission for Climatology (CCl)
The Commission for Climatology advises and guides the activities of the World Climate Programme, through the World Climate Applications and Services Programme, and the World Climate Data and Monitoring Programmewhile providing support to many activities under the framework of the Climate Agenda.
World Climate Programme (WCP)
The World Climate Programme (WCP) is an authoritative international scientific programme whose goals are to improve understanding of the climate system and to apply that understanding for the benefit of societies coping with climate variability and change. The World Climate Programme was established following the staging of the First World Climate Conference in Geneva, Switzerland in February 1979.
The World Climate Programme acts as an integrating and catalytic agent to initiate and coordinate activities in the areas of climate data collection, climate research, applications and train ...
