Commission for Basic Systems and Commission for Instruments and Methods of Observation : Workshop on Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for Operational Meteorology
The workshop presentations included research organizations and NMHS experts discussing the challenges and successes experienced using UAVs in field campaigns collecting data in support of environmental and meteorological applications. The challenges included airspace use regulations and technical capabilities of the UAVs. UAV industry representatives spoke to the workshop audience on the types and capabilities of UAVs and about their collaboration in field campaigns with research organizations and NMHS represented at the workshop.

Published by: WMO ; 2019The workshop presentations included research organizations and NMHS experts discussing the challenges and successes experienced using UAVs in field campaigns collecting data in support of environmental and meteorological applications. The challenges included airspace use regulations and technical capabilities of the UAVs. UAV industry representatives spoke to the workshop audience on the types and capabilities of UAVs and about their collaboration in field campaigns with research organizations and NMHS represented at the workshop. IATA and other experts informed the workshop audience of the various national and international airspace regulations.
The plenary sessions focused on the potential and requirements for operational use of UAVs and whether NMHS would operate UAVs or form partnerships with private/public companies and organizations to acquire the UAV data. The WICAP financial framework of cost sharing amongst multiple countries in one or more WMO regions was presented as a model for cost sharing if UAV data was purchased from private companies. The workshop closed after identifying key outcomes, recommendations, and future activities.Language(s): English

La primera edición de la Guía de Instrumentos y Métodos de Observación Meteorológicos (OMM-Nº 8) se publicó en 1954 […].
La presente Guía es un recurso fundamental que describe la mayoría de los instrumentos, los sistemas y las técnicas utilizados regularmente, desde los más sencillos hasta los más complejos y sofisticados, pero no pretende abordar los métodos e instrumentos que se utilizan únicamente con fines de investigación. Tiene por objeto presentar las mejores prácticas, los procedimientos y las capacidades básicas de los instrumentos y sistemas a fin de ayudar a los Servicios Meteorológicos e Hidrológicos Nacionales y a otros usuarios interesados que operan sistemas de observación a elaborar sus manuales y procedimientos, con miras a satisfacer sus necesidades específicas de mediciones y observaciones. En la Guía, la normalización se circunscribe de manera intencional a los requisitos esenciales únicamente, y las recomendaciones se limitan a las características generales más comunes de las diversas configuraciones de un instrumento o sistema de medición, lo que permite un mayor desarrollo en diversos ámbitos. La Guía es el documento de referencia para todas las cuestiones relacionadas con los instrumentos y los métodos de observación en el marco del WIGOS.Notes: Otros partes actualizados en preparación. - Online archive available for logged-in users.

气象仪器与观测方法指南
《WMO 气象仪器和观测方法指南》(WMO-No.8)第一版于1954 年出版,共十二章。此后,标准化仍然是仪器和观测方法委员会(CIMO)活动的一个关键问题。委员会不断审议指南的 内容,并确保在定期更新时纳入了反映技术的快速发展及其在气象仪器和观测方法领域的 实施的现代指导材料。
对于常规用途的大多数仪器、系统和技术,本指南是一项关键资源,提供了从最简单到最复 杂精细的描述,但不会涉及仅用于研究的方法和工具。指南的目的是给出最佳做法和程序,以及仪器和系统的基本能力,协助国家气象和水文部门或者其他感兴趣的运行观测系统的用 户编制他们的手册和程序,满足各自对测量和观察结果的特定需要。指南有意将标准化限制 在基本要求上,并将建议局限至给定仪器或测量系统不同配置最常见的一般特征,从而给 进一步发展留下广泛余地。对于有关与WIGOS 相关的仪器和观测方法的所有问题,本指南 都是权威参考。Permalink![]()
