NCAR's Earth Observing Laboratory ; The COMET Program ; Millersville University - The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), 2017This advanced lesson explores the performance characteristics of instrumentation used for meteorological measurements. Static performance characteristics are examined in the context of calibration, which offers a means to determine an instrument's response. Dynamic performance characteristics, including first and second order inputs, are discussed using three classic examples: step or impulse, ramp or time varying, and oscillatory inputs. The lesson provides information about the effects of representativeness and regional homogeneity on measurements, and also describes processes for obtaining ...EnglishWIGOS Technical Report, 2016-01. AMDAR Benefits to the Air Transport Industry
This report describes and documents the benefits that the Air Transport Industry (ATI) gains from increased forecast accuracy achieved through the daily collection of atmospheric data gathered by approximately 4,000 inflight commercial aircraft. The report also outlines the Aircraft Meteorological DAta Relay (AMDAR) observing system, the forecast process and describes the importance that AMDAR data plays in numerical weather prediction (NWP).
Measuring the benefits to the ATI requires first to describe and to quantify the improved weather forecast accuracies due solely to the assimilat ...EnglishWIGOS Technical Report, 2015-01. Impact and benefits of AMDAR temperature, wind and moisture observations in operational weather forecasting
This report reviews the impact of AMDAR observations on operational NWP forecasts at both regional and global scales that support national and local weather forecast offices across the globe.EnglishIntroduction to Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR)
Introduction to Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR) provides national meteorological services worldwide, airlines, and aviation organizations with information about the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) aircraft-based observing system. The audience includes meteorological service managers and providers, observational development groups, the aviation industry, and others interested in benefiting from an aircraft-based observing system in their region. The content includes interviews with several experts to provide examples of AMDAR use for both meteorological and aviation applications. Additional details about the systems and requirements for implementing AMDAR are also included.EnglishWIGOS Technical Report, 2014-02. Requirements for the Implementation and Operation of an AMDAR Programme
This document provides guidance to WMO Members on the requirements for the establishment and operation of a national or regional AMDAR observing system in collaboration with one or more partner commercial airlines. It has been contributed to and reviewed by observing system experts of WMO Members, including members of the WMO Commission for Basic Systems (CBS) Expert Team on Aircraft-Based Observing Systems (ET-ABO).English, RussianThe WMO AMDAR Observing System : Benefits to airlines and aviation
A 4-page brochure, developed and published by WMO, that briefly explains the benefits of the AMDAR observing system to airlines and the aviation industry.EnglishВсемирная метеорологическая организация Технический отчет, 2014-02. Требования к осуществлению и функционированию программы AMDAR
В настоящем документе представлено руководство для стран-членов ВМО относитель-но требований к созданию и эксплуатации в сотрудничестве с одной или несколькими партнерскими коммерческими авиакомпаниями национальной или региональной систе-мы наблюдений AMDAR. Данный документ был составлен и пересмотрен экспертами в области систем наблюдений стран-членов ВМО, включая членов группы экспертов по системам наблюдений с бортов ВС (ET-ABO) Комиссии по основным системам (КОС) ВМО.Russian, EnglishGuide to Meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observation
The first edition of this guide was published in 1950 […]
The current Guide consists of 38 chapters distributed over the following four parts: Measurement of Meteorological Variables, Observing Systems, Space-based Observations, and Quality Assurance and Management of Observing Systems.English, French; Spanish; Russian; ArabicGSICS Executive Panel, eleventh session: final report
WMO, 2012The eleventh session of the GSICS Executive Panel (EP) was hosted by ROSHYDROMET in St Petersburg on 2 October 2011 in conjunction with the 39th session of CGMS. The Panel noted the good progress made by both the GSICS Data Management Working Group (GDWG) and the GSICS Research Working Group (GRWG). It stressed the importance and the benefit of following a harmonized methodology throughout the agencies and encouraged IMD and ISRO to resume contact with the GSICS Coordimation Centre (GCC) with a view to facilitate implementation of GSICS corrections on INSAT and Kalpana. The Panel invited the ...EnglishGuide to the Global Observing System
The main purpose of this guide is to provide practical information on the development, organization, implementation and operation of the Global Observing System in order to enhance both the participation of individual Members in the System and the benefits they may obtain from it. The Guide explains and describes Global Observing System practices, procedures and specifications and is aimed at assisting the technical and administrative staff of National Meteorological Services responsible for the networks of observing stations in preparing national instructions for observers.English, Chinese; French; Russian; Spanish
