Meteorological and hydrological aspects of siting and operation of nuclear power plants: volume II, hydrological aspects
Meteorology and hydrology play an important role in the understanding of the basic criteria for the siting of nuclear power plant and in applying protective measures for their operations. In order to provide advice on this matter, the WMO Secretariat, at the request of the Executive Council, arranged for the preparation of a Technical Note aimed at practising meteorologists and hydrologists of countries faced with the task of installing nuclear power plants.Meteorological and hydrological aspects of siting and operation of nuclear power plants: volume II, hydrological aspects

Reports on marine science affairs (MSA), 09. Environmental factors in operations to combat oil spills
At its first session in November 1970, the Commission on Marine Meteorology Working Group on Requirements for Marine Meteorological Services considered that amongst the many services required by marine user groups are those to assist in operations to control the spread of oil pollution. The results of an inquiry among Members of WMO indicated that a number of National Meteorological Services are involved in these activities and provide forecasts of environmental factors influencing the movement of surface oil and other relevant information. To combat oil spills effectively, knowledge is requir ...Permalink![]()
