World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS) Guidelines
The Guidelines should help achieve the objectives of the International Decade for Action "Water for Life" (2005–2015). They are designed to serve as guidance for the main stages of project formulation and implementation including initiation, development, realization and management, as well as monitoring and evaluation, of HYCOS projects. It is expected that the information in this brochure should allow for the exchange of experience, data and information among development projects and activities and thereby help in developing and improving the implementation of HYCOS components.

GCOS, 108. Climate information for development needs : an action plan for Africa - Report and implementation strategy
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); International Council for Science (ICSU); et al. - WMO, 2006 (WMO/TD-No. 1358)"The purpose of the meeting was to bring together a wide cross-section of the users and providers of climate information to identify the gaps and needs for climate observations and services to support efforts to achieve the MDGs. Participants considered several documents: a Gap Analysis, prepared from a user perspective, that assessed needed improvements in the provision of climate information and services to sectoral users and decisionmakers leading to better management of climate risks; and two Regional Action Plans prepared over the period 2001-04 (one for the countries of Eastern and South ...

The section concludes by discussing the various climatic problems with aquaculture and listing some requirements of using hydrometeorological and environmental information to serve aquaculture. There are also some recommendations on how to strengthen the capability in providing hydrometeorological and environmental information for aquaculture production.
The second section gives an overview on the data needs for fisheries and aquaculture in New Zealand. The topics include: a brief overview of the freshwater and saltwater environments in New Zealand; the various meteorological data used in New Zealand for fisheries including information on the Southern Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation index (PDO); the uses of the data in monitoring access to fisheries; monitoring environmental impacts; predicting fish distribution; and discusses and several case studies.Collection(s) and Series: WMO/TD- No. 1342; Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP)- No. 100
