WCDMP, 76. Proceedings of the sixth seminar for homogenization and quality control in climatological databases
The aim of the homogenization procedures is to detect the inhomogeneities and to correct the series. In practice there are absolute and relative methods applied for this purpose. However the application of absolute methods is very problematic and hazardous since the separation of climate change signal and the inhomogeneity signal is essentially impossible. Relative methods can be applied if there are more station series given, which can be compared mutually. The methodology of comparison is related to the following questions: reference series creation, difference series constitution, multiple ...

PWS, 18. Guidelines on Communicating Forecast Uncertainty
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Martin Claire; Cacic Ivan; et al. - WMO, 2008 (WMO/TD-No. 1422)Communicating the uncertainty of the forecast is vital to users. It allows them to make better decisions that are attuned to the reliability of the forecast. It also helps to manage the expectations of users for accurate forecasts. These Guidelines address the issue of communicating forecast uncertainty. Although they include a discussion on the sources of uncertainty, and touch on the related science (e.g. probabilistic forecasting, the use of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) ensembles), this is not their focus. Rather, the emphasis is on how National Meteorological and Hydrological Servic ...

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Levizzani Vincenzo; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); et al. - WMO, 2008 (WMO/TD-No. 1430)This report is a synthesis of the current state of knowledge in measurements of global precipitation, a major component of the global water and energy cycle that influences significantly the Earth’s climate system, and in turn is affected by the climate system variability and change. It is a comprehensive assessment of the current global precipitation data records which have been assembled by combining observations from space-based and in situ measurements. These long-term records include observations over the land and oceans for a period of 25 years. The report describes in detail how these p ...

AGM, 10. Management of Natural and Environmental Resources for Sustainable Agricultural Development : Proceedings of a Workshop held from February 13-16, 2006, in Portland, Oregon
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Pasteris P.; United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); et al. - WMO, 2008 (WMO/TD-No. 1428)Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing awareness of the potential damages that climate change, air and water pollution and inadequate natural resources management could induce upon human health, natural ecosystems and the economy. To address these concerns, considerable emphasis has been placed on sustainable development by many countries and international organizations. Accordingly, sustainable agricultural development has become a major issue of the 21 st century.

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Gill Jon; Cacic Ivan; et al. - WMO, 2007 (WMO/TD-No. 1409)This document presents some examples of how to effectively communicate weather information, across a range of services delivery methods and information types. Examples include graphical presentations on the internet and television, good use of icons and other weather symbols, and a case of effective verbal communication on radio. The examples are real. They have been chosen because they encompass one or more elements of effective communication, such as clear language, or simple but effective use of graphics. Users of this document are invited to examine the examples and use them as guidance ...
ETR, 19. Members Training Requirements, Opportunities and Capabilities in Meteorology and Hydrology : WMO Survey 2006
This publication contains result analysis of the WMO Survey on Member's training requirements and opportunities in meteorology and hydrology, which took place during 2006. The survey represent an objective basis for a proper assessment and planning of the WMO training activities and for introducing modifications and improvements to the Education and Training Programme.
ETR, 20. Aviation hazards
This document is to guide forecasters working for the aviation community. Its intention is to discuss the many and varied phenomena which, unfortunately, can prove hazardous to aviation which lower the safety of air operation and may cause loss of equipment and life. Whilst some forecasting techniques are mentioned, of itself this document is not a forecasting ‘textbook’. It is intended that the reader is familiar with some quite technical terms used in meteorology. Practicing forecasters reading this document should have ready access to more involved texts on the various subjects.

The Public We ...
PWS, 15. Guidelines on capacity building strategies in Public Weather Services
Weather affects virtually every person on the planet, every day of the year. Consequently information on past, present and future weather conditions plays an important part in planning our daily lives. Although the provision of weather and climate information to the community at large has long been one of the main responsibilities of the National Meteorological Services (NMHSs) of the now 188 Member States and Territories of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), it is only during the past decade that most NMHSs have begun to focus their efforts on the provision of the highest possible ...
World Climate Applications and Services Programme (WCASP), 74. Expert Meeting on Water Manager Needs for Climate Information in Water Resources Planning
Recognizing that climate information is presently not widely used by water managers, the expert meeting aimed to identify the current state of climate information that potentially could be used by water managers and looked into the perception of water managers with regard to the use of climate information that would suit their requirements. The meeting also served as a scoping platform to identify current uses of climate information in water management and to provide an overview at which scales climate information has the greatest potential for use now and the near future. Likewise, gaps and ...

JCOMM Technical Report, 30. Verification of operational global and regional wave forecasting systems against measurements from moored buoys
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Holt M.W.; Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) - WMO, 2006 (WMO/TD-No. 1333)Regional or basin-scale wave forecast model systems have been developed and run at various forecast modelling centres since the late 1970s, and as computer power grew during the 1980s, with the availability of global numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, global wave forecast models were established, often with nested regional wave models. Since that time, with increasing supercomputer capacity, the resolution of both global and regional wave models has increased, so that in 2004 a global wave model will typically have a grid spacing of ~50 km, close to or matching the resolution of the gl ...
