WCRP, 132. SPARC Report on the Evaluation of Chemistry-Climate Models
Three-dimensional climate models with a fully interactive representation of stratospheric ozone chemistry otherwise known as stratosphere-resolving chemistry-climate models (CCMs) are key tools for the attribution and prediction of stratospheric ozone changes arising from the combined effects of changes in the amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS). These models can also be used to infer potential effects of stratospheric changes on the climate of the troposphere. In order to know how much confidence can be placed in the results from the CCMs, both individually ...

SP, 05. The potential role of WMO in Space Weather : a report on the potential scope, cost and benefit of a wmo activity in support of International coordination of space weather services, prepared for the sixtieth executive council
The present report addresses the possible scope, cost and benefit of initiating a WMO activity in the area of Space Weather. The expression Space Weather is used to designate processes occurring on the Sun, in the magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere, which have the potential to affect the near-Earth environment. These processes occurring mainly outside of the atmosphere are not meteorological phenomena, and thus haven’t so far been considered within the mandate of WMO. However, because of their importance and possible synergy with activities under WMO’s responsibility, the issue o ...
IOM Report, 99. WMO Field Intercomparison of Rainfall Intensity Gauges
The WMO Field Intercomparison of Rainfall Intensity Gauges was carried out in Vigna di Valle, Italy from October 2007 to April 2009, at the kind invitation of the Italian Meteorological Service. This intercomparison is following up on the Laboratory Intercomparison of Rainfall Intensity Gauges. CIMOXIV recommended that welldefined and accepted reference instruments and procedures were needed for the field intercomparison. CIMOXIV agreed that such reference might be based on a set of high quality devices applying different measuring techniques and had adopted a recommendation to that effect. Th ...
