Role of NMHSs in adaptation to climate variability and change : (Analysis report of a survey)
To understand better the role of NMHSs in adaptation at national level, the Climate Prediction and Adaptation Branch (CLPA) has conducted, for the first time, an online survey to gather this information for the benefit of the NMHSs and the people and institutions that they serve.

This revised Plan updates the Actions in the IP-04, taking account of recent progress in science and technology, the increased focus on adaptation, enhanced efforts to optimize mitigation measures, and the need for improved prediction and projection of climate change. It focuses on the timeframe 2010-2015.

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 ...

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 and collectively, it is necessary to assess their performance by comparison with observations and known physical constraints.

WCRP Implementation Plan 2010-2015
The WCRP Implementation Plan 2010-2015 describe the major research activities and initiatives that WCRP will promote and undertake during the next several years. These activities are based on the scientific challenges and opportunities of interest identified by the scientists involved in the programme, as well as on the national and international scientific priorities that would most benefit from the coordination and integration that can be provided by WCRP Projects and Working Groups.

WCDMP, 70. Guidelines for Plant Phenological Observations
The technical document on the guidelines for plant phenological observations raises the benefits of these types of observations in monitoring the impact of the changing climate on an important biosphere element of the climate system which is vegetation. The content of the document was elaborated by experts in climatology and biometeorology in a multidisciplinary team work approach. The guidelines included in the document are based on scientifically recognized principles and good practices undertaken by several institutions having long experience in carrying out plant phonological observations ...

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 ...
