PWS, 21. Guidelines on early warning systems and application of nowcasting and warning operations
In 2010, a historic heat wave and numerous wildfires impacted Moscow and surrounding areas in the Russian Federation. At the same time, catastrophic flooding from unusually heavy monsoon rains was ongoing in Pakistan. Both events led to many fatalities and considerable human suffering. As climate change due to anthropogenic forcing continues, extreme weather events such as these are likely to become more common (IPCC 2007), further increasing the need for preparedness and early warning systems.
The need for robust early warning systems goes beyond purely natural disasters and extend ...IOM Report, 105. Measurement challenges for global observation systems for climate change monitoring : traceability, stability and uncertainty
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) - WMO, 2010 (WMO/TD-No. 1557)The WMO-BIPM workshop on ‘Measurement Challenges for Global Observation Systems for Climate Change Monitoring: Traceability, Stability and Uncertainty’ was held at the WMO Headquarters from 30 March to 1 April 2010, and brought together over 120 scientists active in long term measurements
relevant to climate change monitoring and metrologists responsible for developing standards as references to which such measurements could be traceable.CIMO IOM Reports No.95 to 103

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.
GCOS, 138. Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in support of the UNFCCC : (2010 update)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); et al. - WMO, 2010 (WMO/TD-No. 1523)This 2010 edition of the Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in Support of the UNFCCC (IP-10) replaces a similarly titled Plan (IP-04) which was published in 2004.2 Its purpose is to provide an updated set of Actions required to implement and maintain a comprehensive global observing system for climate that will address the commitments of the Parties under Articles 4 and 5 of the UNFCCC and support their needs for climate observations in fulfilment of the objectives of the Convention. This revised Plan updates the Actions in the IP-04, taking account of recent progr ...

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 ...

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.
