CAS/JSC WGNE Report, 23. Report of the twenty third session of the CAS/JSC Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; International Council for Science (ICSU); Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) - WMO, 2008 (WMO/TD-No. 1429)
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 ...

WCRP, 128. Assessment of global precipitation products : a project of the World Climate Research Programme Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Radiation Panel
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 ...
WWRP, 2008-04. Expert meeting to evaluate skills of tropical cyclone seasonal forecasts
This expert meeting was organized in response to the recommendations of the Sixth International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones to develop a common set of metrics to evaluate the skill of seasonal tropical cyclone forecasts and report on a central website hosted by WMO. Camargo et al. summarized in the October 2007 issue of the WMO Bulletin a number of statistical and dynamical seasonal forecasts. Representatives of each type of forecast were part of the expert team. Issues confronted when attempting to conduct an evaluation of forecasts produced by different groups
WWRP/THORPEX, 11. WWRP/THORPEX African Implementation Plan
THORPEX is a ten year international research and development programme under the WMO World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) to accelerate improvements in accuracy of 1 day to 2 weeks high-impact weather forecasts and realize related benefits for society, the economy and the environment.
This document is designed to capitalize and improve upon existing and planned research and development programmes that contribute to WWRP/THORPEX objectives for Africa.
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.
