Compendium of lecture notes in marine meteorology for class III and class IV personnel
This compendium covers the syllabuses for the specialized training of Class II and Class IV personnel in marine meteorology (see third edition of Guidelines for the education and training of personnel in meteorology and operational hydrology (WMO-No. 258)). As the title indicates, the compendium contains extensive notes, on which students and instructors are expected to enlarge. The compendium is concerned with the atmosphere over the oceanic regions of the globe and also with the uppermost layers of the sea. It begins with a survey of the geography and basic properties of the ocean and then f ...

This compendium covers the syllabuses for the specialized training of Class II and Class IV personnel in marine meteorology (see third edition of Guidelines for the education and training of personnel in meteorology and operational hydrology (WMO-No. 258)). As the title indicates, the compendium contains extensive notes, on which students and instructors are expected to enlarge. The compendium is concerned with the atmosphere over the oceanic regions of the globe and also with the uppermost layers of the sea. It begins with a survey of the geography and basic properties of the ocean and then focuses upon the behaviour of the marine atmosphere, air-sea interactions, motion systems in the atmosphere and the oceans, ways and means of observing these systems and techniques used for forecasting weather and sea conditions. Finally, meteorological services for mariners are reviewed.

Climatological aspects of the composition and pollution of the atmosphere
This report offers some practical guidelines on the processing and use of regular surface and upper-air observations in terms of their climatological influence on transport and diffusion of air pollutants. The concept of a meteorological potential for air pollution is discussed. An attempt was made to include examples of pertinent climatological data for various parts of the world but in fact the data are limited to temperate and northern latitudes of the northern hemisphere. There is a paucity of available meteorological studies relative to air pollution in the tropics, which, unfortunately, ...

This report offers some practical guidelines on the processing and use of regular surface and upper-air observations in terms of their climatological influence on transport and diffusion of air pollutants. The concept of a meteorological potential for air pollution is discussed. An attempt was made to include examples of pertinent climatological data for various parts of the world but in fact the data are limited to temperate and northern latitudes of the northern hemisphere. There is a paucity of available meteorological studies relative to air pollution in the tropics, which, unfortunately, is where industrialization, energy consumption, and pollutant emissions are expected to increase rapidly. In addition to transport and diffusion, some attention is also devoted to climatological influences on the transformation of pollutants while they are airborne, especially the photochemical formation of oxidant. A brief summary of pertinent publications of the World Meteorological Organization is given and an effort is made not to repeat information unnecessarily therein.
Meteorological variables that are discussed include wind speed and direction, static stability, mixing heights, diffusion parameters, fog, and precipitation. A more general variable is atmospheric stagnation, which refers to meteorological conditions that are often associated with or conducive to episodes with relatively high concentrations of pollutants, especially as experienced in cities. Various definitions and applications of stagnation are described for different parts of the world. A brief description is given of considerations to be made in processing and summarizing measurements of air quality. The report includes almost 100 references.Notes: Summaries available in English, French, Russian and Spanish.

WMO data on UNdata
WMO data provide the basis for better understanding the climatology of severe weather and extreme events such as tropical cyclones, El Niño, floods, heat waves, cold waves, droughts and other natural hazards, contributing to saving both lives and property, and improving our understanding and monitoring of the climate system and environment. WMO has drawn attention to issues of major concern, such as ozone layer depletion, global warming, climate change and diminishing water resources.
WMO enhances the application of meteorological and hydrological information for the security and well-b ...
