AeM Series, 07. Outcomes of the 2021 Global Survey on Gender Equality in Aeronautical Meteorology
The 2021 global survey on gender equality in aeronautical meteorology was conducted by the Standing Committee on Services for Aviation (SC-AVI) between June and August 2021. The objective of the survey was to collate information on respondents’ experience regarding gender equality and empowerment of women in the aeronautical meteorology domain, particularly at the national level. The survey also sought to obtain additional insight on the policies, action plans and/or guidelines pertaining to gender equality in aeronautical meteorology that may exist in the workplace.

AeM Series, 08. Proceedings of the Eighth International Workshop on Volcanic Ash (AEM Series No. 8)
The Eighth International Workshop on Volcanic Ash (IWVA-8) was held in Rotorua, New Zealand on 4 and 5 February 2023. Its purpose was to demonstrate the worldwide progress made in supporting the scientific and technological advancement within the international airways volcano watch (IAVW) over the past 10 years or more and to highlight where gaps and other limitations in capacity and capability still prevail. The IAVW is a worldwide system comprising meteorological, volcanological, geological and other facilities and services supporting continued safe and efficient aviation operations whenever ...

The Eighth International Workshop on Volcanic Ash (IWVA-8) was held in Rotorua, New Zealand on 4 and 5 February 2023. Its purpose was to demonstrate the worldwide progress made in supporting the scientific and technological advancement within the international airways volcano watch (IAVW) over the past 10 years or more and to highlight where gaps and other limitations in capacity and capability still prevail. The IAVW is a worldwide system comprising meteorological, volcanological, geological and other facilities and services supporting continued safe and efficient aviation operations whenever and wherever volcanic eruptions are occurring and/or whenever and wherever volcanic ash clouds and gases are present in the atmosphere. Responding to the evolving needs of the aviation industry, the workshop sought to chart a path for scientific and technological advancement through the 2020s and beyond, thereby helping to inform the further development of the work plans of WMO and partner agencies.

Published by: WMO ; 2023The Fifth Filter Radiometer Comparison (FRC-V) was held with one year of delay due to COVID-19 pandemic and relative restrictions, concurrently with the 13th International Pyrheliometer Comparison in Davos, Switzerland. Instrumentation belonging to different AOD global networks were invited and participated. Also, three reference instruments from the Calibration of Aerosol Remote Sensing (CARS) of the pan-European research infrastructure ACTRIS (Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure) facility participated. The comparison took place at the premises of PMOD/WRC from September 27th to October 25th, 2021. Thirtytwo (32) filter radiometers and spectroradiometers from 12 countries participated in this campaign.
The objective of this campaign was to compare aerosol optical depth and Ångström exponents (AE) derived from different instruments belonging to different global, regional or national networks in order to quantify the main factors that are responsible for possible deviations. The aim of the whole activity was to initiate action towards homogenization of the AOD measurements on a global scale. The comparison protocol was formulated according to the WMO recommendations. Measurements of each instrument were compared to the WORCC Precision Filter Radiometer (PFR) reference triad.Collection(s) and Series: GAW Report- No. 280
