Understanding climate change : a beginner's guide to the UN Framework Convention
Information Unit on Climate Change (IUCC); Information Unit on Climate Change (IUCC); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) - UNEP, 1995Introduction: A giant asteroid could hit the earth! Something else could happen! The global temperature could rise! Wake up! The 1990s have been a time of international soul- searching about the environment. What are we doing to our planet? More and more, we are realising that the Industrial Revolution has changed forever the relationship between humanity and nature. There is real concern that by the middle or the end of the next century human activities will have changed the basic conditions that have allowed life to thrive on earth.
Guide to the Applications of Marine Climatology
Complementary to the Guide to Climatological Practices (WMO-No. 100), this guide provides both a source text and reference book for techniques already in standard use in the processing of marine climatological data, which are primarily meteorological and oceanographic observations made by ships in the WMO Voluntary Observing Ships scheme. The guide also describes in detail the diverse applications of such data in the service of the marine user community.

GORMP, 29. Handbook for Dobson ozone data re-evaluation
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Hudson Robert D.; Planet Walter G. - WMO, 1993 (WMO/TD-No. 597)
Guide on the Global Data-processing System (GDPS)
Contains brief descriptions of many methods and techniques used in data processing for weather analysis and forecasting in both middle and tropical latitudes. Included are chapters on real-time and non-real-time functions, numerical methods, methods of analysis and forecasting in the tropics, and quality-control procedures.
Guide on World Weather Watch Data Management
This guide provides a clear statement of World Weather Watch (WWW) data management requirements and how they can best be met in the long-term; its information documenting concepts and principles; technical information on those data management issues for which clear direction is presently not given by existing WMO statements of specifications, regulations, etc; and a technical record of the strategic direction being taken in WWW data management. The Commission for Basic Services will keep the guide under review in order to ensure its updating and expansion as necessary.
Manual on the Global Telecommunication System - volume II - Regional Aspects
A manual intended to
- facilitate cooperation in respect of meteorological telecommunications between Members;
- specify obligations of Members in the implementation of the World Weather Watch Global Telecommunication System;
- ensure uniformity and standardization in the practices and procedures employed in achieving (a) and (b) above.

A comprehensive guide to fixed, automated, in situ marine observing stations, covering platform types, instrumentation, moorings, deployment logistics and data management.
Operational hydrology report (OHR), 29. Manual on operational methods for the measurement of sediment transport
This manual describes the methods and equipment used for the measurement and estimation of sediment load in rivers and reservoirs and discusses the merits of some of the methods and equipment for various river-flow conditions. Recommendations are made for enhancing data acquisition and research on the improvement of operational methods of measurement.
Operational hydrology report (OHR), 27. Manual on water quality monitoring - Planning and implementation of sampling and field testing
This manual, the culmination of a Commission for Hydrology project, is intended as a practical handbook for those who plan water-quality sampling programmes, those who carry out the field work and for the training of personnel in the subject of water-quality data collection.
