MMO Series, 04. Maritime Forecasting, Meteorology and WMO: History and Evolution
Maritime Forecasting, Meteorology and WMO: History and Evolution traces the history of marine meteorology. In particular, it looks at the introduction of “maritime safety information”, the establishment of METAREAs globally, the development of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Worldwide Met-Ocean Information and Warning Service and their place in the IMO Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.

Maritime Forecasting, Meteorology and WMO: History and Evolution traces the history of marine meteorology. In particular, it looks at the introduction of “maritime safety information”, the establishment of METAREAs globally, the development of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Worldwide Met-Ocean Information and Warning Service and their place in the IMO Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.
The International Maritime Conference in Brussels in 1853 resulted in initial steps for standardization in the making and recording of weather and ocean observations, and also led to the First International Meteorological Congress in Vienna in 1873. This Congress ultimately led to establishment of the International Meteorological Organization – the forerunner of WMO.
This paper acknowledges and builds on several WMO Bulletin articles (Hontarrède, 1998, No. 47(1); Shearman, 2003, No. 52(1); Savina, 2006, No. 55(2); Dexter and Parker, 2009, No. 58(2)), emphasizing significant progress in meteorological maritime safety distribution since then.Collection(s) and Series: WMO MMO Series- No. 04

Guidelines on Communicating Climate Science and Services (WMO-No. 1288)
This Guidance to Communicating Climate Science and Services emerges from the experiences of the WMO Expert Team on Capacity Development and Communications, Task Team on Communications. This publication recommends approaches for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) to use as they continue to build their climate services. These approaches are supported by a wide breadth of materials, from peer-reviewed papers, technical reports, to committee meeting notes, by a deep depth of understanding from experts worldwide, and by a long length of experience in climate services within NM ...

Published by: WMO ; 2022This Guidance to Communicating Climate Science and Services emerges from the experiences of the WMO Expert Team on Capacity Development and Communications, Task Team on Communications. This publication recommends approaches for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) to use as they continue to build their climate services. These approaches are supported by a wide breadth of materials, from peer-reviewed papers, technical reports, to committee meeting notes, by a deep depth of understanding from experts worldwide, and by a long length of experience in climate services within NMHS. The volume of knowledge created by the three dimensions—the breadth of material, depth of expertise, and length of experience--are captured in the Bibliography. This Guidance encapsulates and outlines the most salient points in an easy-to-read manual that can be used as a handy reference for success in communicating climate services.

2022 State of Climate Services: Energy (WMO-No. 1301)
The 2022 WMO State of Climate Services report focuses on the issue of energy, a subject that continues to dominate discussion and debate as it effects every single community, business, sector and economy, in all parts of the world.
Reaching net zero by 2050 will mean a complete transformation of our global energy system, with a switch to lower emissions electricity production and increased energy efficiency at the heart of the worldwide response. But the transition to clean energy calls for investment in improved weather, water and climate services that can be used to ensure our energy ...

The 2022 WMO State of Climate Services report focuses on the issue of energy, a subject that continues to dominate discussion and debate as it effects every single community, business, sector and economy, in all parts of the world.
Reaching net zero by 2050 will mean a complete transformation of our global energy system, with a switch to lower emissions electricity production and increased energy efficiency at the heart of the worldwide response. But the transition to clean energy calls for investment in improved weather, water and climate services that can be used to ensure our energy infrastructure is resilient to climate-related shocks and inform measures to increase energy efficiency across multiple sectors.
Using data, analysis, and a series of case studies, the report illustrates and explains how countries – from Italy to Tajikistan – can improve their energy infrastructure, resilience and security through better climate services, supported by sustainable investments.Collection(s) and Series: WMO- No. 1301

OSCAR Series. OSCAR/Surface User Manual
The Observing Systems Capability Analysis and Review tool (OSCAR) of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) Information Resource (WIR) is a key source of information for WIGOS metadata. The surface- and space-based components of OSCAR are intended to record observing platform/station metadata, according to the WIGOS Metadata Standard described in the Manual on the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WMO-No. 1160) and in the WIGOS Metadata Standard (WMO-No. 1192), and to retain a record of the current and historical WIGOS metadata. This Manual explains how to use OSCAR/Surface, ...
