Use of radar in meteorology
A Technical Note concerned primarily with the operational aspects of radar (one chapter is devoted to Doppler radar), but which also includes research on, and use of, non-conventional systems, types and uses of radar, basic theory, and data transmission and processing. Errors and accuracies, methods of operation, practical aspects of siting and maintenance, costs and cost-benefit aspects are also considered.
Weather-based mathematical models for estimating development and ripening of crops
A treatment of the formulation and operation of various models which relate the rate of crop development to certain environ-mental factors (mainly temperature and photoperiod). Many applications are discussed, including crop zonation, land-use planning, management and operation of the production and processing of crops, characterizing genotype response to the environment and use as a biological time-scale submodel for monitoring crop conditions and forecasting yield.
A study of the agroclimatology of the humid Tropics of South-East Asia
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Frère M.; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); et al. - WMO, 1982 (WMO-No. 597)
Meteorological aspects of the utilization of solar radiation as an energy source: annex - World maps of relative global radiation
This Technical Note contains a detailed treatment of meteorological knowledge and activities related to the harnessing of solar energy, and includes chapters on users' requirements, measurement techniques, data-acquisition systems, instrument calibration and quality control, experimental research and development stations, testing and evaluation, publication, archiving and retrieval of data and numerical examples. Also included are a list of selected references and a summary of all relevant terminology, definitions, units and symbols.
Meteorological aspects of the utilization of wind as an energy source
This publication has been written with the basic aim of promoting the application of meteorological data and knowledge to the planning and operation of wind-energy systems (also called wind-energy conversion systems - WECS). It is intended both for meteorologists expected to assist in wind-energy projects and for wind-energy technologists.

Weather and airborne organisms
An outline of commonly observed weather changes which are important in aerobiology, followed by the background information required to understand the take-off, displacement, dispersion and landing of airborne organisms, as well as their death in the air. Reviews from literature have been included to show the many kinds of organisms, scales of effect and kinds of observing and analysis techniques used. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for further work in the field are given.
Quantitative meteorological data from satellites
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Hubert Lester F.; McClain E.Paul; et al. - WMO, 1979 (WMO-No. 531)The data discussed are remote soundings of atmospheric temperature and moisture; winds derived from cloud motions observed by geostationary satellites; Earth-surface temperature, and application of satellite data in numerical analyses and prediction.
Review of urban climatology 1973-1976
This publication reviews developments in the fields of urban climatology and meteorology in the period 1973-1976 inclusive. It therefore forms an addendum to WMO Technical Note No. 134 "Review of Urban Climatology 1968-1973" produced earlier by the author. The organization of the report follows that of the earlier one and the combined bibliographies along with that produced by Chandler (WMO Publication No. 276, 1970) provide a reasonably comprehensive coverage of literature in urban climatology.
Techniques of frost prediction and methods of frost and cold protection
Discussed are the techniques of predicting minimum temperatures and/or frost occurrence used in various countries. The empirical, theoretical, semi-theoretical and ordinary subjective techniques currently employed are described and assessed. In addition, a brief historical review describes the evolution of frost prediction formulae over the past 90 years.
Handbook of meteorological forecasting for soaring flight
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Organisation Scientifique et Technique Internationale du Vol à Voile (OSTIV) - WMO, 1978 (WMO-No. 495)
Soya bean and weather
This Technical Note reviews the present knowledge of the climatic factors limiting profitable production of the soya bean crop, from germination to harvest.
