  meteorological data
The acceptability of a meteorological database, expressed in terms of percentage recovery and duration of record, must be in the context of adequacy and suitability for modeling in accordance with the document Meteorological Monitoring Guidance for Regulatory Modeling Applications (EPA, 2000) and all applicable MEDEP-BAQ/EPA guidelines.
On-site meteorological data is generally defined as data that is collected within close proximity to the modeled source and is truly representative of localized conditions near the stack.
Off-site meteorological data is defined as data that is generally representative of conditions at the modeled source, although localized variations are not likely to be captured in the data.

 World Meteorological Organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It originated from the International Meteorological Organization (IMO), which was founded in 1873.
Established in 1950, WMO became the specialized agency of the United Nations for meteorology (weather and climate), operational hydrology and related geophysical sciences.
Authorities are also investigating officials in meteorological offices for mismanaging the organization and receiving some of the money diverted from the organization.

 Meteorological Drought - Exposure Maps   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The first step in assessing the exposure to meteorological drought was to compute, for each calendar month, the median precipitation for all grid points between the latitudes of 60S and 70N over the base period 1979-2001 (the 23-yr.
Exposure to meteorological drought at a given location (gridpoint) does not include the effect of regional variations in topography.
The spatial extent of meteorological drought is not considered in the analysis.

 WebMET - The Meteorological Resource Center
In general, for use in air quality modeling applications, meteorological data should be representative of conditions affecting the transport and dispersion of pollutants in the “area of interest” as determined by the locations of the sources and receptors being modeled.
Representativeness for steady-state modeling applications must necessarily be assessed in concert with the steady-state assumption that meteorological conditions are constant within the space-time domain of the application; as typically applied, measurements for a single location, somewhere near the source, are assumed to apply, without change, at all points in the modeling domain.
The meteorological processors which support these applications are designed to appropriately blend available NWS data, local site-specific data, and prognostic mesoscale data; empirical relationships are then used to diagnostically adjust the wind fields for mesoscale and local-scale effects [11], [12].

 Royal Meteorological Society - A Brief History
According to the minutes of the meeting, they gathered "to form a society the objects of which should be the advancement and extension of meteorological science by determining the laws of climate and of meteorological phenomena in general".
It became The Meteorological Society in 1866, when it was incorporated by Royal Charter, and the Royal Meteorological Society in 1883, when Her Majesty Queen Victoria granted the privilege of adding 'Royal' to the title.
Five years later, another Meteorological Society of London was founded, but this, too, was shortlived, for, in the summer of 1850, its Council dissolved the Society and recommended the members to join the British Meteorological Society.
