	Address to World Conference on Science in Budapest - World Meteorlogical Organization (WMO)
		WMO is working with UNESCO and the other relevant United Nations organizations to address this challenge and to develop strategies for the reliable assessment of water resources and for optimizing their rational use.
		WMO coordinates data from its long-standing network of climate stations that are crucial in diagnosis, prediction, detection and attribution of any modes of climate variability or change.
		WMO and its Member countries are also operating 342 stations under the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) for monitoring, among others, transboundary air pollution including radioactivity, changes in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases and ozone depletion.

	Europe boils after global land temperatures rise to record level: WMO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A WMO meteorologist explained that on a global scale exceptionally hot weather in Europe in June had to be balanced against cooler than usual weather in the eastern half of the United States.
		WMO also highlighted a record 562 tornadoes during May in the United States, exceeding the previous monthly record of 399 in June 1992.
		WMO said extremes contributed to warnings from scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) in recent years that global warming was underway.

	WMO message (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is also important to note that, while WMO was founded as an intergovernmental organization in March 1950 and became an agency of the United Nations system one year later, it was the direct successor of the International Meteorological Organization (IMO) which was founded in 1873.
		WMO and all associated with its work at national, regional and international levels should feel pride in what has been achieved over the years.
		WMO therefore has a key role to play in the continuing debate by promoting the invaluable contribution of the Services and in helping the agencies themselves such as through the further development of the World Hydrological Cycle Observing System (WHYCOS).

	WMO Abbreviated Heading Components - A descriptive text on the WMO Abbreviated Heading of the WMO message
		The structure and meaning of the alpha and numeric characters of the WMO abbreviated heading ("COMMS" header, as it is called) is outlined here for a better understanding of how the abbreviated heading is built and what the character designators that make up the heading represent.
		The WMO abbreviated heading is a component of the WMO Meteorological message agreed by WMO members for use in exchanging data and products on the Global Telecommunication System between National Meteorological Centers of the world.
		The joining of the WMO Abbreviated Header as the first line of the product communications identifier and the further definition of the content of the bulletin as a second line of information was established for the operational implementation within the AWIPS communications environment.

		WMO's activities contribute to the safety of life and property, the socio-economic development of nations and the protection of the environment.
		Although the Convention itself came into force in 1950, WMO commenced operations as the successor to IMO in 1951 and, later that year, was established as a specialized agency of the United Nations by agreement between the UN and WMO.
		The purposes of WMO are to facilitate international cooperation in the establishment of networks of stations for making meteorological, hydrological and other observations; and to promote the rapid exchange of meteorological information, the standardization of meteorological observations and the uniform publication of observations and statistics.

		The WMO Members were urged to contribute to celebrations at the national level, and requested the Executive Council to arrange for a variety of WMO contributions to the year, both directly and in concert with other United Nations system agencies (see Resolution 17 (Cg-XII)).
		The January 1998 numbers of the WMO Bulletin and World Climate News will also be largely devoted to aspects of the general theme of "oceans, weather and climate".

	UN Chronicle: Challenges and opportunities ahead for WMO
		Finally, the Secretariat and its entire staff are the backbone for the successful implementation of the WMO priority actions I have outlined I will strengthen the dialogue with staff and encourage them to take more initiatives and work in unison.
		There will be transparency in all WMO actions, which will be for the benefit of its members, with particular attention to those most in need.
		With my background as a meteorologist and experience as Deputy Secretary-General for the last eight years, I believe that WMO will meet the challenges of the new century and continue to grow and support its members in their expectations for the well-being of their populations and the sustainable development of their economies.

	WMO Statement
		It requires comprehensive and well maintained meteorological networks, standardization and coordination of exchange of data and products at rapid rates by WMO, and development and application of new observational and modelling techniques and continued development of meteorological science.
		This body of experience, coupled with a robust set of metrics for assessing accuracy means that, in many cases, uncertainty in weather forecasts is well known, and in many cases well understood.
		What should be better understood is that with present (and any foreseeable) future states of the science, some meteorological phenomena will remain inherently unpredictable, and the more extreme the phenomena, the more likely that this will be so.

	ESA - Meteosat Second Generation - WMO celebrates 52 years
		When the WMO first began operating, weather forecasts tended to be rather hit and miss affairs, more often renowned for their failures than for their accurate predictions.
		Over the years, however, the accuracy of weather reports has improved enormously, greatly aided by powerful computers and the use of weather satellites, the first of which was launched in 1960.
		However, a much more exciting prospect for the WMO is the possibility of having a continuous supply of improved data available for its World Weather Watch and World Climate Programmes.

		When is was made clear to me that WMO had no funds currently to support HDF, I indicated that the next best thing would be an endorsement from WMO, based on which we could go to funding sources to seek support for a project.
		While some continued to point out that WMO could not afford this, others pointed out that WMO could be spending far more by having many different applications developers create their own software, duplicating one another.

	People's Daily Online -- Two Dutch scientists win 19th Vaisala Award of WMO
		The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced Thursday that two Dutch scientists won the 19th Professor Vilho Vaisala Award for their innovative work on the Doppler weather radar that may have a positive impact on severe weather forecasting and early warning.
		The award winners are Iwan Holleman and Hans Beekhuis of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), the WMO said in a press release.
		The method presented in the paper "could have a positive impact on several applications, such as aviation meteorology and severe weather forecasting and warning," WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said at the award-giving ceremony held at KNMI headquarters in De Bilt, The Netherlands.

		Nanette Lomarda, acting chief of the tropical cyclone program division at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), also said the number of category 4 and 5 storms over that ocean had nearly doubled over the past 35 years.
		But it was "premature" to say the frequency and intensity of hurricanes in the past decade -- fuelled by higher sea surface temperatures -- is attributable to global warming, she said, adding that more research was needed to establish any link.
		But you can't say there will be zero deaths," Lomarda told Reuters in an interview at WMO headquarters in Geneva.
