Specialized agency of the United Nations Organization for coordinating, standardizing and improving meteorological activities throughout the world and for encouraging the efficient exchange of information between countries, in the interest of various human activities.

OBS

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. It also furthers the application of meteorology to aviation, shipping, water problems, agriculture and other human activities, promotes operational hydrology and encourages research and training in meteorology.

... of the World Meteorological Organization. The Global Climate Observing System was established in 1992 by four international organizations : the World Meteorological Organization(WMO), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC) of UNESCO, the United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP), and the International Council of Scientific Unions(ICSU). The objectives of the Global Climate Observing System(GCOS) are to insure the acquisition of data to meet the data for : climate system monitoring, climate change detection and response monitoring especially in terrestrial ecosystems, application of climate information to national economic development, research toward improved understanding, modelling, and prediction of the climate system.

... of the World Meteorological Organization. The main purpose of the Programme is to stimulate collaboration and participation in basic research in the physics and chemistry of clouds and encourage application of this research with particular emphasis on the needs of weather prediction, weather modification and atmospheric pollution. This includes parameterization of clouds and precipitation processes in atmospheric models, the role of clouds in the radiative balance of the atmosphere, chemical transformation and transportation of pollutants, weather modification, etc. The programme provides information on the rationale underlying all aspects of weather modification and the role of clouds in atmospheric chemistry. It strives to identify uncertainties that inhibit progress and to encourage activities that contribute to their resolution.

CONT

In order to simplify the analytical procedures involved in determining the value of [sigma], Pasquill(1961-1962) and Gifford(1961) have devised graphical schemes for determining [sigma] for the six stability categories, A to F, discussed earlier... ;[sigma] values were determined from experimental observations within 1 km of ground sounds. The estimates are based on ideal meteorological conditions over flat terrain and should not be used indiscriminately for rough terrain or complex meteorological conditions. Although the Pasquill-Gifford estimates have been used on occasions for downwind distances up to 100 km under steady weather conditions, their application to buoyant plumes from tall stacks is highly speculative.
