... of the World Meteorological Organization. The Tropical Meteorology Research Programme is designed to promote and coordinate research activities of Members in high priority areas of tropical meteorology. Emphasis is on the weather system scale, except for monsoons and drought related studies, which emphasis variability and prediction at the regional and seasonal scale. It is intended to improve social and economic conditions by conducting research to better understand the behaviour of tropical weather systems and further improve weather forecasting to help reduce the loss of life and social disruption arising from severe weather, such as the impact of tropical cyclones. 3, record 2, English, - Tropical%20Meteorology%20Research%20Programme

Initially this programme was called the World Climate Impact Studies Programme(WCIP), overall objective of which was to assess the sensitivity of socio-economic sectors to climate variability and change. In 1991, additional task of developing options for socio-economic response strategies related to climate variability and change was added to the programme. The main thrusts of WCIRP include :(i) testing of methodologies for national climate impact and sea level rise assessment;(ii) providing coordination of national climate impact and response strategies programmes;(iii) improved techniques for making inventories of sources and sinks of greenhouse gases;(iv) developing techniques for national response strategies;(v) improving public information; and(vi) air quality assessment and air pollution mitigation strategies. 4, record 3, English, - World%20Climate%20Impact%20Assessment%20and%20Response%20Strategies%20Programme

It includes the Global Atmosphere Watch, which integrates monitoring and research activities carried out under the Global Ozone Observing System(GO3OS) and the Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network(BAPMoN) and serves as a system to detect changes in the composition of the atmosphere, an important prerequisite to understanding human impact on the atmosphere and addressing important aspects of sustainable development. The Programme also includes weather prediction research; a Tropical Meteorology Research Programme relating to studies of monsoons, tropical cyclones, rain-producing tropical weather systems and droughts; and a programme on the physics and chemistry of clouds and weather modification. 2, record 4, English, - Atmospheric%20Research%20and%20Environment%20Programme

Il comprend aussi des programmes de recherche sur la prévision météorologique, un programme de recherche en météorologie tropicale - englobant l'étude de la mousson, des cyclones tropicaux, des systèms météorologiques tropicaux pluvigènes et des sécheresses - et un programme de recherche sur la physique et la chimie des nuages et sur la modification artificielle du temps. 3, record 4, French, - Programme%20consacr%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20recherche%20atmosph%C3%A9rique%20et%20%C3%A0%20l%27environnement
