... 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 4, English, - Tropical%20Meteorology%20Research%20Programme

... of the World Meteorological Organization. The Atmospheric Research and Environment Programme promotes atmospheric research and development and technology transfer between Members. 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 5, English, - Atmospheric%20Research%20and%20Environment%20Programme

[...] de l'Organisation météorologique mondiale. Le PRAE vise à stimuler la recherche atmosphérique, de même que l'élaboration de techniques et leur échange entre les Membres. Un de ses volets est la Veille de l'atmosphère globale, qui regroupe toutes les activités de surveillance et de recherche menées dans le cadre du Système mondial d'observation de l'ozone (SMOO3) et du Réseau de surveillance de la pollution atmosphérique de fond (PABMoN) et dont l'objectif essentiel est de détecter les modifications de la composition de l'atmosphère, ce qui est indispensable pour bien comprendre l'influence de l'homme sur l'atmosphère et pour faciliter la pratique d'un développement durable. 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 5, French, - Programme%20consacr%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20recherche%20atmosph%C3%A9rique%20et%20%C3%A0%20l%27environnement

The outer fabric, or skin of this tent, is a one-piece, preformed body manufactured from 9. 85 or 12. 29 ounce duck material which is fire, water, weather, and mildew resistant. These tents are designed for use in tropical or temperate zones, but with the installation of a liner and/or stove, may be used effectively in colder climates. The liner is also effective in reducing heat from midsummer sun. Liners are not normally issued with the tent, but are available through the supply system. 2, record 6, English, - fire%2C%20water%2C%20weather%2C%20and%20mildew%20resistant
