The future role of NMHSs and the collaboration with the Private sector in the Global Weather Enterprise: WMO providing a platform for dialogue
An indication of the thinking taking place within NMHSs on these issues is provided by the approved “2016–2025 Strategy of the European NMHSs”, which has been agreed by 35 European NMHSs. This strategy states that: “In response to the anticipated growth of the private meteorology sector, the distinct roles of the European NMHSs with respect to data collection, model development, research, warnings and alerts need to be established, while at the same time collaboration with the private sector is stimulated.”
A key role for the public sector is in the long-term research and development needed to improve understanding of weather and in the use of that knowledge within NWP modelling codes. Private companies recognize that the weather enterprise has been built, and must continue to be built, on public sector investment in both the backbone of global observations and in basic research and development. However, the private sector can contribute in these areas by, for example, funding specific research projects.
In this connection, a new high-level policy document was approved by the eighteenth session of the World Meteorological Congress reflecting the WMO position, policy and guidance on public-private engagement.
This Declaration entitled Building Community for Weather, Climate and Water Actions replaces the Declaration of 1999 and will be circulated to all Governments and to pertinent international and regional organizations.

The World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) Hydromet Program helps national governments to drive investment and increase knowledge in modern systems and tools.
The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery supports the design and implementation of integrated hydrometeorological modernization projects, where a greater focus is made on the strengthening of services provided by the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and partner organizations, rather than only on investing in newer infrastructure.
Since the establishment of the program in 2011, the World Bank’s investment portfolio for hydrometeorological and Early Warning Systems (EWS) has more than tripled in size, now reaching almost $1 billion. This expansion is helping to reach the goal of serving an additional 100 million people in developing countries with access to high-quality hydrometeorological, and EWS data and services.
GFDRR Hydromet is also heavily involved in the initiatives related to the Global Weather Enterprise (GWE). As the GWE evolves, developing countries where NMHSs are relatively weak face a particular set of challenges in satisfying user needs and coping with the speed and scope of ongoing private sector advancements. Therefore, one of the GFDRR Hydromet Program’s objectives is to ensure the evolving GWE capability and business model are appropriately translated in the design and implementation of hydrometeorological modernization projects and programs supported by the World Bank.
Currently, GFDRR supports activities to strengthen disaster and climate resilience in:
Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Georgia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Turkey.
Also, GFDRR supports the 2nd phase of the SEE MHEWS-A project for 17 South-East European countries of RA VI.
SEE DPPI and WMO seek further opportunities to leverage on DRR
In April 2019, SEE DPPI held its annual meeting with its Member countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey), represented by high-level representatives from governments and civil protection authorities, to discuss and approve the Work Plan.
A good number of regional and international organizations was present. Among those were: Centre for Security Cooperation (RACVIAC), SPHERE, MSB, PPI, UNICEF, CIMA Research Foundation, JICA, CMDR COE, NALAS, Italian Civil Protection, UNDP, World Vision, SEE KMS and WMO.
The WMO Regional Office for Europe was invited to present its work and look for synergetic activities on DRR. That was a good opportunity to promote the NMHSs activity and present the WMO Roadmap on DRR. Giving the emphasis to full and unlimited data exchange as a prerequisite for accurate weather, climate and water-related warnings, the DPPI Member-countries were urged to provide their full support to the further development of their NMHSs and to rely on sub-regional cooperation whenever possible and needed under the GMAS framework.
The WMO Regional Office for Europe will have further discussions with DPPI Secretariat on possible joint projects on DRR with strong involvement of the Civil protection authorities, DPPI and UNISDR.
During the demonstration phase of the SEE-MHEWS-A project by the end of 2020, civil protection agencies will be invited for a joint meeting with the NMHSs.
Sixth Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction
Taking place every two years, the role of the Global Platforms (GP) is to assess and review progress with the implementation of global DRR agendas, serving as a platform for governments and stakeholders to share good practices, identify gaps and make recommendations to further accelerate implementation. A key outcome of the GP2017 in Cancún was the reaffirmation that the full implementation of the Sendai Framework will reinforce the achievement of other international agendas as well as practical coherence. An important element of the UN SG’s new “Integrated Platform for Prevention”, the GP2019 will inform the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development from a DRR perspective, contribute to a risk-informed implementation and monitoring of the 2030 Agenda, provide critical inputs into the UN Climate Summit in 2019. It has been organized by UN DRR with continuous input from the WMO.
The Second Conference on MHEW is being organized in conjunction with the GP2019 in order to use synergies as much as possible, bring the Conference outcomes to the GP2019 and to increase NMHS representation at the GP2019. It is a tremendous opportunity for the WMO community to showcase its key role in disaster risk reduction among all the major stakeholders from all levels.

Improved skills of operational meteorologists
From 14 to 17 May 2019, a basic training course for the South Eastern Europe Meteorological community was organized in Sarajevo by the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the EUMETSAT and EUMETCAL support. The course focused on the use of satellite data in the forecast. The course covered topics of basic satellite image interpretation, including fog and low cloud analysis, drought monitoring and synoptic-scale analysis with conceptual models.
The target audience for the course was the meteorological forecasters from the S-E European countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Greece, Kosovo (UNSCR 1244/1999), Moldova, Montenegro, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. Since it is a basic course it was designed for young or less experienced forecasters.
The lessons were tailored to enhance the following satellite skills for operational forecasters:
- Skill 1: Identify surface features in satellite images
- Skill 2: Identify cloud types and their characteristics
- Skill 3: Identify and interpret broad-scale, synoptic and mesoscale systems
- Skill 4: Identify and interpret atmospheric phenomena
- Skill 5: Interpret derived fields and derived products
The course improved the skills of operational meteorologists, especially in the interpretation of satellite images and products.
Contribution to the WMO methodology for cataloguing hazardous weather, climate, water and space weather events
The eighteenth session of the World Meteorological Congress recognized the results of the test phases conducted in 2018-19 in Europe and South-West Pacific, coordinated by the WMO RA VI Regional Climate Centre (RCC) Node on Climate Monitoring in Offenbach, Germany, and adopted the cataloguing methodology hereafter referred to as “WMO Cataloguing of Hazardous Events” (WMO-CHE) and requested the technical commissions and other bodies, in collaboration with the regional associations, relevant partner organizations and entities, to set up a mechanism for the coordination of the implementation of this methodology on an operational basis.
The cataloguing methodology will support consistent, robust and efficient implementation of key operational WMO activities such as supporting MHEWS or the Climate Watch System (CWS) and seamless interactions between regional and national data for data recording of such events.

Hydrology: observations network, data exchange/WHOS regional implementation, forecasting and service delivery
The Hydrological community of RA VI met in Bratislava, Slovakia
Group photo, Regional Hydrology Forum
The fourth meeting of the RA VI Hydrology Forum was held on 2 – 4 April 2019 in the conference hall of the Tatra Hotel, Bratislava, Slovakia, at the kind invitation of the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute. The forum was attended by 65 participants, including 41 men and 24 women, representing 32 Member-countries of RA VI, 7 partner organisations and WMO.
The Hydroforum could contribute to a number of regional activities such as the assessment of forecasting capability, the validation of forecasts, implementation of WHOS through the appointment of national focal points, as well as the development of the Quality Management Framework- Hydrology by supporting various aspects of the WMO Project X for assessment of the Performance of Flow Measurement Instruments and Techniques and by a wider involvement of the National Hydrological and Meteorological Services in CEN/TC318 Hydrometry.
Recognizing the need for many countries in the Regional Association VI (Europe) for a capability support facility such as the one that is envisaged in the framework of GHSF HydroHub, the Hydroforum recommended several activities to be considered by the RA VI Task Team on hydrology for its work plan.
RA VI started the assessment of the end-to-end flood early warning systems
As part of the second phase of the project ‘South-East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System,’ a pilot hydrological modelling system will be developed for selected river catchment(s) in the SEE region. A survey will be used to assess the basin level flood forecasting systems in SEE-MHEWS-A countries based on the Commission of Hydrology Assessment Guidelines for Flood Forecasting. The survey covers all main aspects relevant for flood forecasting (observations, data management, modelling, forecasting etc.). Based on the survey results, the pilot river catchment(s) will be selected. Furthermore, the survey will be a source of information for further phases of the SEE-MHEWS-A project.
Dr Yuri Simonov from Roshydromet is engaged in the project to support the hydrological data management activities. Dr Simonov is the Advisory Working Group member of the Commission for Hydrology, responsible for the CHy flood forecasting activities. He is also a member of the RA VI Task Team on Hydrology, leading the flood forecasting related activities in RA VI. He will be responsible for collecting and processing the responses as well as activities related to collecting the necessary data for the development of the pilot hydrological modelling system.
In that respect, South East Europe will be a test subregion through the SEE-MHEWS-A project, which outcomes will be utilised further by the WMO Commission for Hydrology in their broad dissemination.
The hydrological fundamental pillars of the WMO Strategic Plan
In view of their relevance to the fulfilment of the long-term ambitions for the operational hydrological community, the eighteenth session of the World Meteorological Congress decided that the eight ongoing hydrological activities and systems, such as:
- Quality Management Framework;
- Assessment o the performance of flow measurement;
- Global hydrometry support facility;
- Hydrological data operations and measurements;
- WMO Flood Forecasting Initiatives and hydrological contributions to Disaster Risk Management, including Flood and Drought;
- WMO Global Hydrological Status and Outlook System;
- Capacity building in hydrology and water resources management;
- World Water Data Initiative,
are fundamental pillars that support the WMO Strategic Plan and its further development.
The governance structure of the above initiatives requires the formal representation of the Commission for Hydrology, which will be disbanded according to the Transition Plan of the ongoing WMO Reform.
The eighteenth session of the WMO Congress established an Open Committee of Congress entitled the WMO Hydrological Assembly with the approved Terms of References and elected Jan Danhelka (Czech Republic) as chairperson, who will represent the Hydrological Assembly between the Congress' sessions.

Arctic and High Mountain Areas: Observations, Research and Services
The 11th Arctic Council Ministerial meeting
back to back to the second session of the Polar Arctic RCOF
On May 7, Finland hosted the 11th Arctic Council Ministerial meeting in Rovaniemi. Minister-level representatives from the eight Arctic States convened to review and approve work completed under the two-year Finnish Chairmanship to improve sustainable development and environmental protection in the Arctic. The Arctic States were joined by delegations from the Council's indigenous Permanent Participant organizations, the Chairs of the six Working Groups, and Observers.
The World Meteorological Organization received observer status in the Arctic Council in 2017 when Finland took over the Council's chairmanship. The development of meteorological cooperation was one of the four priorities of the Finnish chairmanship. Finland's two-year chairmanship of the Arctic Council ended in May at the Foreign Ministerial Meeting organised in Rovaniemi.
To watch the event, click HERE.
To end the Finnish chairmanship, and as a side event to the Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting, the Finnish Meteorological Institute organised a seminar in Rovaniemi, bringing together the meteorological institutes of the Arctic Council Member States and an impressive set of representatives of indigenous peoples, local population and traditional knowledge. In the event, the service providers, that is the meteorological institutes, had an opportunity to hear what kind of knowledge the people living in the Arctic region possess in relation to climate change, weather, ice, snow and sea. In turn, the meteorological community was given the chance to express what kind of expertise they already have to offer and what they are prepared to develop.
Finland will use the experience of this chairmanship when will take over the EU Presidency in July 2019.
For the next two years, the chairman's gavel has been passed to Iceland.

The ArcRCC-Network and Polar Arctic RCOF
Climate change in the Arctic is affecting the entire Earth system. Northerners, Indigenous communities, industry and wildlife are experiencing significant and direct impacts. For example, temperature increases have led to significant reductions in sea ice, thawing permafrost and coastal erosion.
To meet the Arctic adaptation and decision-making needs, substantial progress has been made towards the establishment of an Arctic Regional Climate Centre Network (ArcRCC-Network).
ArcRCC-Network is based on the WMO RCC concept with active contributions from all the Arctic Council member countries through a mutually agreed structure consisting of three sub-regional geographical nodes, namely:
(i) North America Node,
(ii) Northern Europe and Greenland Node and
(iii) Eurasia Node.
The Pan-Arctic Regional Climate Outlook Forum (PARCOF) is a flagship activity of the ArcRCC-Network, following the well-known Regional Climate Outlook Forum (RCOF) concept supported by WMO and its partners around the world.
The main objectives of PARCOF are to:
• establish a sustainable interaction mechanism between climate information providers and users on an ongoing basis;
• review monthly and seasonal forecast products for the region (temperature, precipitation as well as various operational and experimental sea ice products) and develop statements in plain language to communicate the information as well as the associated risks;
• provide a platform to work together to co-develop useful output products such as consensus statement on the current status and future outlook of the Arctic climate for the upcoming season, taking into account northern/indigenous perspectives;
• engage with key users, decision-makers and indigenous knowledge holders in a dialogue to better understand their needs and for them to explore how indigenous perspectives can be mobilized by the ArcRCC-Network;
• discuss with the polar scientific community, especially those involved in the Polar Prediction Project (PPP) and Year Of Polar Prediction (YOPP) activities, how advances in knowledge will translate into improvements in regional-scale services delivered through the ArcRCC-Network; and
• learn about the climate information currently used for planning and decision making, and user needs for climate information, also to raise user awareness on new climate products and services including their reliability aspects.
PARCOF-3, Rovaniemi
The third session of PARCOF was held on May 8-9, 2019 in Rovaniemi, Finland, hosted by the Finnish Meteorological Institute. The PARCOF-3 brought together about 50 participants, including representatives of Arctic Indigenous Peoples, scientists from all of the Arctic Council Member States, various stakeholders and Permanent Participants of the Arctic Council. There are six Arctic Indigenous organizations that hold Permanent Participant status in the Arctic Council: Aleut International Association, Arctic Athabaskan Council, Gwich'in International Council, Inuit Circumpolar Council, Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North, and the Saami Council.
A consensus statement has been developed with a collaborative effort by the ArcRCC network, which reviews the trends in the historical monitoring data, recent observations, forecasts from models, and uses regional expertise to fill gaps in the data. The consensus statement includes a seasonal summary and forecast verification of the previous 2018-2019 winter season and an outlook for the upcoming 2019 summer season. The statement was adopted by the participants at the end of the PARCOF-3 meeting.
More information on Polar Arctic RCOF read HERE.
Priority activities for polar and high-mountain regions for the next financial period, as part of the WMO Strategic Plan
The following priority activities are proposed for WMO polar and high-mountain activities as part of the Strategic Plan:
- Surface and Space Observations
- Polar Predictions and Services, including Climate Services
- GCW Preoperational Phase
- High-Mountain Activities
- The transition from Research to Operation and Services
- Resources and Partnership
The eighteenth session of the WMO Congress concurred with Decisions 42 (EC-70) and 43 (EC-70) and strongly endorsed the initiative for the organization of a High Mountain Summit in 2019, and the initiative for the designation by the United Nations of the year 2020 or later, as an United Nations (UN) International Year of Snow and Ice, as coordination mechanisms for increasing the focus and sustaining the awareness and understanding of the importance of snow and ice in the climate system and of the implications of impending changes in the Earth’s cryosphere for human societies.

The tenth anniversary of the EUMETSAT Information days in the Region
The EUMETSAT Information Days have been organised on a biennial basis since 2009 celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2019.
EUMETSAT, WMO and NMHSs exchange information on the planned activities, notably data access/training and consider the possibilities for joint actions to improve access to and use of satellite data in the countries of these regions.
As a follow-up to the Data Access for Western Balkan and Eastern Europe and Satellite Data for Central Asia projects, to ensure continuous operational access to satellite data and information, to maximise the benefits of the WMO Member-countries from the operational use of the data and products supplied by EUMETSAT from its own satellites and those of the EU’s Copernicus Programme, EUMETSAT in collaboration with WMO, organized Information days for the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs):
- In March in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, for the NMHSs of the Western Balkan countries, and
- in April in Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana), Kazakhstan, for the NMHSs of Eastern European, Caucasus and Central Asian countries.
The Information Days contribute to reinforced cooperation in the Region and aim at ensuring that the NMHS have continuous operational access to the satellite data and trained personnel for their exploitation. With this EUMETSAT contributes to the implementation of several WMO activities, such as GFCS, GCOS, WCRP, and JCOMM to provide better services to the users.
EUMETSAT satellites are a component of the space segment of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) of the WMO World Weather Watch, and EUMETSAT is involved in corresponding training and data access activities to facilitate the use of and access to satellite data.
The GBON concept has been adopted by the eighteenth session of the World Meteorological Congress
The Global Basic Observing Network (GBON) is the foundation upon which the Regional Basic Observing Networks (RBONs) are built to respond to requirements of a broader range of WMO application areas, including further requirements of global NWP beyond the essential base provided by the GBON. Hence, all GBON stations/platforms and their observing programmes (variables and schedules) are included in the respective RBON of the region in which they are operating. The GBON was adopted by the eighteenth session of the World Meteorological Congress. The GBON stations/platforms must comply with a list of requirements, as specified in the Manual on the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WMO-No. 1160).

In Memoriam Professor Zaviša Janjić
1949-2019
Progress requires scientific and technological breakthroughs, which can only be done by a dedication.
The life and work of Zaviša Janjić show exactly that - a constant devotion to the science and technology to which he remained faithful until his last days. Yes, his life was very much different than of those younger generations and that is why it is important for WMO to celebrate his work and life. His example may and should serve as a role model of how a true scientist address challenges, a process in which very often, or most of the time, work is put in front of other priorities.
In his early days, Janjic was committed to working on scientific challenges that became his own personal challenge. He dived deep into the problems of how to predict accurately the weather using numerical weather prediction models. His early career took him from Serbian weather service to what is now known as the world's leading centre for mid-range weather forecasting - ECMWF. In early 1970, immediately when the ECMWF was formed, Zaviša worked there in close collaboration with its first director prof. Aksel Wiin-Nielsen. Janjić's first grid-point numerical weather prediction model was also used in these early days of the ECMWF. Thereafter the centre moved to spectral techniques to solve governing equations of atmosphere.
Later on, Professor Janjić spent most of his career working in weather service and university. Requirements of the operational practice in weather services sharpened his mind and ability to rapidly tackle scientific problems impeding the proper application of NWP models in operational practice. And Zavisa was the scientist able to solve these problems with elegance, which shows that he was not only a great scientist but also very much aware of and able to utilize contemporary computational technology.
He created and kept on improving the weather prediction models of Yugoslav national weather service, and afterwards Serbian weather service. In the middle of his career, he moved to the USA, to work at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction - NCEP. Zavisa installed the latest version of the then ETA model at NCEP and made it operational NWP model for the US. He never lost the contact with his homeland, and was constantly improving the operational models in both USA and, through guiding young scientist in Serbia, the Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia operational NWP model.
Once Prof. Janjić said: "There have been many challenges in my career. Some of them took me years to resolve, and some I have not yet resolved. Apart from teaching, I spent most of my career working in weather services. In such environments, one is permanently exposed to problems requiring immediate responses. It was challenging, but also scientifically stimulating, and I believe very beneficial since I was in a position to see a bigger picture and respond in a more coherent way to various issues I had to deal with."
There is an even bigger picture that we see as a consequence of professor Janjic's life and work - an extraordinary example of devotion to science and prosperities of weather services. Having in mind all this World Meteorological Organization awarded Professor Zaviša Janjić with International Meteorological Organization (IMO) Prize in recognition of his outstanding life-long contributions to the advancement of theory and practice of atmospheric modelling and numerical weather prediction, in particular, for the development of generations of atmospheric models based on his innovative numerical and parameterization schemes.
WMO express sincere condolences to his family, beloved wife Gordana, and loving daughters Tijana and Ksenija. The whole WMO community wishes to thank you for all the support you gave to your husband and father, and by doing so make his great achievement possible.
