Mandate: WMO facilitates international cooperation in the establishment of networks of stations for making meteorological, hydrological and other observations. It promotes the exchange and standardization of meteorological information and the uniform publication of data. 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.
Structure: WMO has eight technical commissions responsible for atmospheric sciences, basic systems, climatology, hydrology, instruments and methods of observation, and marine, aeronautical and agricultural meteorology. Procurement for field projects is centralized under the Field Projects Procurement and Contracts Unit in Geneva.
