* The indice forêt météo is the French name for Forest fire weather index, an estimation of the risk of wildfire computed by Météo France and the Meteorological Service of Canada.

Meteorological winter is the method of measuring the winter season used by meteorologists based on " sensible weather patterns " for record keeping purposes, so the start of meteorological winter can change depending on how far north one lives.

According to the World Meteorological Organization's Commission for Atmospheric Sciences ( Mclnturff, 1978 ): a stratospheric warming can be said to be major if 10 mb or below the latitudinal mean temperature increases poleward from 60 degree latitude and an associated circulation reversal is observed ( that is, the prevailing mean westerly winds poleward of 60 latitude are succeeded by mean easterlies in the same area ).

A list of U. S. operated land based launch sites can be found in Appendix C, U. S. Land-based Rawinsode Stations of the Federal Meteorological Handbook # 3, titled Rawisonde and Pibal Observations, dated May 1997.

The United States Department of Defense's Meteorological Satellite ( DMSP ) can " see " the best of all weather vehicles with its ability to detect objects almost as ' small ' as a huge oil tanker.

Hurricane Juan has also resulted in several changes to the Meteorological Service of Canada's Canadian Hurricane Centre, which has relocated from a vulnerable and exposed location in an office building in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to a more secure location that can withstand hurricane damage.

The instrument used for assessing environmental thermal comfort in terms of operative temperature is called a eupatheoscope and was invented by A. F. Dufton in 1929 .< ref > Glossary of Meteorology, American Meteorological Society, < http :// amsglossary. allenpress. com / glossary / browse? s = e & p = 42 >, accessed Sept 2010 </ ref > Mathematically, operative temperature can be shown as ;

This equipment can be referred to as CAMRa ( Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar ).

Meteorological studies can help researchers measure the efficacy of forest canopies in offsetting global climate change.

At ECMWF, users can discover and download data through a web interface linked to the Meteorological Archival and Retrieval System ( MARS ).

It is worthy to note that many meteorologists with degrees and / or certifications from accredited meteorological university programs will work to gain a Seal of Approval from the National Weather Association or American Meteorological Society to add to their credentials because it shows that they can relay weather information to the public in a sound and understandable manner.

Indeed, as early as 1959, even before independence, Mauritius informed the World Meteorological Organization that it considered Tromelin to be part of its territory.

The Permanent Representative should be the director of the National Meteorological or Hydrometeorological Service.

Pollution levels rise significantly in winter when cold air clings to the soil ; researchers at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute assessed Milan's metropolitan area to be one of Europe ’ s most polluted.

In 1880, Philip Weilbach, secretary and librarian at the Art Academy in Copenhagen, and like Luke Howard, an amateur meteorologist, proposed and had accepted by the International Meteorological Committee ( IMC ) the designation of a new free-convective vertical genus type, cumulonimbus, which would be distinct from cumulus and nimbus and identifiable by its appearance and ability to produce thunder.

The symbol used on the map for each of these levels at a particular observation time will be for the genus, species, variety, mutation, or cloud motion that is considered most important according to criteria set out by the World Meteorological Organization ( WMO ).

A world data center was created under the organization that eventually came to be called the International Meteorological Organization.

Qin Dahe, the former head of the China Meteorological Administration, said that the recent fast pace of melting and warmer temperatures will be good for agriculture and tourism in the short term ; but issued a strong warning:

It was the first time that the Meteorological Service of Canada had specifically requested a hurricane name be retired.

It was also agreed that it would probably be necessary at some time to consult the Meteorological Department and ORS Fighter Command but that these two bodies should not at present be asked to nominate representatives ”.

The Cooke Refractor had been out of use since the Meteorological Office had given it to Hart House, but it was little used and was moved into the northern dome in 1951 to be used by undergraduates.
