Note
The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on theThe Twelfth World Meteorological Congress (1995) adopted Resolution 40 (Cg-XII) - "WMO Policy and Practice for the Exchange of Meteorological and Related Data and Products Including Guidelines on Relationships in Commercial Meteorological Activities".
When adopting the Resolution, Congress reminded Members of their obligations, under Article 2 of the WMO Convention, to facilitate world-wide co-operation in the establishment of observing networks and to promote the exchange of meteorological and related information in the interest of all nations, and urged Members to implement the practice on the international exchange of meteorological and related data and products.
According to the practice adopted by Congress, all meteorological and related data and products required to fulfil Members’ obligations under WMO Programmes would be encompassed by the combination of essential and additional data and products exchanged by Members. In Annex 1 to Resolution 40 (Cg-XII) Congress urged Members to make known to all Members, through the WMO Secretariat, those additional meteorological and related data and products on which Members placed conditions related to their re-export for commercial purposes outside the receiving country (or group of countries forming a single economic group).
WMO publishes the notifications issued by Members and relevant international centres on additional data and products normally twice per year (April and October) by means of circular letters. These letters also include the conditions the originators place on the data and products. The complete list of additional data and products is available on the WMO server. Updates, received in the WMO Secretariat will also be included in the Operational Newsletter.
2.1 Region
The list of Additional Data and Products is arranged in sections corresponding to the World Meteorological Organization regions:
