WMO-No. 8 - Provisional 2020 Edition

PROVISIONAL 2020 EDITION OF THE WMO-No. 8 (Vol IV & Vol III/Ch 4) What's NEW

The Provisional 2020 Edition is now available for your information!

All valuable comments obtained during the Members' review of the Preliminary 2020 Edition of WMO-No. 8 (Volume IV and Volume III/Chapter 4), that had been conducted earlier this year, were addressed and used for development of the Provisional 2020 Edition of the WMO-No. 8.

Each individual chapter included in this review process is accessible in two versions (with and without track changes) from the table below.

Upon formal approval, either by Infrastructure Commission or its president on behalf of the Commission, the WMO Secretariat will publish these chapters and make them available from the WMO library.  

Should you have any questions about this provisional edition, do not hesitate to contact us by sending an email to Mr Krunoslav Premec at: kpremec@wmo.int.

Note 1: Each chapter is available in two versions. The "track-change" (...tc) version shows all the changes made to the 2018 edition, visible in track-change mode. In the "clean" (...clean) version file all those changes have already been accepted. An overview of a size of the proposed updates is available here.

Note 2: The missing figures and tables in this provisional edition will remain the same as they were in 2018 edition and will be inserted before publication. To check them, please visit the most recent version of the WMO-No. 8, reachable here. Also, the formatting of the documents will be finalized at the time of publication of the new edition.
