On September 30, the second phase of the 17th Session of Regional Association II (Asia) of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) passed the resolution to recognize the official operation of Regional WIGOS Centre (RWC) Beijing and RWC Tokyo. The two RWCs will carry out joint observatory network monitoring and assessment within the scope of Asia. This news marks that RWC Beijing is capable of conducting meta data and observation data quality monitoring, assessment, tracking and improvement work within observatory network in RA II, WMO, which will be conducive to jointly elevate data quality...

Modern satellite observations offer unprecedented possibilities for local (regional) and global agriculture monitoring.They allow imaging the Earth’s surface with a spatial resolution of 10-20 meters and a repetition time of 1-2 days*.Today, such satellite monitoring is primarily carried out by Sentinel-2, but the information it collects is a continuation of previous satellite systems used for agriculture, such as Landsat.The products of these programs, in the form of photos and images, are already available under the sat4envi project, led by the IMGW-PIB. Data from the Sentinel-2 satellite...

NOAA’s Climate Program Office today launched a newly redesigned version of Climate.gov, NOAA’s award-winning, flagship website that provides the public with clear, timely, and science-based information about climate. The redesign expands the site’s already significant capacity to connect Americans with the resources they need to understand and plan for climate-related risks. Americans are facing increasingly frequent, severe, and often life-threatening risks from climate change-influenced extreme weather events. Communities, governments, and businesses have begun working to lower greenhouse...

In mid-August 2021, areas from western to eastern Japan experienced record-heavy rain. The conditions observed are mainly attributed to the following: - Unusually for mid-summer in eastern and western Japan, like atmospheric flow in the latter half of the early-summer rainy season, known as the Baiu, a stationary front was strengthened by a significant north-south gradient of temperature in the lower troposphere between the Okhotsk High to north of Japan and the southward shifted North Pacific Subtropical High (NPSH) expanding to the south of Japan. A continuous confluence of water vapor from...

Offenbach, 30 August 2021 – During the last month of summer 2021, Germany was mainly under the influence of low-pressure areas centring over the British Isles from where they gradually moved to southern Scandinavia. These resulted in frequent rainfall, which was accompanied at first by violent thunderstorms, extremely heavy localised precipitation and even tornados. Periods of high pressure and sunshine were generally only brief. The initially summery temperatures fell in the course of the month and were at times autumnal during the last ten days of the month. Consequently, August 2021 was...
