Panel on Polar and High Mountain Observations, Research, and Services
Applications, Polar, Antarctica, Arctic, Observations, Climate services, Research, Natural hazards
The Executive Council Panel on Polar and High Mountain Observation, Research and Services (EC-PHORS) plays a meaningful role on overseeing, coordinating and monitoring how polar and high-mountain observations, research, services and policies are developed and implemented within and externally to WMO, in response of significant changes in the polar and high mountain environments.
Global Cryosphere Watch
Cryosphere, Observations, Data exchange, WMO, Partnership, Antarctica, Arctic, Polar
The WMO's Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW) fosters international coordination and partnerships between scientific and operational communities with the goal of meeting the cryosphere data and information need of Members and partners, in support of Earth system monitoring, modeling and prediction. GCW operates under the remit of the Infrastructure Commission (INFCOM).
Arctic Council Observer
The WMO Polar and High Mountain regions priority activity promotes and coordinates relevant observations, research and services that are carried out in the Arctic, Antarctic and high mountain regions by nations and by groups of nations. It interfaces with all WMO activities (including the World Climate and World Weather Research Programmes) and other related programmes throughout the world, meeting global needs and requirements for observations, research and services in the polar and high mountain regions.
Cryosphere
The cryosphere is the part of the Earth‘s climate system that includes solid precipitation, snow, sea ice, lake and river ice, icebergs, glaciers and ice caps, ice sheets, ice shelves, permafrost, and seasonally frozen ground. The term “cryosphere” traces its origins to the Greek word ‘kryos’ for frost or ice cold.
Cryo-Hazards
The current global warming trend causes global mass loss of ice and snow, resulting in a general retreat of the cryosphere. These changes affect the surrounding natural systems and cause an increased occurrence rate of natural hazard events.

Natural hazards and disaster risk reduction
Natural hazards, Floods, Drought
Natural hazards are severe and extreme weather and climate events that occur in all parts of the world, although some regions are more vulnerable to certain hazards than others. Natural hazards become disasters when people’s lives and livelihoods are destroyed.
Notable Tropical Cyclones
Tropical cyclones, Disaster risk reduction, Disasters
A quick glance at the notable recent tropical cyclones recorded below emphasizes the need for improved impact-based multi-hazard early warning systems, mitigation measures and working with those at risk to prepare them to take quick effective action to save lives.
