Prof. Celeste Saulo, director of @SMN_Argentina, has been appointed as WMO Secretary-General. She will take office on 1 January 2024. She is the first woman to hold the position.
She won the requisite 2/3 majority of votes at #MeteoWorld

New #StateofClimate update from WMO and @MetOffice:
66% chance that annual global surface temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of next 5 years
98% likelihood that at least one of next five years will be warmest on
record.

SOFF is helping @WMO to build a truly global observing network for weather and climate reanalysis, filling persistent geographic gaps in observations, giving benefit to all for early warning of hazards. #EW4ALL – at Vernier, Suisse
This is the Systematic Observations Financing Facility #SOFF in 30 seconds.
SOFF was co-founded by @WMO, @UNDP and @UNEP in 2021. It is a crucial delivery vehicle of @antonioguterres' #EarlyWarningsForAll Initiative.

WMO’s Executive Council has endorsed UN #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative as a top priority.
We will work with partners to try to ensure that everyone is protected by life-saving early warnings in the next 5 years.

WMO's Executive Council has endorsed a planned new Global Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Infrastructure combining satellite and surface observations to support #ClimateAction to reduce record levels of heat-trapping gases like CO2

Amazing animation of a year of weather! See the daily beat of tropical convection, tropical cyclones, mid-latitude storms & the seasonal shift in monsoons. Satellite obs, coordinated through #CGMS, are a key piece of the @WMO Integrated Observing System #WIGOS – at Vernier, Suisse
ICYMI, you can now watch a whole year of #weather and witness the major storms to hit the globe in 2022. Thanks to the international cooperation with our partners, we're able to get a full view of the entire planet from #space 🛰️🌍

Thank you, David Obura @dobura, for the strong call out for sustained ocean observations and the need to link these to #biodiversity indicators.
@IocUnesco and GOOS are dedicated to support the delivery of ocean information needed in this process. #COP15

🚨🌍 Global Carbon Budget 2022, out now!🌍🚨
It provides the latest update on how we humans have tampered with Earth's remarkable system of #carbon stocks and flows.
So what are the take-homes from our latest update?

Lively discussion around GCOS Implementation Plan today at WMO-IPCC-MERI Pavilion #COP27
Special thanks to all the speakers @ReaManta @AlbertSFischer @han_dolman @SabOceano @CAlbergel

Our vision to build the global ocean observing system is a bold, urgent, and achievable step that we can take to mitigate and adapt to #ClimateChange.
Thank you everyone who joined GOOS and @POGO_Ocean at our #COP27 side event today!
#COP27 #EarthInfoDay was translated into an infographic in real time by the incredible @stephaniesaloli and @hazelahurley. Bravo! #ClimateVisualStories – at South Sinai, Egypt
#COP27 #EarthInfoDay @IocUnesco Vladimir Ryabinin: we have a big gap in #OceanObs to understand the impact of climate on ocean ecosystem services. @GOOSocean estimates only 7% of the ocean has sustained biological and ecosystems obs. The financing of all #OceanObs is fragile.
#COP27 #EarthInfoDay moderators Lars Peter Riishojgaard & @anyawaite wrap up: Good observations can mobilize strong #climateaction. A global goal on obs
can help ensure adequate coverage & improve the fragility of the system, especially those parts that remain research-funded.
#COP27 #EarthInfoDay: both @GOOSocean co-chairs @AnyaWaite and @TosteTanhua on stage for a panel on observations for #Adaptation and #EarlyWarning, with great insight from the speakers on the combination of natural system data with human data to identify risk and generate #action
.@GOOSocean Essential Ocean Variables #EOV for #OceanObs integrate with land and atmospheric variables to make the #GCOS Essential Climate Variables #ECV. Essential means both feasible to measure and high impact for climate action.
At Earth Information Day at #COP27
Earth observations underpin our monitoring, understanding of #climatechange, our efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and our future ability to adapt.
They are vital to all decisions on #ClimateAction

#COP27 #EarthInfoDay @anyawaite: most carbon observations are land or atmosphere, but the ocean stores 80% of the Earth's total carbon, of which over 90% is in the deep. #OceanObs are a vital part of an integrated Global Climate Observing System @gcos_un
