Guidelines on for Trainers in Meteorological, Hydrological and Climate Services WMO-No.1114

This Guidance to Communicating Climate Science and Services emerges from the experiences of the WMO Expert Team on Capacity Development and Communications, Task Team on Communications. This publication recommends approaches for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) to use as they continue to build their climate services. These approaches are supported by a wide breadth of materials, from peer-reviewed papers, technical reports, to committee meeting notes, by a deep depth of understanding from experts worldwide, and by a long length of experience in climate services within NMHS. The volume of knowledge created by the three dimensions—the breadth of material, depth of expertise, and length of experience--are captured in the Bibliography. This Guidance encapsulates and outlines the most salient points in an easy-to-read manual that can be used as a handy reference for success in communicating climate services.
