(2) Training of Experts of Standardization and Meteorology of Developing Countries

There have also been significant advances in communications, navigation, meteorology and sensing.

Others reported that they are establishing national and regional databases on meteorology and the environment.

The other sets of data to be produced include topography, meteorology, soil suitability and land ownership.

Other participants had several years experience in remote sensing, satellite meteorology and the use of databases such as GIS.

Outer space systems play a vital role in many important areas, such as telecommunications, navigation, meteorology and remote sensing.

Space technology in developing countries should be related to use by the public sector, namely for telecommunications, remote sensing, meteorology and navigation.

ERS data, when used either alone or in conjunction with other data, are particularly useful in the following applications oceanography, glaciology, meteorology, forestry, soils, agriculture and hydrology.

Institutionally, most Parties initially assigned a governmental body that is in charge of science and technology or meteorology to be responsible for climate change at country level.

Understanding atmospheric change requires an integrated system for collecting data on a wide array of parameters, including greenhouse gases, ozone, solar radiation, precipitation chemistry, aerosols, reactive gases and meteorology.

(i) Implementation of projects in space medicine and biology (the Bion satellite) and in meteorology (the Meteor 3M satellite with the United States made SAGE 3 instrument on board)

The peaceful use of outer space is indispensable for countries with undertakings in communication, navigation, space flight, meteorology, remote sensing, disaster reduction and other fields of science and technology.

The Department of Meteorology of Jordan conducts space activities through its two satellite stations, one of which is installed at the old airport, the other at the Queen Alia International Airport.

As a result of globalization, space applications, such as in communications, broadcasting, meteorology, navigation, education and health, and environmental and crop management, have become crucial to the everyday functioning of modern society.

The denial of access to supercomputers at certain Latin American universities limits cooperative work with other international academic groups and advanced research in areas such as computing, nanotechnology, the neurosciences and meteorology.

We are not proposing to ban or somehow limit the operation of systems in outer space that perform important information functions such as communications, monitoring, navigation, geodesy, meteorology, etc., including defence functions.

Many Parties also reported that one of their priorities is strengthening the capacity of institutions involved in the collection, processing and maintenance of data and information relating to such areas as meteorology, hydrology and climatology.

We are not proposing to ban or in any way limit the functioning in space of systems which carry out important auxiliary military functions such as communications, surveillance, navigation, geodesy and meteorology including for defence purposes.

According to the statistics of hot weather in the districts and counties by the portal of the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Meteorology, in addition to Youyang, the rest of the city can receive different degrees of high temperature allowance.

Armenia, Gambia, Guyana, India, Namibia, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Viet Nam were among the many Parties that reported having undertaken meteorological observation since the late 1880s, including collecting, processing and disseminating data and information on meteorology and hydrology.

The two Indian built multi purpose satellites, INSAT 2A and INSAT 2B, respectively launched in July 1992 and July 1993, together with INSAT 1D, launched in 1990, provided uninterrupted services in the areas of telecommunication, television broadcasting, meteorology, disaster warning and distress alerts.

With the satellites designed and built by India in the INSAT and IRS series performing to specification, the country has started to reap the benefits of space technology for developmental applications, specifically in the areas of communication, broadcasting, meteorology, disaster management and the survey and management of resources.

The presentations to the Workshop covered the use of remote sensing, satellite meteorology, satellite positioning systems and satellite communications and how they could be used, separately or collectively, to prevent disasters or to forecast, monitor and mitigate the effects of severe weather phenomena, such as flooding, desertification and drought.

They provided information on, and identified agencies responsible for, institutional arrangements to facilitate research, through the ministries of environment and physical planning, national offices of meteorology (Dominican Republic, United Republic of Tanzania), national councils and specialized centres (Brazil, China, Gambia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan), and universities (India, Nepal, South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania).

Research initiatives that were reported fell into the following categories issues relating to scientific aspects of the atmosphere, climate, hydrology, and meteorology, including modelling of climate processes climate change impacts and adaptation climate change mitigation and ongoing or planned research programmes covering economic sectors, such as agriculture, health, forestry, waste, coastal zones and water resources.

Having established INSAT and IRS satellite systems to provide uninterrupted space services in the areas of telecommunication, television broadcasting, meteorology, disaster warning and natural resources survey and management, India achieved a significant milestone on 15 October 1994 in developing the capability to launch those satellites through the success of the second developmental launch of its polar satellite launch vehicle, PSLV D2.
