A new publication containing the outcomes of the CAeM Global Survey on Aeronautical Meteorology Service Provision has been posted on the WMO website. The survey was conducted by the Commission for Aeronautical Meteorology (CAeM) between November 2016 and February 2017. The primary objective of the survey was to establish a comprehensive, consolidated global view on the existing institutional arrangements for the provision of meteorological services to international air navigation.
After 19 years of dedicated service to the Aeronautical Meteorology Programme of WMO and the Commission for Aeronautical Meteorology, Ms Brigitte Vuitteney-Gelman went to a well deserved retirement. A farewel party for Brigitte took place at the WMO Secretariat on the 19 December. Brigitte received a lot of flowers and thanks from all colleagues who worked with her including the members of the CAeM Management Group
Best wishes to Brigitte for a long and happy retired life!

The CAeM Global Survey on National Arrangements for the Provision of Aeronautical Meteorological Service by the WMO Members has received an excellent response rate. As of 31 January 2017, 165 complete responses have been received from the 190 surveyed Member States and Territories, which makes a 87% global response rate. The status of responses is graphically presented below:
Seven years ago, a major change for the aviation meteorology was adopted by the WMO Congress and this change started with the implementation of a new concept - Meteorologist competency - which became effective on 1 December 2013.
In order to ensure not only the competency of Aviation Meteorologists but also the education level for Aviation Forecasters, the Basic Instruction Package for Meteorologists (BIP-M) became compulsory.
We are pleased to inform you of the conduct of an online survey by the Commission for Aeronautical Meteorology (CAeM) Expert Team on Governance (ET-GOV) on the national arrangements for the provision of aeronautical meteorological service in the WMO Members.
