Dear
Reader,
The
Operational Newsletter
was first introduced in 1982, at the request of the Commission for Basic
Systems (CBS), with the objective of providing World Weather Watch Centres
with urgent notifications and a summary of the latest operational
information on the World Weather Watch and Marine Meteorological Services. In
December 2001 the CBS Management Group approved the electronic distribution
of the Newsletter thus
enabling operational centres to receive up-to-date information on a near
real-time basis.
This Newsletter is published at the end of each month and is disseminated
free
of charge through our on-line service.
Check our
home page for the most recent issue, alternatively, complete the subscription
form (if you havn’t already done so) and we will contact
you when it is available.
We
hope that this Newsletter has been of service to you.
Should you feel that we did not meet with your requirements
please contact us.
