Simple (fast track) amendment to the Manual on WIS for implementation 17 May 2016
President of WMO has approved the first simple (fast track) amendment to the Manual on WIS for 2016. This modifies the definition of the keyword “WMOEssential” in the code list “WMO_DataLicenseCode” (Table 14 to Annex C to the Manual on WIS). The formal amendment to WMO-No. 1060 Manual on WIS is available from http://wis.wmo.int/WIS-Manual.
The change is intended to clarify that the keyword may be used to describe “essential” hydrological and GFCS relevant climate related data. This clarifies the intention of the keyword that it should be used to describe information that is classed as “essential” under WMO Resolutions 40 (Cg-CII), 25 (Cg-XIII) or 60 (Cg-17).
This change will be implemented on 17 May 2016.
