EC LXII Decision• The Council recommended that the Secretary-
General prepares for consideration by Sixteenth Congress a budget for the sixteenth financial period (2012-2015) that provides adequate resources within the range of proposals presented by the Secretary-General to the Executive Council.
• The budget will address effectively the priority areas which Council agreed should be the – Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), – Capacity Building– WMO Integrated Observations and Information
Systems– Disaster Risk Reduction, and– Aviation Meteorology.

WMO Priority Area: Aviation Meteorology
• Aviation Meteorological Services is a priority area of focus under this ER 1.
• The economic and social benefits that can be derived from air transport make it one of the world’s most important industries.
• Expand the provision of weather information needed to improve aviation safety and air traffic management;

• WMO Congress XV (2007) decision that integration in the context of WMO global observing systems defined as:– Establishment of a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable
system of observing systems, ensuring interoperability between its component systems;
– Address, in the most cost-effective way, all of WMO Programme (weather, climate, water and environment) requirements with a view to reducing the financial load on Members and maximizing administrative and operational efficiencies;
• WIGOS Framework major components:– Global Observing System (GOS)– Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW)– WMO Hydrological Global Observing System (WHYGOS)– Facilitate the access to observations of WMO co-sponsored
programmes (GCOS, GOOS, GTOS, etc)

WIGOS Priorities: Fill-in observing gaps
• Key Areas: Sustained observations on operational basis– Ocean (Surface, subsurface and atmosphere
above ocean) observations– Land (including Polar Regions and Cryosphere,
solid precipitation, etc)– Chemical components of atmosphere
• How: by integration of research and operational networks both In-situ and space

EC-LXII Doc.3.4 Para 3.4.16• The Council recalled that the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano
had a huge impact on air traffic across Northern Europe during April and May 2010, and expressed it’s appreciation to those Members who shared specialized ground and airborne observational data in support of the activities of the London VAAC.
• The Council further noted that a sustainable volcanic ash observational capability is a high priority activity. It urged the relevant technical commissions (CIMO) to work closely with ICAO and other relevant organizations to develop and implement such a capability, to promote development of appropriate Regional Volcanic Ash Monitoring Networks and related instrument development and also to assist in the strengthening and enhancement of the capabilities of the International Airways Volcano Watch volcano observatories.
• The Council further emphasized that WIGOS should be designed and implemented in a way that can respond to emerging and high priority requirements such as the observation of volcanic ash.

WDIS: WIGOS & WIS
• WIGOS & WIS - a framework enabling the integration and optimized evolution of WMO observing and information systems, and WMO’s contribution to co-sponsored systems.
• Members’ support is critical to provide additional resources in the form of:
contributions to the WIGOS Trust Fund and secondment services to the Secretariatduring the WIGOS Implementation phase to ensure successful WIGOS implementation.
