It was first founded and originated from the \u201cInternational Meteorological Organization\u201d which was established by the International Meteorological Congress at Vienna, Austria in the year 1873.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, World Meteorological Organization was first established on the 23<sup>rd<\/sup> of March in the year 1950 and had become the specialized meteorology agency of the United Nations to operate the weather and climate from one place as well as perform the operational hydrology including all the related geophysical sciences. The headquarters of the World Meteorological Organization is in Geneva, Switzerland which is a member of the Development Group, United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>The World Meteorological Organization has been established as a specialized agency in 1951 for meteorology to keep current details about the Earth\u2019s atmosphere behaviour, atmospheric interactions with the oceans, resulting in climate and distribution of the water resources. According to the statistics of 2013, this organization includes around 191 member states and territories membership, the conference of which was held on 11<sup>th<\/sup> of October in 1947 and approved in the year 1950.<\/p>\n<p>The policies of the World Meteorological Organization are determined by the World Meteorological Congress in the meeting after every four years in the presence of every member country of WMO. The hierarchy of the system is; Permanent Representative becomes a director at National Meteorological or Hydrometeorological Service, Executive Council to apply the policies by Congress decisions, 6 regional associations to address the regional concerns, 8 technical commissions to handle technical recommendations, Secretary-General to lead the secretariat and manage the WMO activities with the help of regular staffs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Also Check: <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/english\/essay\/climate-change-essay\/\">Essay on Climate Change<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_World_Meteorological_Day_is_Celebrated\"><\/span>Why World Meteorological Day is Celebrated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The organization was established aiming to establish a big meteorological station network contributing towards the safety and efficiency of the shipping services as well as the safety and welfare of the people.

WMO is an international organization for meteorology offering the best support for such international cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>It has been playing a very unique and commanding role in the field of meteorology which contributes to the safety and well being of humanity. Its leadership for organizing programs for National Meteorological and Hydrological Services provides a lot of help by protecting life and property from natural disasters. It safeguards the earth\u2019s environment and enhances the people\u2019s economic and social well being through the security of food, water resources and transport.<\/p>\n<p>An Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been established by the <strong>WMO<\/strong> and United Nations Environment Programme to directly work for Global Atmosphere Watch.
