Science and innovation are at the heart of the WMO strategy for improving national capacity to face weather hazards in a changing climate, and to provide better weather and climate related services to all citizens world- wide. The WMO World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) aims to expand the frontier of weather science by exploring new predictive capabilities, connecting weather and climate communities, and improving all elements of the weather information value chain.
WWRP aims at advancing further through research activities in the three core projects on High Impact Weather, Polar Prediction, and Sub-seasonal
to Seasonal prediction. A clear benefit of WWRP activities is in the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge, which help to make the latest advances in research more accessible and usable, especially for developing countries. Projects that demonstrate the use of break- through research in an operational framework play a vital role in helping to strengthen national research capacity and services worldwide, and thereby contribute to sustainable development aspirations.
