1. 
   Resolution 10 (EC-LI) – Executive Council Working Group on Antarctic Meteorology,
   
2. 
   Resolution 6 (Cg-XII) – WMO Antarctic activities,
   

Considering that there is a need for meteorological and other environmental data from the Antarctic for the full implementation of the World Weather Watch and monitoring of climate change and of the ozone layer over the Antarctic,

RECOMMENDS:

1. 
   To maintain the EC Working Group on Antarctic Meteorology with the following terms of reference:

5. 
   To stimulate the development and regular updating of national databases of non-real-time meteorological data for the Antarctic;
   
6. 
   To develop and recommend regional coding practices which are to be applied in the Antarctic;
   
7. 
   To study problems relating to instruments and methods of observation peculiar to the Antarctic;
   
8. 
   To discuss questions and to make recommendations on meteorological research and operations related to the Antarctic;
   
9. 
   To maintain active contacts with other groups or bodies, such as the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the Joint Scientific Committee (JSC), the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programmes (COMNAP), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), WMO’s technical commissions, etc., with regard to aspects of Antarctic meteorology of particular relevance to their functions;

   That the Working Group make recommendations, as necessary, to the Executive Council within its terms of reference;
   
3. 
   That the Working Group will be composed of members nominated by the Permanent Representatives of Members which are Parties to the Antarctic Treaty and of Members which have not yet acceded to the Treaty but which have active meteorological programmes in the Antarctic;
   

Requests the Secretary-General:

1. 
   To arrange for necessary sessions of the Working Group and to provide the necessary Secretariat support;

   Manual on the Global Observing System (WMO-No. 544), Volume I, Part III, paragraphs 2.1.4 and 2.1.6,
   

CONSIDERING:

1. 
   That the establishment and maintenance of a basic synoptic network of surface and upper-air stations in the Antarctic, adequate to meet the requirements of Members and of the World Weather Watch, constitutes one of the most important obligations of Members under Article 2 of the WMO Convention,
   
2. 
   That the density of the current network of surface and upper-air stations is generally much less than that desirable,
   
3. 
   That global models can at present identify biases in station elevation measurements and are being rerun on past observations,

1. 
   That the stations and the observational programmes listed in the annex to this recommen­dation constitute the Antarctic Basic Synoptic Network;
   
2. 
   That Members be urged:
   

1. 
   To spare no effort in their endeavours to secure full implementation of the network of stations and observational programmes set forth in the annex to this recommendation;
   
2. 
   To seek to maintain radiosonde stations in the Antarctic Peninsula, and to establish when possible further stations in the interior of Antarctica;
   
3. 
   To consider the possibility of co-operating with other Members in sharing the costs of re-opening and operating previously functioning stations;
   
4. 
   To comply fully with the standard times of observation, the coding procedures and the data-collection standards, as laid down in the WMO Technical Regulations and the Manuals on the GOS, on Codes, on the GTS and on the GDPS;
