World Meteorological Organization

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) brings together national meteorological services to promote the sharing of data and services. It is a United Nations organisation.

This is the WMO Codes Registry, which publishes structured content from the official WMO manuals in a web accessible form.

  • A register publishes an official record of items.
  • In some cases, this will be a collection of other registers.
  • A registry is collection of registers, published by an authoritative source.

The WMO Codes Registry enables the WMO to publish codes as individual resources within a resource structure. These codes are officially managed within the \ WMO Manuals on Codes.
