The International Meteorological Organization ( IMO ; 1873–1951) was the first organization formed with the purpose of exchanging weather information among the countries of the world. It came into existence from the realization that weather systems move across country boundaries; and that knowledge of pressure, temperature, precipitations, etc., upstream and downstream are needed for weather forecasting . It was superseded by the World Meteorological Organization .

48-605: A network of observatories that measure atmospheric parameters in addition to the meteorological parameters such as ultraviolet radiation, solar radiation, and ozone levels. The first weather station in Antarctica was in 1904 when an observatory that both measured meteorological and geomagnetic parameters was open on Orcadas Base on Laurie Island in the South Orkney Islands ( Spanish : Orcadas del Sur ). Currently, SMN maintains 6 synoptic weather stations in Antarctica on

Simplifying Teisserenc de Bort's vision, the IMO decided that the network should collect, calculate, and distribute monthly and annual averages for pressure, temperature, and precipitation from a well-distributed sample of land based on meteorological stations, in effect a global climatological database. The distribution standard

The OMA was under the Ministry of Justice, Cult and Public Instruction ( Spanish : Ministerio de Justicia, Culto e Instrucción Pública ). The first national network of meteorological stations and geomagnetic observations was established in 1873. Later on that year from 2 September to 16 September, the OMA attended the International Meteorological Congress in Vienna , Austria-Hungary . The International Meteorological Congress in 1873 agreed for
264-704: The directors of national meteorological services. A Permanent Meteorological Committee was established with Buys Ballot , director of the Dutch meteorological service , becoming the first president. A second congress in Rome 1879 decided on the IMO establishment and elected an International Meteorological Committee to prepare for the next Conference of Directors. The director of the Central Geophysical Observatory in Saint Petersburg , Swiss born Heinrich von Wild

#1732884334660288-653: The establishment of the International Meteorological Organization . The first solar radiation observations were made in 1874 in Córdoba . In 1875, Argentina made the first international exchange of meteorological data with neighbouring Chile. In 1898, Federal law Nº3727 was passed by the Argentine National Congress which transferred the OMA to Ministry of Agriculture ( Spanish : Ministerio de Agricultura de la Nación ). In June 1924,
312-560: The latter's annual budget never exceeded US$ 20,000. In September 1929 the Copenhagen Conference of Directors set up a technical Commission For Climatology, which held a meeting at Innsbruck discussing issues such as the relationship between dynamic meteorology and climatology. At its 1934 Wiesbaden meeting the Commission designated the thirty-year period from 1901 to 1930 as the reference time frame for climatological standard normals.
