There is an increasing need for better and more widely spread real-time measurements of meteorological parameters for both short-term weather forecasting and longer term climate studies.<\/p><p>It is energy from the sun that drives the weather, climate, biosphere and most processes on Earth and in the atmosphere. Kipp &amp; Zonen has been making instruments to measure solar radiation since 1927 and our products are key to many World Weather Watch programmes such as\u2019 the Global Climate Observing System, Global Atmosphere Watch, World Climate Research, Hydrology and Water Resources, and Antarctic Activities.<\/p><h3>Kipp &amp; Zonen develop instruments that will help\u00a0<\/h3><p>Kipp &amp; Zonen continues to work closely with meteorological organisations, scientists and researchers to improve and develop instruments that will help to enhance our understanding of weather and climate processes and enable better forecasting. We cannot prevent extreme weather events and natural disasters but by providing more accurate and more timely warnings the World Meteorological Organisation aims to reduce the severity of the impacts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06d1416 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"06d1416\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/library.wmo.int\/index.php?lvl=infopages&#038;pagesid=1&#038;lang=en_UK#.VRkhYmPI4_Adocuments\/WMD_2013_brochure_EN_final.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Find out more<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kipp &amp; Zonen congratulates the World Meteorological Organisation on celebrating 50 years of the World Weather Watch during this year\u2019s World Meteorological Day, 23rd March.
