Reviewing the year's activities, the annual report of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for 1957 stated that WMO technical assistance to underdeveloped countries had reached a new high in number of national weather services aided and number of experts sent to the countries. WMO provided experts or granted fellowships to 26 countries or territories during the year, under the UN Expanded Program of Technical Assistance, and sent instruments and equipment used in weather reporting and forecasting in connection with technical assistance missions to Afghanistan, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Iceland, Nicaragua, Sudan, and Uruguay. During this period 24 fellowships were awarded for advanced training of personnel in weather forecasting, tropical meteorology, hurricane forecasting, maritime meteorology, and aerology.

The sixth annual report of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development to the Board of Governors, covering the period July 1, 1950 to June 30, 1951, was transmitted by the President of the Bank (Black) to the Board on September 10, 1951. During the fiscal year reviewed in the report the Bank was faced with new and changing conditions in the world; while this was true of every other year since 1946, “at no time in the Bank's experience, however, have die economic conditions of the world changed so abruptly as in the year just ended.” These changes had two conflicting results: on die one hand, diey provided underdeveloped countries “opportunities for growth” and “created more favorable conditions for die Bank's lending operations”; on die odier hand, diey raised serious new problems.

A meeting of the Working Group on Numerical Weather Analysis and Forecasting of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) was held in Stockholm from March 2 to 6, 1959, for the purpose of reviewing the present status in the fields of numerical weather analysis and forecasting; outlining present research and likely developments in the future; and specifying problems arising from the utilization of numerical methods for weather analysis and forecasting. These last included training of personnel, communication facilities, and the international collaboration required for successful programs of work in weather analysis and forecasting. A one-group code, capable of extension as the need arose, was proposed for the transmission of essential data.

The thirteenth session of the Executive Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) was held in Geneva from May 11 to 30, 1961, under the chairmanship of Mr. A. Viaut, President of the organization. As usual two working committees were set up on: administrative and financial questions, and technical questions. Discussions in plenary were based mainly on the reports of these committees. Following the presentation of reports on the meetings of regional associations and commissions, the report of the working group set up to study the revision of the WMO convention was heard and discussed. General agreement was reached on the substance of amendments proposed for some articles, and a provisional text was submitted to a legal expert for study and report. With regard to the WMO general regulations, it was decided that modifications arising from the proposed amendments to the convention should be studied after the amendments had been approved. The Executive Committee considered reports on the WMO field programs under the UN Expanded Program of Technical Assistance (EPTA) for 1960 and for the period 1961–1962. The need was stressed for field visits, in particular to the newly independent countries, to help them in the assessment of their requirements for technical assistance. Plans for future training seminars under EPTA were discussed and the Committee recognized in particular, in view of the increasing interest in water resources development, the importance of holding training seminars on hydrological forecasting. The Executive Committee also took note of the training seminars—organized in Cairo, Bangkok, and Nicosia and carried out under joint International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)-WMO auspices—on forecasting for operations of turbine-engined aircraft.

The effectiveness of the educational process in a modern College largely depends on the level of scientific potential of teachers. Scientific potential is shown in the development of educational programs and methods of conducting classes. The scientific content of College education contributes to the formation of professional competencies of the future mid-level specialist in demand on the labor market. At the same time, it is equally important to conduct advanced training of personnel, taking into account the new technological structure that is emerging in our country and in the world. The continuity of the educational process in the profile school with the content of education in the College will contribute to the successful entry of former students into the system of secondary vocational education.

From September 9 to 27, 1952, the Executive Committee of the World Meteorological Organization met in its third session in Geneva. The lengthy agenda contained a higher proportion of technical matters than in previous sessions. The committee made suggestions for meeting the shortage of experts in the various specialized aspects of meteorology and invited the regional associations to consider possible application of the United Nations expanded program of technical assistance in their areas. Two of the largest items on the agenda were the reports on the first sessions of Regional Association VI (Europe) and the Commission for Maritime Meteorology. Both sessions had brought to light difficulties in interpreting the WMO general regulations, and the committee issued guidance for use until the points could be finally settled by the Congress. It was generally agreed that the Executive Committee should encourage the work of die regional associations and the technical commissions. After discussing the general procedure for dealing with urgent technical enquiries referred to WMO, a resolution directing the secretariat to take a more active part in such questions was adopted. It was decided that a working group should be established to investigate how WMO could contribute to the UNESCO arid zone program, and that the committee should proceed with the preparation of world maps and tables of thunderstorm frequency. In all, about 50 resolutions were adopted at this session of the committee.
