The weather has a truly global context and the exchange of information and ideas is key to taking the science into the future. The Met Office plays a key role on the international stage, representing the UK in many global organisations. International services
The Met Office has international responsibilities for the provision of services. We are a Regional Specialised Met. Centre (RSMC) for Emergency Response and a World Area Forecast Centre for aviation. 
As a national meteorological service (NMS) the Met Office relies heavily on international co-operation. It plays a major role within the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and other intergovernmental organisations. 
The Met Office is committed to helping other countries improve their ability to cope with weather- and climate-related natural disasters and plays an active part in the WMO Voluntary Co-operation Programme (VCP), helping capacity building in other countries. 
Research and development play a vital role in all areas of meteorology and we are actively involved in numerous international collaborative projects, e.g. GEO and THORPEX. |
