The Global Climate 2001–2010: A Decade of Climate Extremes

WMO report No. 1103

The Global Climate 2001–2010 is a new WMO publication summarizing the state of the climate for the decade 2001–2010 and its assessment in the historical context. Climate assessment on the decadal timescale offers the necessary data and information to enable robust understanding of the varying and changing climate and places climate monitoring in an extended historical time frame, such as is not possible with the annual climate monitoring. It complements the annual WMO statements on the status of the global climate and the more comprehensive annual report State of the Climate. Among temperature, precipitation, sea level or cryosphere, it focuses on extreme events all over the world.
