Abstract
The first GURME (GAW Urban Research Meteorology and Environment project) workshop was held 1-4 November 1999 in Beijing, China. The objectives of the workshop were to identify relevant activities for the implementation of GURME aimed at improving the NMHSs ability to manage urban meteorology and air quality. The WMO GURME was developed in response to the recognition that NMHSs have a critical role to play in the study and management of urban environments, in part because the NMHSs are in possession of information and capabilities that are essential to the forecasting of urban air pollution and the evaluation of the effects of different emission control strategies, and that for many this role will be expanded in the future. While the expanded roles of the NMHSs will follow different paths, they will be centered on the traditional activities related to meteorological monitoring, forecasting, and modelling (both meteorological and chemical) and their application to air quality problems. WMO established GURME as a means to help enhance the capabilities of NMHSs to handle the meteorological and related aspects of urban pollution, and is designed to do this through co-ordination and focus of present activities, and selected new endeavors.
