This Dutch-language volume explains the organization of meteorological reporting and communication after the postwar revision of international meteorological codes. It covers observations, forecasts, analyses, coded weather reports, land-station and ship reports, aircraft weather reports, aerological reports, aviation forecasts, weather-map analyses, special reports, abbreviations, symbols, cloud and hydrometeor descriptions, and the meteorological support system for aviation. The work reflects the major changes introduced after the International Meteorological Organization conference in Washington and the implementation of new codes from 1 January 1949. Its practical focus is on how meteorological information is observed, encoded, transmitted, decoded, plotted, analyzed, and supplied to users, especially aviation services. The book is significant for studying the institutional and technical organization of weather communication in Europe before the modern World Meteorological Organization framework became fully established.
