   Dear Colleagues,
   I would like  to inform that the WMO call for contribution to  the WMO Statement on the
   Status of the Global Climate in 2009 (WSSGC-2009)  is now open. On this occasion I would
   like to invite you again (  few of you are for the first time) to provide your valuable
   contribution to this publication. It is worthy to mention the special nature of this year's
   statement as it will be released during the COP15 time period (7-18 December, Copenhagen,
   Denmark)  hence making it a WMO important showcase for the event in addition to its usual
   scientific purpose. The collection of the input can start any time from now on with
   updating the content until few days before the press release which is scheduled in 14 or 15
   December 2009. The statement will be given at a press conference led by the Secretary
   General of the WMO. As usually the press release is embargoed for dissemination until the
   press conference is over. Date and Timing will be confirmed soon by our MEDIA office.

   On this occasion I am pleased to introduce  you again Mr. Jos Luis Stella  of the National
   Meteorological Service  of Argentina who and his institution kindly accepted to offer his
   services for the second time to collaborate with all of you in collecting  input and data
   needed for the statement.   I recall that the content of the statement consists of
   summarizing statistics  with short descriptive texts of the annual global temperature
   figures and ranking , regional temperatures anomalies as well as the observed major climate
   events which occurred during 2009, including droughts, heavy precipitations and flooding,
   wind storms, tropical cyclones as well as the induced impacts and damages. Therefore I
   would appreciate if you  could send the summaries  to the following email   address:
   [1]wcdmp@wmo.int with a copy to Mr Jos Stella's email addresses [2]jls@smn.gov.ar    and
   [3]jolust2006@yahoo.com.ar. For your information you can take a look at the previous
   statement in 2008 by browsing the following link:
