Relation between the section of meteorology of the International Geodetic and Geophysical Union and the International Meteorological Committee

This statement represents my personal views on this question, without any attempt to coordinate them with others or to ascertain the consensus of opinion concerning which differences of view are sure to prevail.To understand the question it is necessary to understand the nature of the two organizations. It is assumed quite unnecessary to discuss the nature or organization of the International Geodetic and Geophysical Union, with its sections, especially that of Meteorology. On the other hand, the International Meteorological Organization is not so well known, except among meteorologists, even though it has been in more or less complete existence for more than 50 years. Moreover, its activities have been marked by an unusual degree of harmony and cooperation in the field of meteorology. Therefore, it commands our reverence and respect.
