Geneva, September 21 (QNA) - The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said it will hold a joint global seminar with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) from Sep. 28 to 30 at ITU headquarters in Geneva on the use of radio spectrum for weather, climate, water and related environmental activities.

The seminar will bring together the meteorological and radiocommunication communities to review current and emerging spectrum requirements for weather, climate, water and related environmental applications.

Participants are expected to discuss preparations for the 2027 (WRC-27) and 2031 (WRC-31) World Radiocommunication Conferences, along with related regulatory, technical and operational challenges, including emerging trends such as commercial data provision and cloud-based data processing.
