| Popis: |
This concluding chapter draws on the main aspects covered in this book, such as the discussions on the increasing reliance of the energy sector on meteorological information. We then describe current and potential funding models of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. These are the main, though not the only, providers of meteorological information for energy and all the other sectors affected by meteorological phenomena. It emerges that public sector funding for such Services are dwindling. This is in spite of the recognised impacts that meteorology has on the energy industry, and on other sectors. Some lessons from the important interaction between aviation and meteorology are discussed with a view to drawing some parallels with energy. We then discuss possible options for strengthening the relationship between energy and meteorology in order for society to be better prepared for the increasing vulnerability of the energy sector to the vagaries of weather and climate. |
