Abstract: Executive Committee The eighth session of the Executive Committee of the World Meteorological Organi zation (WMO) was held in Geneva from April 17 to 30, 1956 under the presidency of Mr. A. Viaut. Extensive discussion based on a report of a working group was held about plans for the International Geophysical Year 1957–1958, and several resolutions were passed asking all countries to participate, establishing a meteorological data center to ensure exchange of information, and setting up a method of financing. The Executive Committee also established a panel of experts to study meteorological as pects of atomic energy and discontinued its inquiry into the effect of atomic experimentation on the weather after agreeing that on the basis of the material submitted by the Secretary-General, there was no large-scale effect on weather from nuclear explosions. Material relating to a world climatic atlas was referred back to a working group which was asked to revise it for consideration at the second session of the Commission for Climatology scheduled for January 1957, and directives were laid down for consideration of the panel of experts on water resource development.
