2009 - fifth warmest recorded year: WMO

Noting that the decade 2000-2009 was warmest ever recorded, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) has said that 2009 was the fifth-warmest year since climate records began in 1850.

In a report on its 60th anniversary, the UN weather agency said the nineties were warmer than the eighties.The report showed that the decade 2000-2009 was warmest ever recorded.

Observing weather from space

On 1 April 1960, the world's first weather satellite, the Television Infrared Observation Satellite 1 (TIROS 1), was launched from
Cape Canaveral, Florida, into a 99-min orbit at an altitude of about
725 km. The cylindrical (1.1-m diameter, 0.48-m tall), 120-kg
spacecraft was spin-stabilized, rotating between 8 and 12 times per
min.
