Nitrous oxide, at 318.6 ppb, has been steadily rising by about 0.8 ppb per year since 1988. Around one third of N2O discharged into the air is a result of human activities such as fuel combustion, biomass burning, fertilizer use and some industrial processes.
The rates supersede those of pre-industrial times by 35 per cent for CO2, 155 per cent for CH4 and 18 per cent for N2O, and increased over the previous decade by 19 ppm, 37 ppb and 8 ppb respectively in absolute amounts.
World Meteorological Congress, the supreme body of the Organization, brings together the delegates of Members once every four years to determine general policies for the fulfilment of the purposes of the Organization, to approve long-term plans, to authorize maxi-mum expenditures for the following financial period, to adopt Technical Regulations relating to international meteorological and operational hydrological practice, to elect the President and Vice-Presidents of the Organization and members of the Executive Council and to appoint the Secretary-General.
