international meteorological organization

Although there had been significant developments in meteorology in the 18th century, Matthew Fontaine Maury, of the US Navy, was instrumental in convening the first truly International Meteorological Conference in Brussels in August 1853. Maury's initiative was followed by an agreement at an International Meteorological Conference in Vienna in September 1873 that an International Meteorological Organization (IMO) should be formed. The members of that Organization were the directors of meteorological services. The IMO was succeeded by the World Meteorological Organisation in 1950.
