A few years ago I made an experimental generator tool of WIS Discovery Metadata, called "jmd". It is found at http://www.gisc.kishou.go.jp/xsd/jmd0.1/.
During the work of writing guideline for WCMP 1.3, I need to create many metadata records as example. It was painful to write raw XML and correct it by modify-validate-fix cycle, so I remembered the "jmd" tool. So I've updated the tool to generate modern style of ISO19139 according to the new WMO profile.

default CRS for meteorological data
There is an argument (again) that all coordinates in CF should have CRS specification.

Asperatus and WMO International Cloud Atlas
Around 2011 and 2012, there appeared a movement to create a new cloud classification called Undulatus Asperatus and work with WMO to give it official recognition.

It was pretty impressive that the Royal Met Soc was supporting the idea:

Recently I learned that CIMO (Commission for Instrument and Methods of Observation) took responsibility of revising the International Cloud Atlas (ICA), and established a task team. The team had a meeting in 2013 and the report is available:
http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/
Their recommendation is that the Asperatus cloud would be added not as a new Genera to existing ten (such as Cumulus or Altostratus), but as a new supplementary feature.
That should be a feasible compromise, since it has little impact of realtime synoptic meteorology, while skywatchers will have autholized terminology to describe the cloud with distinct appearance.
Recent document submitted to coming CIMO session says the task team is expected to finalize the revision of ICA by the end of 2015, and then it has to be authorized by some upper bodies, at least by the Executive Council of WMO which was held June every year. So the new ICA will be available in the latter half of 2016, if everything goes perfectly.

ICSU WDS "replaced" WDCs
I had a question "is it still good to say ICSU WDC?"
I guess not. The decision 16.2 of the 29th General Assembly of ICSU says
WDS was established to *replace* WDCs.
