Summary: Symposium was held at the Nippon Toshi Center in Tokyo from 7 to 13 November 1960, under the auspices of the Meteorological Society of Japan in cooperation with the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, the Japan Meteorological Agency and the Science Council of Japan, with a view to promoting the future development of numerical weather prediction through presentation of papers and exchange of scientific knowledges. The Symposium was intended to devote exclusively to numerical weather prediction and closely related problems, and invitations had been issued to the experts and those who have great interests in them. The total number of 154 participants and presentation of 55 papers relating to numerical weather analysis and forecasting, and dynamic meteorology give an impression of the size and importance of the Symposium, which was quite a success. The participants from eleven countries were welcomed at the opening ceremonies by Prof. S. Syono, President of the Society and Dr. K. Wadati, Director-General of the Japan Meteorological Agency and Chairman of the Science Council of Japan, both of whom referred to the importance of exchange of scientific informations and cooperation among scientists concerned. Mr. D.A. Davies who was attending the Symposium addressed the opening on behalf of the WMO. Stressing the importance of numerical weather analysis and prediction to the development of weather forecasting services, he wished the Symposium every success.
