Introduction The Annual Bulletin on the Climate in WMO Region VI (Europe and Middle East with 50 Members) provides an overview of climate characteristics and phenomena in Europe and the Middle East for the preceding year. It is mainly based on dedicated national reports from RA VI National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) as well as general climate monitoring information from their official Websites. Supported by the European Climate Support Network (ECSN) and WMO´s World Climate Data and Monitoring Programme (WCDMP) the Bulletin provides an excellent example of international collaboration across cultural and political borders since its first publication in 1994. The Bulletin is seen as a regional contribution to WMO’s climate system monitoring, complementing and detailing well-known regular global assessments, such as WMO’s Annual Statement on the Status of the Global Climate and the State of the Climate published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS). The evolution of the RA VI Regional Climate Centre Network (RCC Network) allowed adding a couple of RA VI-wide maps in order to provide a certain degree of consistency across the information and the national borders. Otherwise, basic methodologies for, and operations of, climate monitoring activities still differ among the various RA VI NMHSs. Maps and information compiled in this Bulletin are the result of a selection process. Websites of NMHSs as well as the Webpages of the RA VI RCC Network (http://www.rccra6.org) offer useful additional information and regularly produced maps etc. The Bulletin is intended to serve primarily NMHSs in the Region but it might also be interesting for public institutions, research institutes, universities and others. This annual bulletin includes 4 parts: the annual, seasonal and monthly survey of the climate state in 2016 as well as contributions of the NMHSs to the long-term variability of selected parameters up to 2016 (section 5). Notes: Maps of the RA VI RCC Network are based on the following data sources: Temperature: CLIMAT data and ship observations provided by the Global Collecting Centre (GCC), operated by the Deutscher Wetterdienst Precipitation: Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC), operated by the Deutscher Wetterdienst Sunshine: CLIMAT data. Anomaly maps of climate indices are provided by the RCC De Bilt Node on Climate Data Services (RCC Node-CD) via the European Climate Assessment & Dataset project (ECA&D) run by Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) Sub-regional monthly maps are provided by the Eastern Mediterranean Climate Centre (EMCC). Annual Bulletin on the Climate in WMO Region VI 2016 6 The following sub-regions are used in this Bulletin: Central and western Europe (14 countries): Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Luxemburg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, and United Kingdom Nordic and Baltic Countries (9 countries): Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden Iberia (2 countries): Portugal, and Spain Mediterranean, Italian and Balkan Peninsula (12 countries): Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey Eastern Europe (5 countries): Belarus, European Russia, Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine Middle East (9 countries): Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Western Kazakhstan

Solis May, 2018 iii ABSTRACT My dissertation examines media freedom’s measurement and then more specifically the institutional determinants of (1) government attacks against media and (2) journalist killings. Media's ability to freely gather and disseminate information remains a critical aspect of democracy. Studies link media freedom to other concepts ranging from human rights, corruption, the democratic peace and conflict, natural resource wealth, political knowledge, and foreign aid. However, media freedom's many dimensions make it difficult for any one index to reliably measure it. In the first part of my dissertation, I propose a new method for measuring media freedom. To develop a more robust measure, I treat media freedom as a latent variable and analyze 12 extant indicators using an Item Response Theory (IRT) model.
