GCOS builds upon, and works in partnership with, other existing and developing observing systems such as the Global Ocean Observing System, the Global Terrestrial Observing System, and the Global Observing System and Global Atmospheric Watch of the World Meteorological Organization. GCOS was established in 1992 to ensure that the observations and information needed to address climate-related issues are obtained and made available to all potential users. It is co-sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Council for Science (ICSU). GCOS is intended to be a long-term, user-driven operational system capable of providing the comprehensive observations required for monitoring the climate system, for detecting and attributing climate change, for assessing the impacts of climate variability and change, and for supporting research toward improved understanding, modeling and prediction of the climate system. It addresses the total climate system including physical, chemical and biological properties, and atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, cryospheric and terrestrial processes. Parameters included in the GCOS are mean daily temperature, daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, mean daily station pressure, mean daily station pressure corrected to sea level, total daily daily precipitation, mean monthly temperature, mean monthly maximum temperature, mean monthly minimum temperature, mean monthly station pressure, mean monthly station pressure corrected to sea level, and total monthly precipitation. Station history data is also included in the GCOS. Parameters associated with station history metadata are station identification, station name, member name, dates when changes occurred (year-month-day), latitude, longitude, elevation, observation schedule and procedures, types of instruments used for observations, height of instruments above ground, methods used to calculate mean, or average, environment within 10 meters of the instruments, and land use in 10 square kilometers around the station. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00614 National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce http://gosic.org/ios/GCOS_main_page.htm http://gosic.org/gcos/GSN-data-access.htm http://gosic.org/gcos/GSN-data-access.htm Unknown Present Ground Condition Complete As Needed -180.00 180.00 90.00 -90.00 ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 004 elevation 006 health 009 imageryBaseMapsEarthCover 010 inlandWaters 012 oceans 014 GCMD Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ALTITUDE > STATION HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > AIR QUALITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > AIR QUALITY > VISIBILITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY/OXYGEN COMPOUNDS > OZONE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > ANTICYCLONES/CYCLONES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > PRESSURE TENDENCY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > PRESSURE THICKNESS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SEA LEVEL PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SURFACE PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > DEGREE DAYS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > DEW POINT TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > DEW POINT TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > HUMIDITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION EARTH SCIENCE > CLIMATE INDICATORS > DROUGHT INDICES EARTH SCIENCE > CLIMATE INDICATORS > FIRE WEATHER INDICES EARTH SCIENCE > CLIMATE INDICATORS > TELECONNECTIONS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SEA ICE EARTH SCIENCE > CRYOSPHERE > SNOW/ICE EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > HUMAN HEALTH EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > NATURAL HAZARDS EARTH SCIENCE > HYDROSPHERE > GLACIERS/ICE SHEETS EARTH SCIENCE > HYDROSPHERE > SNOW/ICE EARTH SCIENCE > HYDROSPHERE > SURFACE WATER EARTH SCIENCE > HYDROSPHERE > WATER QUALITY/WATER CHEMISTRY > WATER TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > EROSION/SEDIMENTATION > LANDSLIDES EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > TOPOGRAPHY EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > COASTAL PROCESSES EARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING > RADAR EARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING > INFRARED WAVELENGTHS EARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING > VISIBLE WAVELENGTHS GCMD Location Keywords GLOBAL GCMD Location Keywords LAND SURFACE SEA SURFACE 1 None None National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Customer Services Branch Mailing and physical
