English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

A climatological station set up to make meteorological observations in order to determine climatic trends.

OBS

This requires a long period (not less than 30 years) of homogeneous records at a site where man-made environmental changes have been and/or are expected to be minimal. Ideally, the period of records should be sufficiently long to allow secular changes of climate to be identified.

Key term(s)
  • REFCLIM

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations, instruments et équipements météorologiques
DEF

Station climatologique établie pour faire des observations météorologiques qui serviront à déterminer les tendances climatiques.

OBS

On a donc besoin de séries d'observations homogènes portant sur de longues périodes (au moins 30 ans) effectuées à des endroits où les modifications anthropiques du milieu ont été et seront minimales. Idéalement, la période de relevés devrait être assez longue pour permettre de déceler les changements séculaires du climat.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Estaciones, instrumentos y equipos meteorológicos
DEF

Estación climatológica instalada para efectuar observaciones meteorológicas con objeto de determinar las tendencias climáticas.

OBS

Ello requiere un largo período (no inferior a 30 años) de registros homogéneos en emplazamientos en donde las modificaciones artificiales del ambiente hayan sido y/o se espera que sean mínimas. El ideal es que el período de los registros sea suficientemente largo para identificar cambios seculares del clima.
