The GPCC (Global Precipitation Climatology Centre) is a central element of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) which was established by the WMO/ICSU [World Meteorological Organization/International Council of Scientific Unions] Joint Scientific Committee for the World Climate Research Programme [WCRP] at its Seventh Session (Lisbon, March 1986). The GPCC itself was established in August 1988 at the "Deutscher Wetterdienst" ("DWD", National Meteorological Service of Germany) starting with a research and development phase. The GPCC is now going to be operational, and it is operated by the DWD as a contribution to international climate observation and research activities. The GPCC has internationally defined functions. In the future, the GPCC will act as a GCOS [Global Climate Observing System] specified global data centre for precipitation, and in this role, it will continue to participate in the GPCP, as agreed by WCRP, GCOS, and DWD. It also co-operates with WCP-Water, Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC), UNEP-GRID Programme, and FAO Water-Department. 3, record 1, English, - Global%20Precipitation%20Climatology%20Centre
