The Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites(CGMS) concerns itself with the coordination of operational topics. Membership is open to all operators of meteorological satellites, to prospective operators having a clear commitment to develop and operate such satellites, and to the WMO, because of its unique role as representative of the world meteorological data user community. The first meeting was held in September 1972, with representatives from the European Space Research Organization, Japan, the USA and observers from the World Meteorological Organization and the World Climate Research Programme(WCRP). 1, record 2, English, - Coordination%20Group%20for%20Meteorological%20Satellites

Le Groupe de Coordination des Satellites Météorologiques (CGMS) s'emploie à la coordination de programmes opérationnels. Tous les opérateurs de satellites météorologiques peuvent en faire partie, ainsi que de futurs opérateurs s'engageant clairement à développer et maintenir de tels satellites, et également l'OMM du fait de son rôle unique de représentant de la communauté météorologique mondiale. La première rencontre a eu lieu en septembre 1972, avec des représentants de l'Organisation Européenne pour la recherche spatiale, le Japon, les États-Unis et avec des observateurs de l'OMM et du Programme Mondial de Recherche sur le Climat (PMRC). 3, record 2, French, - Groupe%20de%20Coordination%20des%20Satellites%20M%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologiques

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 4, English, - Global%20Precipitation%20Climatology%20Centre
