... of the World Meteorological Organization(WMO). The purpose of the World Climate Data and Monitoring Programme(WCDMP) is to ensure that WMO Members have access to reliable climate data and products derived from existing observations of the global climate system that are in formats suitable for their use. The programme addresses specifically the data requirements for climate change detection, climate applications, monitoring and research, the assessment of impacts on climate, the validation of climate models and forecasts, and the development of strategies to mitigate potentially adverse effects of climate variations and change. 2, record 3, English, - World%20Climate%20Data%20and%20Monitoring%20Programme

The Global Climate Observing System was established in 1992 by four international organizations : the World Meteorological Organization(WMO), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC) of UNESCO, the United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP), and the International Council of Scientific Unions(ICSU). The objectives of the Global Climate Observing System(GCOS) are to insure the acquisition of data to meet the data for :climate system monitoring, climate change detection and response monitoring especially in terrestrial ecosystems, application of climate information to national economic development, research toward improved understanding, modelling, and prediction of the climate system. 2, record 4, English, - Global%20Climate%20Observing%20System
