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 7, English, - Coordination%20Group%20for%20Meteorological%20Satellites

Core project of International Geosphere-Biosphere Program. BAHC is an interdisciplinary project combining and integrating expertise from many disciplines, in particular eco-physiology, pedology, hydrology, and meteorology. BAHC in this respect has a transfer function : on the one hand developing techniques and algorithms to provide climatic data needed for hydroecological research, thereby translating the results of the World Climate Research Programme(WCRP) into the scales relevant for studies of changes of the conditions at the land surface, and on the other hand, providing soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer at larger scales, in particular, the areal pattern of heat and moisture fluxes according to land-surface heterogeneity. BAHC concentrates on investigations at scales where detailed studies of hydroecological processes are feasible in selected areas representing major ecosystems of the world and across boundaries between different ecosystems(ecotones, biome boundaries, etc.). 2, record 8, English, - Biospheric%20Aspects%20of%20the%20Hydrological%20Cycle

... of the World Meteorological Organization. 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 11, English, - Global%20Climate%20Observing%20System

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

The Global Sea Level Observing System(GLOSS) is an international programme coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC) for the establishment of high quality global and regional sea level networks for application to climate, oceanographic and coastal sea level research. The programme became known as GLOSS as it provides data for deriving the ’Global Core Network’(GCN) of 287 sea level stations around the world for long term climate change and oceanographic sea level monitoring. 4, record 13, English, - Global%20Sea%20Level%20Observing%20System
