Le réseau d'observations synoptiques. La finalité principale de ce réseau est de décrire le plus précisément possible l'état de l'atmosphère, en un instant donné, à la fois en surface (observations réalisées immédiatement au-dessus du sol) et en altitude (radiosondages), d'où la dénomination d'observations synoptiques. En effet, il s'agit non seulement de décrire le temps à cet instant, mais également d'«initialiser» les modèles de prévision numérique qui visent à simuler, à partir d'un état initial connu, l'évolution dynamique de l'atmosphère. Aussi toutes les stations d'observations synoptiques sont-elles tenues de respecter un horaire commun pour les mesures de surface effectuées toutes les trois heures. Ce réseau doit également, pour remplir correctement les missions qui lui sont dévolues, couvrir l'ensemble de la surface terrestre. [...] Toutes les informations collectées sont [...] codées pour être immédiatement diffusées et échangées internationalement par l'intermédiaire du système mondial de télécommunications. Certaines zones du globe sont malheureusement mal couvertes, notamment les zones désertiques et océaniques.  3, record 12, French, - r%C3%A9seau%20d%27observation%20synoptique

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 15, English, - Biospheric%20Aspects%20of%20the%20Hydrological%20Cycle

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.
