En dépit d'accords nationaux d'exploitation, leur fonctionnement laisse cependant à désirer. Ainsi, plus de 35% des stations du GUAN n'ont pas fourni les observations requises au cours du dernier trimestre 1997.  2, record 5, French, - R%C3%A9seau%20de%20stations%20d%27observation%20en%20altitude

Remote Automatic Weather Stations measure a number of atmospheric elements including temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation. The information for these elements are recorded hourly and collected at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise. The Western Regional Climate Center receives these data near real-time and continuously updates a historical archive. RAWS sites are primarily owned and maintained by both federal and state land management agencies. Approximately 800 sites are now operational mostly in the western U. S.  4, record 6, English, - remote%20automatic%20weather%20station

Probabilities or probabilistic forecasts [are] an attempt to convey the uncertainty in a forecast by expressing its likelihood of occurrence as a probability, or percentage. High probabilities do not guarantee an outcome-they merely indicate that that outcome is highly likely. Probabilities are usually based on the frequency of occurrence in the historical record. For instance, if the chance of receiving above-median rainfall in a particular climate scenario is 60%, then 60% of past years when that scenario occurred had above median rainfall, and 40% had below-median rainfall.  6, record 7, English, - probability%20forecast

The goal of GODAR was to increase the volume of historical oceanographic data available to climate change and other researchers by locating ocean profile and plankton data sets not yet in digital form, digitizing these data, and ensuring their submission to national data centers and the World Data Center System. In addition, data on electronic media that are at risk of loss due to media degradation are also candidates for rescue.  1, record 8, English, - Global%20Oceanographic%20Data%20Archaeology%20and%20Rescue%20Project

A vast amount of sea ice information is today available at the various ice services in the world. Almost all of this information is stored in the form of ice charts for operational purposes. For statistical or climatological use the chart format is however not convenient and the information needs to be digitized. This is done by assigning numerical values to the ice parameters and to read these values at given grid points on the chart. The charts prepared by the various ice services do not all contain the same number of parameters. The resolution and accuracy also vary according to the use for which the charts are intended. A large degree of flexibility has therefore to be built into the design of both code, format and grid. It should allow digitization of historical ice charts as well as current ones in order to obtain a comprehensive computer-compatible sea ice data bank which is currently updated. The SIGRID format is mainly designed to meet larger scale climate requirements but it may also be used by national services for other purposes.  1, record 10, English, - Format%20for%20Gridded%20Sea%20Ice%20Information
