The principal aims of the GUAN (Global Upper Air Network) project are to ensure a relatively homogenous distribution of upper air stations that meet specific record length and homogeneity requirements outlined by GCOS (Global Climate Observing System) and to develop, and make available, their current and historical data.

OBS

Le Réseau de stations d'observation en altitude (GUAN) pour le (Système mondial d'observation du climat) SMOC, qui comprend environ 160 stations, et le réseau de stations d'observation en surface pour le SMOC (GSN) Global Surface Network), qui en comprend un millier, ont été conçus pour servir d'assise un réseau climatique mondial de qualité. 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.
