"Climate observations" refers to the process of gathering information and data about the weather patterns, temperature, precipitation, and other environmental conditions in a particular area or region over an extended period of time. It helps scientists and researchers understand and study climate change, predict weather patterns, and assess the overall state of the Earth's climate system.

It is a place to share best practices, gaps, and recommendations and discover the state of the art
of climate observations, modelling and services.
Yet they can not deny that nine of the ten warmest years since
systematic climate observations began have occurred in the new millennium and that global warming has slowed at a very high level.
Regular and reliable
climate observations with measurement and calculation of principal climatic indices were started only about 150 years ago, when organized and consistent global ocean and atmosphere observation systems were initiated.
More information on the manual and automatic practices and processes used by the Bureau to obtain these surface air temperature data is available from Australian
Climate Observations Reference Network — Surface Air Temperature (ACORN - SAT) Observation practices.
Nevertheless, a paper recently published in Science, Recent
Climate Observations Compared to Projections (Rahmstoorf 2007), gives it a shot, comparing 2001 IPCC projections to observations up to 2007.
Through ongoing replenishment of the fund, the capability to address all types of funding requirements for
global climate observations in developing countries, including system improvement, sustained operations, and capacity building;
Among the hundreds of thousands of
climate observations recorded in the Bureau of Meteorology's database each day, it is unavoidable that some records will not necessarily be correct.
The efficiency of this process is ensured because the EUPORIAS project is closely linked to SPECS and also participates actively in the European initiative
European Climate Observations Modelling and Services (ECOMS) under work package WP1.3.
This time series started as a German project in 2000 and is now maintained by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (USA), with funding from the
NOAA Climate Observations Division.
The website includes a database with information
on climate observations and multi-model projections for 52 developing countries.
Usually a climate scenario requires combining the climate change scenario with a description of the current climate as represented
by climate observations (Figure 13.1 b).
Still looking for the radial button which redirects funding from pseudo scientific hacks in western Australia = > to fund
better climate observations and data access.
But issues related to flat or declining funding are jeopardizing the country's leadership and creating challenges in maintaining long - term ocean -
related climate observations, the report says.
To address these issues, we applied a semi-empirical approach that
combines climate observations and model simulations to estimate Atlantic - and Pacific - based internal multidecadal variability (termed «AMO» and «PMO,» respectively).
Contribute to a socially networked weather Almanac for communities to collectively
journal climate observations, questions and decisions against near - real time climate information
PNNL scientists found that pushing a climate model in the direction of observations reveals model sensitivities in precipitation and how clouds change the climate
The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's Requirements and Standards for
NWS Climate Observations states that: «The observer will round the entered data to whole units Fahrenheit».
UPDATE: I finished writing this post and published it at my
blog Climate Observations about the same time that Don Easterbrook's post Cause of «the pause» in global warming was published at WattsUpWithThat.
In Peru and the Andean region, the importance of user - tailored climate services is recognized, but this requires better
quality climate observations and more expert meteorologists and climatologists.
ECMWF as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is building a Climate Data Store (CDS) that will provide open and free access to quality -
assured climate observations, global and regional Essential Climate Variable (ECV) products derived from observations, global and regional climate reanalyses, seasonal forecast data and model - generated future climate change scenarios.
Hey, remember when I railed at the members of the House Science Committee about wanting to cut funding from NASA's
climate observation missions?
Climate observations prior to 1910 were limited across the Australian continent, being concentrated mostly around settlements and in eastern Australia.
