GCOS Switzerland• Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)
• Since 1 February 2006: Swiss GCOS Office at Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss(UNFCCC Art. 4 and 5, Kyoto Protocol Art. 10d)
• Swiss GCOS Office = National GCOS Coordination UNFCCC National Communications (‘Systematic Observation’)
• Annual National GCOS Round Table: about 20 Partners with climate-relevant measurements from Federal Offices, Research Institutions and Universities
Ensure the continuation of important long-term measurement series and international data centers as well as foster new measurement techniques and data series
