THE GLOBAL CLIMATE OBSERVING SYSTEM
(GCOS)and
THE GLOBAL TERRESTRIAL OBSERVING
SYSTEM(GTOS)
THE GOAL OF GCOS
The goal of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is to provide
comprehensive information on the total climateclimate system, involving a multidisciplinary range of physical, chemical and biological properties and atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, cryospheric and terrestrial processes (Annex A to 1992 and 1998 WMO-IOC-UNEP-ICSU MOU)
