GCOS (Global Climate Observing System)

The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is an international initiative that coordinates and ensures the collection of essential climate data. It involves monitoring key climate variables like temperature, rainfall, humidity, and atmospheric gases worldwide. This information helps scientists understand climate trends, track changes, and support policies to address climate issues. By providing reliable and comprehensive data, GCOS plays a vital role in advancing climate science and informing global efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
