Global Atmospheric Watch

Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) is a worldwide network of scientific programs that monitor the Earth's atmosphere. Its goal is to track key atmospheric components like greenhouse gases, air pollutants, and ozone-depleting substances. By collecting and analyzing this data, GAW helps scientists understand air quality, climate change, and environmental health. The information supports policy decisions, international agreements, and efforts to protect our planet’s atmosphere. Essentially, GAW provides essential, accurate data to better understand and address atmospheric changes impacting global climate and public health.
