Global Climate Observing System The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is intended to be a long-term, user-driven operational system capable of providing the comprehensive observations required for monitoring the climate syst

GCOS is vital for: detecting and attributing climate change; assessing the impacts of climate variability and change; supporting research toward improved understanding, modelling and prediction of the climate system. It addresses the total climate system including physical, chemical and biological

The UK climate is monitored by analysing surface observations and placing recent extreme weather events in their historical context.

The National Climate Information Centre (NCIC) generates climate information and statistics using UK surface observations. Techniques are developed to generate long data series for the UK and its regions and to present data, e.g. as maps. Many of the outputs are made available on our UK climate
