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

New tool shows what climate change might look like in your area

climate projections really puts future extremes into context. We’ve seen a raft of record-breaking weather over the past few years, and when you put that side by side with the projections it really brings to life what the weather could look like if we don’t significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The Human dynamics of climate change poster studies the impacts of climate change in the context of present-day human dynamics

The impacts of climate change will not be experienced in isolation, but will affect humans in the context of the way we live. The 'Human dynamics of climate change' poster aims to illustrate some of the impacts of climate and population change in the context of a globalised world. You can download

Midlands: climate The Midlands area includes the Cotswold Hills to the south, the Northamptonshire uplands to the east, the Peak District to the north and is bounded by the Welsh border to the west. It includes the Severn and Avon valleys, with their rivers flowing to the south, and the valley

Global observations of surface and upper air temperature and humidity, surface pressure and precipitation are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.

Temperature, precipitation and humidity and their extremes can have a major impact on our lives. Observational datasets are used to monitor land and atmospheric climate variables, to understand how the climate has changed over time and to examine the occurrence of extremes in temperature and heat

Arctic sea ice is a sensitive indicator of climate change and changes to the sea ice cover can have potential implications for the Arctic region and beyond.
