Nations. It is the UN system's authoritative voice on the state and
behaviour of the Earth's atmosphere, its interaction with the oceans,
the climate it produces and the resulting distribution of water
resources.
Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). GCOS addresses the total climate system including physical, chemical and
biological properties, and
atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, hydrologic, and cryospheric
components.
