Preparation of a Canadian Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Plan
The project funded a Canadian effort to prepare a national Plan, that will eventually contribute to the international Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
"There are commitments related to climate monitoring in Article 10 of the Kyoto Protocol. The Canadian infrastructure for systematic climate monitoring has declined in recent years. Observing sites have been closed, particularly in northern regions and over the expanses of oceans off our shores. Canada's climate observing networks are also sparse by comparison with those of other nations at a similar stage of development. Unless plans are made now to address these deficiencies, Canada will be in danger of not being able to meet its Article 10 commitments. This project will fund a Canadian effort to prepare a national Plan, that will eventually contribute to the international Global Climate Observing System (GCOS)."
