Coordinated by the Committee for GCOS China
• National Committee for Developing and Planning (NCDP)• Ministry of Science and technology (MOST)• Ministry of Education (MOE)• Ministry of Agriculture (MOA)• Ministry of Water Resources (MWR)• Ministry of Finance (MOF)• Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)• China Meteorological Administration (CMA)• State Oceanic Administration (SOA)• China Environmental Protection Administration (CEPA)• China Forestry Administration (CFA)• China Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC)• Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)
To utilize and integrate the existing observing systems in China, improving the observations of the multi-sphere in the climate system and their interactions.
To cooperate among multi-department, building a climate observing system according to the same standard, instrument, precision, observing time, etc.
To built a platform for data exchange and share of data.
To choose regions of different underlying surface, monitoring the interaction among multi-sphere and satisfying the development of climate model.
