Page 12 - ... acknowledged, the recommendations put forth through the experts meeting cannot be easily viewed in terms of priorities, but rather should be used in an opportunistic sense. All the recommendations are important. Despite these words there are two general concepts that stand out among all others. First, adequate long-term climate monitoring will continue to be critically dependent on developing a partnership among network operators, data managers, analysts, and modelers. Multi-purpose observing...
Page 16 - NGDC announces the availability of a new collection of digital elevation data on CD-ROM. The collection, called Terrainbase, includes improved 5-minute digital terrain data of land and ocean values for the entire world. Also included on the CD-ROM are 26 regional grids that provide land elevation and ocean depth values for various areas throughout the world.

However, our present observing system and data management practices have failed to deliver the quality of data required to deduce unequivocal information about the rates and often even the sign of multi-decadal changes and variations. Answers to specific questions such as: Is the climate warming? Is the hydrologic cycle changing? Is the atmospheric/oceanic circulation changing? Is the climate becoming more variable or extreme? Is radiative forcing of the climate changing?...
