As a result, the chair of the subcommittee of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) requested a National Research Council study to assess the current status of the climate observing capabilities of the United States. This report focuses on existing observing systems for detection and attribution of climate change, with special emphasis on those systems with long time series.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)Climate observing systemsMeteorologyObservationsClimatic changesResearchUnited StatesMeteorologyClimatic changesResearch551.6/07/2073National Research Council (U.S.).Panel on Climate Observing Systems Status.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973753803321Adequacy of climate observing systems4360938UNINA
