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. 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 517 3 $aClimate observing systems 606 $aMeteorology$vObservations 606 $aClimatic changes$xResearch$zUnited States 615 0$aMeteorology 615 0$aClimatic changes$xResearch 676 $a551.6/07/2073 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Climate Observing Systems Status. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973753803321 996 $aAdequacy of climate observing systems$94360938 997 $aUNINA
