Major processes of interaction between the atmosphere, oceans, ice and biota affect the entire global system through feedbacks, biogeochemical cycles, circulation patterns, transport of energy and pollutants, and changes in ice mass balance.

(d) Use of the global navigation satellite system (the Russian system GLONASS and the American Global Positioning System (GPS))

The World Climate Research Programme has specifically included research on climate and cryosphere, the main purpose of which is to provide a globally integrated approach to the study of the role of the cryosphere in the climate system.

The puck of ice hockey is not spherical.

(b) Greater participation and coordination for the Integrated Global Observing Strategy being pursued in the development of the global observing systems (the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).

These programmes include the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).

These programmes include the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and the Global Ocean Observation System (GOOS).

The rapporteur also liaises with the WMO Commission for Basic Systems Working Group on Satellites, GOSSP of the Global Observing Systems (GCOS, GOOS, GTOS) and with IOC.

(b) Development of a GPS overlay, a system that recovers the accuracy degradation of the GPS system by using GPS signals transmitted by a geostationary satellite

While the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) are regarded as candidates, consideration is also being given to a post GPS GLONASS system.

The United States strongly supports a global warning system, conducted under the aegis of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

The one glacier up in Greenland that puts more ice into the global ocean than all the other glaciers in the northern hemisphere combined is the Ilulissat Glacier.

GTOS is envisaged as one of a number of global observing systems which will be complementary to each other and mutually supportive.

In turn, WHYCOS would contribute data to the World Weather Watch system, GCOS and GTOS.

As the operational availability of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) is limited, consideration is being given to a post GPS GLONASS system.

In turn, WHYCOS should contribute data to the World Weather Watch system, GCOS and GTOS.

In 1996, the Space Observation Panel was asked to broaden its focus by including GTOS and GOOS space requirements and has been renamed as Global Observing Systems Space Panel.

It's actually an ice moon.

Inter agency efforts could be further strengthened to emphasize the important role of space based observing systems as a part of the jointly sponsored global observing systems (GCOS, GTOS, GOOS), with the participation of space agencies through the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites

China has a developed terrestrial observation system consisting of a network that collects data on hydrological systems, ice and snow, ecological systems, agrometeorology and environmental protection.
