(b) Improving access to high quality data and information on current and future climate variability and extreme events

Parties also mentioned the lack of data on and understanding of the interactions between health conditions and climate.

Many Parties noted that data observed and collected for some climate variables are adequate for making a general predication of weather trends.

There is much data on some variables such as climate and water but none or nearly none on other variables such as rehabilitation.

In the area of hydrology, ARS scientists, in close cooperation with NASA and the Department of Commerce (DoC), used ground based and remotely sensed data to aid in understanding how conditions in river basins influence climate and climate change.

While the Plan outlines the actions needed to make the Global Climate Observing System fully operational and efficient, it also highlights the importance of climate related data to be provided by the Global Terrestrial Observing System and the Global Ocean Observing System.

Other Parties reported the lack of an integrated coordinated and standard approach in the present arrangements for collection, storing, quality control and dispersion of climate observation data.

Rob Dunbar hunts for data on our climate from 12,000 years ago, finding clues inside ancient seabeds and corals and inside ice sheets. His work is vital in setting baselines for fixing our current climate and in tracking the rise of deadly ocean acidification.

The Changing Climate On Climate Change

In the years to come DIVERSITAS, another international global change research programme, dealing with biodiversity, will provide data and enhanced knowledge on the links between climate change and biological diversity.

Science columnist Lee Hotz describes a remarkable project at WAIS Divide, Antarctica, where a hardy team are drilling into ten thousand year old ice to extract vital data on our changing climate.

The data is fundamental to our understanding of contemporary processes of global relevance such as ozone depletion, atmospheric pollution, climate change, the melting of ice shelves and glaciers and sea level rise.

Therefore much of the information presented on climate change impacts on human health was based on qualitative assessments, although a few Parties used statistical correlation to infer the relationship between climate characteristics, population data and incidence of diseases such as heat stress, cramps, dehydration, rashes, vascular and renal disorders, viral conjunctivitis and influenza.

Observation posts in nine countries, each of them equipped with an Inmarsat A portable satellite communication system, report regularly on climate and soil conditions in real time, complementing GIS and remote sensing data.

The need for strengthening observing systems for climate data was one reason for the recent establishment of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems the advent of which represents an important step forward.

experiencing stresses from current climate and climate related events and phenomena that could be exacerbated by future climate change.

You say, This photograph, it's about it depicts this person. Bing! That's data. Data, data, data.

Set aside the politics Data shows that climate change is happening, measurably, now. And as Vicki Arroyo says, it's time to prepare our homes and cities for the new climate, with its increased risk of flooding, drought and uncertainty. She illustrates this inspiring talk with bold projects from cities all over the world local examples of thinking ahead.

We could talk about government data, enterprise data is really important, there's scientific data, there's personal data, there's weather data, there's data about events, there's data about talks, and there's news and there's all kinds of stuff.

For us at Cambridge, it's as varied as the El Niño oscillation, which affects weather and climate, to the assimilation of satellite data, to emissions from crops that produce biofuels, which is what I happen to study.

And then, as these animals swim and give us the information that's important to climate issues, we also think it's critical to get this information to the public, to engage the public with this kind of data.

But how justified are these attacks, particularly the attacks on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations body that has set the gold standard for analyzing global climate change? One tell tale sign is the climate skeptics contempt for the actual data in the Indian government s study, which is being used to undermine the IPCC report and the impeccable credentials of the scientist Syed Iqbal Hasnain, the source of the IPCC s alarming quote on the Himalayas.

Climate change deniers argue that the Sun is the main cause of climate change.

And then, of course, there's climate change, and we all know about climate change.

It provides the scientific community with the data and information necessary to evaluate the variability of the global environment, distinguish between natural and human induced change, and perform integrated assessments of changes in climate and their societal impacts.
