Sauvetage, archivage et conservation des données météorologiques
Les dépôts de données et les centres d’archivage sont des sources essentielles de données d’observation utilisées pour l’étude du temps et du climat. Après avoir été compilées sur papier pendant plus de deux siècles, les données d’observation sont depuis 20 ans recueillies surtout sous forme électronique. Les dépôts de données répartis dans le monde entier contiennent aujourd’hui un mélange de données stockées sur des supports physiques – par exemple, papier et microfi lms – et sur des supports numériques comme les disquettes informatiques, les bandes magnétiques et les DVD. Peu importe le sup ...

Peu importe le support utilisé, il existe un risque de perte des données. Les dépôts doivent reconnaître, évaluer, acquérir, archiver et transférer les données sur des supports plus avancés afi n de les mettre à la disposition des chercheurs. Ces activités de conservation et de conversion aux formats électroniques communs sont essentielles pour la préservation des relevés climatologiques mondiaux et l’amélioration de leur qualité.

Data Compendium - Summary Documentation of SAR Satellite Data Collections, Plans and Activities
During the past two decades, the collection and utilization of large amounts of satellite radar imagery over vast polar regions has become an outstanding example of international cooperation among space agencies and the polar science community. Building on the successful cooperation and coordination during the International Polar Year (2007/08), the Polar Space Task Group (PSTG) has recently re-enacted the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Coordination Working Group (CWG). The Group provides coordination among space agencies operating SAR satellites to facilitate collection of fundamental SAR dat ...

Rescue, Archive and Stewardship of Weather Records and Data
Data repositories and archives play a critical role as the source for the observational data used in the study of weather and climate. After over two centuries of recording observations on paper, observations in the last 20 years have mostly been collected digitally. Repositories around the world now have a mix of data on physical media, such as paper and microfilm, and digital media such as computer disks, magnetic tapes and DVDs. There is risk of data loss regardless of storage media. Repositories must identify, appraise, acquire, archive and migrate data to new technologies to make it avail ...

There is risk of data loss regardless of storage media. Repositories must identify, appraise, acquire, archive and migrate data to new technologies to make it available for research. These acts of stewardship and conversion to common electronic formats are vital to preserving and enhancing the global climate record.

WCDMP, 77. Guidelines for the submission of the World Weather Records tenth series (2001-2010)
The World Weather Records (WWR) database contains historical monthly climatic data from land surface stations worldwide. First released in 1927, the WWR database has been widely employed in operational climate monitoring, international climate assessments, and numerous other applications. To date, there have been nine editions of WWR, the first containing data up through 1920, with each successive release containing data for another decade (i.e., 1921-1930, 1931- 1940, 1941-1950, 1951-1960, 1961-1970, 1971-1980, 1981-1990, 1991- 2000).

Since its inception, WWR has been produced by three different institutions: the Smithsonian Institution (1927, 1934, 1947); the U.S. Weather Bureau (1959, 1967); and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA; 1983, 1991, 2005). The current edition will also be produced by NOAA. It addresses the 2001-2010 period, consistent with WMO Secretariat guidance. However, the previous edition lacked data for many countries, posing an impediment to climate monitoring and assessment activities because of the decline in station coverage starting in 1991. Congress XVI, Geneva 2011, emphasized the importance of updating the World Weather Records continuously. It requested Members to complete the data sets for WWR 1991-2000 and submit WWR for 2001- 2010.
