GCOS. Progress Report on the Implementation of the Global Observing System for Climate in support of the UNFCCC 2004-2008: executive summary
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC); et al. - WMO, 2009This document is a report on progress on a wide-ranging set of Actions aimed at strengthening the component systems and national activities that comprise the GCOS system of systems. The aim of the GCOS is to provide, through existing operational and research observing, data management, and information distribution systems (and further enhancements to these systems), a comprehensive and coordinated system of climate-relevant observing systems that meets the total national and international needs for climate observations.

GCOS, 128. Guideline for the Generation of Satellite-based Datasets and Products meeting GCOS Requirements
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); International Council for Science (ICSU); et al. - WMO, 2009 (WMO/TD-No. 1488)This document provides a short summary of GCOS requirements for satellite-based climate monitoring that can serve as a guideline for the generation of satellite-based datasets and derived products in order to meet the requirements for climate monitoring and the long-term aspects of climate research.
These guidelines are intended to help space agencies and other relevant institutions in the way they process and analyze datasets obtained from satellite instruments, to subsequently generate Essential Climate Variable (ECV) products (cf. Annex I and III).
