The Global Land and Marine Observations Database provides integrated global land and marine surface meteorological holdings from multiple sources. Various meteorological parameters are served together through a single interface in support of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The data ranges from sub-daily to monthly in frequency and is global in coverage.

This Data Deposit Service allows data providers from anywhere in the world to contribute to our database.

For further information, please contact Simon Noone.

Data Rescue

The Data Rescue service is a partner project designed to facilitate and coordinate the rescue of weather and climate data from around the world. The service runs an online user-based system that provides access to information on past, current and planned data rescue projects, as well as tools and guidance to facilitate each stage of the data rescue process.

This is for data not digitised/transcribed yet and still in image format or digitisation still in progress.

Inventories

You can check the existing datasets at the inventories page. Here you can see what datasets have already been added, the variables provided and time periods, etc.
