 ative of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)\, the Intergovernment
 al Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO\, the United Nations Environme
 nt Programme (UN Environment) and the International Council for Science (I
 SC). The overall goal of GCOS is to ensure the sustained provision of reli
 able physical\, chemical and biological observations and data records for 
 the climate system as a whole – across the atmospheric\, oceanic and ter
 restrial domains\, including hydrological and carbon cycles and the cryosp
 here.\n\nThis call for proposals focuses on 2 different pillars of the GCO
 S Switzerland Strategy 2017-2026:\n\n	Pillar 1: “Enhance and strengthen 
 the Swiss climate observing system”\n	Pillar 2 : “Promote collaboratio
 n nationally\, regionally and globally”\n\n\nMeteoSwiss herewith calls f
