Ten climate monitoring principles 1. The impact of new systems or changes to existing systems should be assessed prior to implementation. Relevant changes are those affecting instruments, observing practices, observation locations, sampling rates, etc (which are made due to developing technologies, cost saving, etc). 2. A suitable period of overlap for new and old observing systems is required. Parallel observation programs between existing observation systems and their replacements (or between new and old meteorological sites in the event of a relocation) should be part of any strategy to preserve the continuity and homogeneity of the climate record.
3. The details and history of local conditions, instruments, operating procedures, data processing algorithms and other factors pertinent to interpreting data (metadata) should be documented and treated with the same care as the data themselves. Good quality metadata are now critical to meteorological services, particularly for climate operations and research. There is a need for ready access to metadata (i.e. preferably in electronic form) for: data interpretation; quality control; network selection; network/system performance monitoring; client expectations; international obligations (e.g. for GCOS Surface Networks); and identification and adjustment of climate records for nonclimatic discontinuities. Modern databases are providing efficient access to important station metadata, including photographs, site plans and other useful documents.
