7. High priority for additional observations should be focused on data‐poor areas,<br />
poorly‐observed parameters, areas sensitive to change, and key measurements<br />
with inadequate temporal resolution. National, regional and global network<br />
adequacy assessments are pertinent here. The development of improved<br />
observational technologies should focus on those observations and regions for<br />
which capturing quality observations have proven problematic (e.g. precipitation<br />
in cold climates).<br />
8. Long‐term requirements should be specified to network designers, operators and<br />
instrument engineers at the outset of system design and implementation.<br />
Sustainable climate monitoring can only be achieved through a shared<br />
understanding, and considerable liaison, between observation network and<br />
system managers, data managers and climatologists. The latter will need to<br />
represent the very broad needs of end-users. There are close parallels here with<br />
the first principle identified, particularly regarding the need for a change<br />
management program.
