2. Terrestrial Observation Panel for Climate
3. Key activities

• Assessing the current state of the terrestrial component of the global observing system for climate and identifying its gaps and inadequacies in present observing systems and designs to ensure long-term monitoring
• Reviewing and monitoring the adequacy of terrestrial observing networks such as the Global Terrestrial Networks (GTNs), and promoting their integration and development in order to measure and exchange ECV and climate data and information
• Identifying measurable terrestrial key variables that control the physical, biological and chemical processes affecting climate, and are indicators of climate change
• Coordinating activities with other global observing systems, panels and task groups to ensure the consistency of requirements with overall programmes
