ESR3 at GRUAN ICM-7 and GAIA-CLIM Kick-Off meeting
During the last week of February, the 7th GRUAN Implementation and Coordination Meeting (ICM-7) was held in Matera (Italy) and hosted by CNR-IMAA. GRUAN is the GCOS Reference Upper Air Network, an international reference observing network designed to meet climate requirements and to fill a major void in the current global observing system. Upper air observations within the GRUAN network will provide long-term high-quality climate records, that will be used to constrain and validate data from space based remote sensors, and will provide accurate data for the study of atmospheric processes.
