Global Atmosphere Watch

The Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) is a worldwide system established by the World Meteorological Organization  a United Nations agency  to monitor trends in the Earth's atmosphere. It arose out of concerns for the state of the atmosphere in the 1960s.

Mission

The Global Atmosphere Watch's mission is quite straightforward, consisting of three concise points:

  • To make reliable, comprehensive observations of the chemical composition and selected physical characteristics of the atmosphere on global and regional scales;
  • To provide the scientific community with the means to predict future atmospheric states;
  • To organize assessments in support of formulating environmental policy.
  • Goals

    The GAW program is guided by 8 strategic goals:

  • To improve the measurements programme for better geographical and temporal coverage and for near real-time monitoring capability;
  • To complete the quality assurance/quality control system;
  • To improve availability of data and promote their use;
