URI: http://codes.wmo.int/wmdr/ProgramAffiliation/centennialObservingstations
Long-term meteorological observations are unique sources of past information about atmospheric parameters, thus are references for climate variability and change assessments. To highlight this importance, WMO has a mechanism to recognize centennial observing stations. By so doing, the Organization promotes sustainable observational standards and best practices that facilitate the generation of high-quality time series data.
