The project aims to develop metrological traceability for the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) defined by Global Climate Observing System (GCOS): water vapor in upper-air and surface atmosphere, surface and deep sea temperature and salinity, air temperature, precipitation, albedo, permafrost temperature and soil moisture. On the basis of results and experience achieved during the running ENV07 MeteoMet Project, this new proposal extends the activities to further objectives: from sensor calibration uncertainties to measurement uncertainties, improvement of the developed devices and their use in field oriented activities, new investigations on sensors characteristics for the generation of higher quality climate data, extension of the analyzed ECVs
