  8. Mountains and Mountain Forests

  9. 31.8 % of mountainous terrain 7.6 % of continental surface

  10. 84% Mountainous Terrain (Excluding Antartica)

  12. Objectives • establish a coordinated activity amongst high altitude climate monitoring stations • a. create a sub-network of high altitude monitoring stations including CEOP Phase II reference stations • b. create an electronic archive of these stations • c. provide QA/QC protocols for high altitude station installation and data management • 2. improve our understanding of water and energy cycles in high elevation regions by studying their role within the climate system, using • a. remote sensing observations • c. models analysis and application • 3. help improve the quality of life of the populations living at high altitude or depending on resources from high altitude • improve the management of water resources, building synergies between meteorological-climate and hydrological studies; • improve the forecast capabilities of extreme weather events at high altitudes • raise awareness on the links between environment, economics and socitety
