  1. WMO/IOC/UNEP/ICSUGCOS Atmospheric Observation Panel for Climate (AOPC) Mean Sea Level Pressure Working Group Rob Allan Hadley Centre, Met Office, UK EC EMULATE Start-up Meeting, UEA, Norwich, UK November 18th-19th 2002

  2. Aims of the AOPC MSLP Working Group • promote the analysis of global surface pressure from both real-time & historical sources using both daily & monthly data • record & evaluate differences among surface pressure analyses through comparison of basic products • recommend actions needed to ensure the quality & consistency of surface pressure analyses based on analysis of those differences • promote the recovery of atmospheric pressure data, including issues associated with data access, archiving & maintenance • promote the comparison of the various types of barometers & pressure sensors (including satellite estimates) used to measure surface pressure • report annually to AOPC (& OOPC) on progress, recommendations & future plans of the Group
