Data to the Rescue
Innovation International
The founders of two international climate data rescue organisations talk passionately about their goals and the collaborative work they are undertaking together – expounding their belief that only by ascertaining historical climatic trends can we fully understand the future

ACRE Workshop
ACRE feeding weather reconstructions
and historical weather data forum
9 th ACRE Workshop,Maynooth, Ireland: The first half of the event will bring together the 9th Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth (ACRE) Workshop, with its focus on the international initiative’s core components: historical global weather data rescue, feeding historical global dynamical weather reconstructions (reanalyses), to create 4D global state-of-the-art weather databases for climate applications and services needs. The second half of the event will be an Historical Weather and Climate Data Forum, at which representatives from major international organisations focusing on terrestrial and marine meteorological data rescue, homogenisation, storage and access, will discuss progress and the need to focus future work on the unification and coordination of data rescue endeavours and data portals, and the creation of a central terrestrial database to match that existing in the marine sphere (i.e. an terrestrial version of the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set [ICOADS]).
ACRE data confirms global land warming
Barometric pressure confirms the
temperature record
A unique and innovative new observational study that did not use temperature recordings from land stations has confirmed global land warming, according to a scientist at NOAA’s Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). The finding refutes concerns that artifacts in land-based observing systems have led to an artificial global land warming trend. “This shows that global warming over land is real,” said CIRES scientist lead author Gilbert Compo who works at NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory. “It is not an artifact of the observing system. It is happening.”
