... Management of climate data sets also needs additional attention and support. Raw and processed measurements and follow-on products need to be accessible in a form that enables a number of different research groups to replicate the processing of the more widely disseminated data 'I The NRC report Adequacy of Climate Observing Systems (NRC, 1999)

... (4) The scientific community should explore the possibility of exploiting the sophisticated protocols that are now routinely used to ensure the quality control and consistency of the data ingested into operational numerical weather prediction models, to improve the reliability of the data sets used to monitor global climate change.
