The purpose of the EUMETNET Data Rescue and Recovery Initiative is to support the running data rescue activities by

• Providing a “preliminary” data inventory of digital existing data and of data to be rescued
• Increasing the number digitized records (as far as possible)
• Searching for projects or other support to facilitate data rescue
• Homogenizing digital existing data when necessary
• Making these data publicly available

Above all our focus is on climate change, therefore we are looking for

• Series of really long-term (centennial) stations
• Series of mountain station of at least 50 years
• Series of time series in data sparse regions

The expert team on Data Rescue has developed a questionnaire to get an overview of the data situation in WMO’s area of the Regional Association VI.
