Data Rescue Programme purpose

Vision: Transforming old archives into a source for a high value of climate information

Progressing science• Climate variability and climate change assessment,• Modeling,• Calibration of Satellite dataSector Applications and Risk Management • Agriculture, Water Resources, Energy, Insurance• Disaster Risk Reduction• Climate Early Warning

Data Rescue (DARE) is an integral part of the World Climate Services Program with a long term goal of rescuing and digitizing climate records. A focus is made on those records at risk of loss. DARE enables climate science and climate services by making readily available long and high quality climate datasets needed for:

3-tiered approachGlobal coordination: Provision of best practices/guidelines on DARE and monitoring its activities worldwide.

– WMO DARE activity guided by the WMO Commission for Climatology

Regional Integrating initiatives: Focus on regional needs for addressing common climate issues and data and information sharing

European Climate Assessment and Data Sets (ECA&D) Data shared by 62 countries Mediterranean Data Rescue Initiative (MEDARE), 22 Member countries contributing West African Assessment and Data Rescue Initiative (WACA-DARE), 17 countries Indian Ocean Data Rescue initiative ( in a planning phase)

National Data Rescue projects: National Meteorological institutions get benefit from global/regional initiatives to undertake operational DARE activities

National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) leading Increased support by the WMO technical programs and the Resource Mobilization Office Increased bilateral collaboration with a WMO facilitating role Increased national government awareness of the critical aspect of climate data helped prioritizing DARE in recent years

DARE Partnership

DARE is a continous WMO programme, worldwide efforts are needed in supporting it financially
