Working Group 1 will identify, search and collect information about phenological data that are stored in national archives. This search includes meta-data on the location and procedures, under which phenological observations have been performed. An essential part of the meta-information is the observational rules and the performed quality checks prescribed by the agency responsible for the data.

A catalogue will be set up on the available data including metadata from the participating countries. The catalogue is open for extension to other countries. An approach will be adopted for actively searching for data from non-participating countries through various networks of NMHSs and relevant organisations.

Chair of Working Group 1 is:
Jiri Nekovar
Czech Hydrometeorological Institute
