COST Action - CRIM

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding organisation for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and beyond and enable researchers and innovators to grow their ideas in any science and technology field by sharing them with their peers.

CRIM – CA24155 – Climate Reference Instruments and Measurements (Upper-air, Column and Near Surface)

The Climate Reference Instruments and Measurements (Upper-air, Column and Near Surface) COST Action (CRIM) addresses the critical needs for traceable measurements to the International System of Units (SI) and robust uncertainty quantification in atmospheric and climate research.

The primary objective of CRIM is to foster collaboration and harmonization among researchers, institutions, and stakeholders across Europe, and beyond, to enhance the quality, reliability, and credibility of observational data in climate science. The final aim is to ultimately improve confidence in detecting climate trends and predicting severe events.
