FROM THE EURAMET SRA
Traditionally operating in individual fields,
metrology has focused on the improvement
of standards for units, carrying out
independent research and dissemination.
ITS 90
Metrology has a critical role to play
in monitoring, understanding and
predicting climate change.
To reach higher effectiveness, it is essential to combine the expertise achieved in the
individual, traditional fields of metrology into new interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary strategies to be developed by NMIs. Such challenges require global
solutions which often exceed the capacity and capability of individual nations and their
National Metrology Institutes (NMIs).
Pooling of metrological resources across national boundaries is essential.

3 Organisation
3.1 The TG members are experts in the different areas completing the several environmental
metrology aspects. They represent the competence of the member organizations in EURAMET in
such fields. In addition to the metrology members, representatives of relevant Institutions
operating in the field of environmental sciences are included with the status of observers.
3.2 The TG is chaired by a convenor. The convenor and the members are elected by the BoD.
3.3 The TG will meet on a regular basis (typically once a year).

Facilitated and encouraged by EMRP projects,
metrologists from European NMIs are now members of
institutions and committees dealing with environmental
issues, e.g. WMO commissions, GAW, ISTI, GCOS
GRUAN, BSRN, IRS, GEO and CEOS. Conversely,
experts in meteorology and climatology now participate in
working groups and task groups of CIPM’s CCs and
EURAMET.

•Climate change is mainly based on surface air temperature trends. Future reference-grade
ground based stations for the generation of temperature data purposely designed for climate trend
records need metrological support
• For lakes, sea and ice surface temperature profiles there is need for homogenous methods of
measurement.
•Permafrost temperature is a key parameter in paleo-climatology and geology: measurements
practices are emerging but further work is needed to establish dedicated calibration procedures and
uncertainties evaluations for sensors immersed in boreholes.
•Physical and chemical properties of the atmosphere, i.e. its physical state, the chemical
composition as well as the essential transport processes by means of optical remote sensing
methodologies and local “in situ” sensing techniques,
•Metrological developments for accurate particulate, aerosol and nanoparticle detection and
traceable characterisation of important particulate metrics like size, size distribution, optical
properties etc.
•Establishment of traceability and data quality for atmospheric and soil humidity.
•Metrology for determination of relevant parameters in the marine environment (such as sea
water salinity, density, pH, composition, heat capacity, speed of sound and dissolved oxygen
content)

•Climate trends in the arctic regions are significantly amplified,: accurate measurements to quickly
capture trends are there of unique importance at a global scale […] and require self-validating in situ
measurements and calibration devices operating in arctic-based research stations.
•Metrology to establish and underpin traceability of key ECVs related to land processes, vegetation
and the carbon cycle are in urgent demand
•Improved earth observation for climate monitoring using remote sensing techniques is becoming
increasingly common and important and includes the traceable linkage between space based and
surface based remote sensing measurements.
•Small to medium scale of network of reference stations, purposely installed for climatology are
missing and required for the future work of harmonisation and homogenisation.
•Metrological research should also include for the evaluation of carbon sequestration technologies.
•There is need to considerably improve the dosimetric and nuclide specific information received in
real-time and minimizing environmental impacts by developing mobile systems for rapid in-situ
measurement
•Development of metrology for environmental forensics and monitoring the worldwide trade of
environmentally critical products
•Metrological development for monitoring environmental noise pollution in air and in the marine
environment.

“Many environmental challenges are
global and can only be fully addressed
through a comprehensive global
approach ...“,
Through the actions proposed,
metrology will address its unique contribution
and experience
for the society, environment, and economy benefit
of Europe and the world.
