GCW Structure

Advisory Group

The Advisory Group of GCW (GCW-AG), Task Teams (TT), and national Focal Points are central to GCW operations. The GCW Advisory Group provides high-level guidance on GCW development and implementation, and steers the activities of its teams. GCW-AG engages experts covering all components of the cryosphere — snow, sea and freshwater ice, permafrost, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and solid precipitation - representatives of WMO Members and partners, covering both operational and scientific activities. See the official WMO web pages for more information on the Advisory Group, including members and Terms of Reference.

Focal Points

The list of national focal points for the Global Cryosphere Watch is also maintained on the official WMO website, as are the Focal Points Terms of Reference.
