Abstract
At the German national meteorological service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD) climate relevant data have been produced and collected operationally for more than one hundred years. As an information system on these data a Climate Information System (Klimainformationssystem, KLIS) is being installed. The access to KLIS will be made possible by the World Wide Web (WWW) on Internet. This contribution will focus on the question of how to utilize existing sources and how to organize the information in such a system. Interfaces to the operational data bank systems at the DWD as well as to information systems like the referral system INFOCLIMA of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) or the International Directory Network (IDN) of the Centre of Earth observation (CEO) will be discussed.
