                         analyses. The foundation is the establishment of a global land 
                         surface Databank. This builds upon the groundbreaking efforts of 
                         scientists in the 1980s and 1990s. While using many of their 
                         principles, a primary aim is to improve aspects including data 
                         provenance, version control, openness and transparency, temporal 
                         and spatial coverage, and improved methods for merging disparate 
                         sources. The initial focus is on daily and monthly timescales. A 
                         Databank Working Group is focused on establishing Stage-0 
                         (original observation forms) through Stage-3 data (merged dataset 
                         without quality control). More than 35 sources of data have 
                         already been added and efforts have now turned to development of 
                         the initial version of the merged dataset. Methods have been 
                         established for ensuring to the extent possible the provenance of 
                         all data from the point of observation through all intermediate 
                         steps to final archive and access. Databank submission procedures 
                         were designed to make the process of contributing data as easy as 
                         possible. All data are provided openly and without charge. We 
                         encourage the use of these data and feedback from interested 
                         users.",
