-| GAW calibration centres are either global (WCCs) or regional (RCCs) in responsibility.&nbsp; The centres are operated by institutions participating in the GAW programme that are able to provide sufficient technical facilities and highly qualified personnel.&nbsp; WCCs and RCCs must be officially recognized by the WMO Commission on Atmospheric Science through its Working Group on Environmental Pollution and Atmospheric Chemistry.&nbsp; The main tasks of WCCs and RCCs as outlined in (WMO/GAW Strategy of Implementation, 2001 [[http://www.wmo.int/web/arep/reports/gaw142.pdf|Report No. 142]]) are:
-  * Develop quality control procedures and SOPs for traceability of measurements to the reference standards
-  * Maintain laboratory and transfer standards that are traceable to the reference standards
-  * Perform regular calibrations and audits at GAW sites
-  * Provide in co-operation with QA/SACs training and technical assistance for stations
-GAW Calibration Centres also provide on-site training and expert advice to help station personnel maintain the required data quality.&nbsp; Workshops are also held during inter-comparisons and calibration campaigns.&nbsp; Further help is provided to the less experienced personnel at new stations by personnel from well-established and technically advanced stations.&nbsp; In addition, GAW Calibration Centres sometimes sponsor training sessions for station personnel, particularly those located in developing countries ([[http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/arep/gaw/capacity-building.html|Capacity Building]]).
