Climatological products are required for monitoring and studying global climate change and accurately identifying secular trends over the past two centuries. These products require consistent and wellcharacterised observational data and metadata from the earliest ship observations and from the modern ocean observing system. Maintaining and developing longterm surface marine climatological datasets requires a different approach to data management than for operational applications.The current management of climatological datasets is discussed and specific modernization steps recommended. The status of relevant in situ observing systems is reviewed in the context of available satellite data. The extent to which requirements for maintaining sampling, redundancy, and consistency are met by existing data delivery mechanisms is considered. Recommendations include: data and metadata rescue; maintaining consistency with the historical record; modernization of data flow and climatological products; for observations with added-value through improved metadata, quality control and uncertainty characterization; and improved dataset construction methods.

CLIMAR Workshops track the progress in marine climatology comprehensively covering scientific, methodological and data management issues of marine climatology (see e.g. Gulev, 2005;Gulev and Woodruff, 2011).Marine climatological data play a crucial role in assessing past and ongoing climate variability and change. Without long-term global and regional time series of marine climatological data, we cannot track global climate and quantify the ocean's role in climate variability and change. Besides estimation of variability of surface state variables, marine climatological data allow for computation of surface air-sea fluxes -the language of ocean and atmosphere communication. Also marine climatological archives provide invaluable contribution to the data assimilated by modern reanalyses, some of which are going back now to the 19th century, documenting the dynamically consistent history of the climate system. Marine climatological records (e.g. information about winds and waves) are also widely used for estimation of extreme events over the ocean, including storminess, storm surges and extreme sea level rise. These phenomena are of great importance for all types of marine structures, including operations of marine carriers and offshore engineering. Finally, marine climatological data provide an important source of in situ information for validation of satellite measurements of surface meteorological variables.
