This document specifies a harm<strong>on</strong>ised data specificati<strong>on</strong> for the spatial data theme <strong>Atmospheric</strong><br />
C<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Meteorological Geographical Features as defined in Annex III of the INSPIRE<br />
Directive.<br />
This data specificati<strong>on</strong> provides the basis for the drafting of Implementing Rules according to Article 7<br />
(1) of the INSPIRE Directive [Directive 2007/2/EC]. The entire data specificati<strong>on</strong> will be published as<br />
implementati<strong>on</strong> guidelines accompanying these Implementing Rules.<br />

2.1 Name<br />
INSPIRE data specificati<strong>on</strong> for the theme <strong>Atmospheric</strong> C<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Meteorological Geographical<br />
Features.<br />
