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 />
