The meteorological agencies that monitor global climate [NASA, Met Office, NOAA, Japanese Meteorological Agency] calculate temperature anomalies according to data from many stations around the globe.
Where one can find a full list of those stations for each agency?
Do those agencies rely upon the same stations or different?
Are those stations the same every year or different?
The stations are the same for all time. You can find all list in WMO web site.

Thank you very much for your answer Erkin Isaev .
If the results come always from the same stations, then why the various agencies announce different results?
E.g. https://climate.nasa.gov/system/news_items/main_images/2241_annual_temperature_anomalies_768x293_60.jpg
because only a limited number of climate stations are involved in the international exchange, but there are more stations in the national meteorological services. For example, in Kyrgyzstan, in the international exchange via WMO, only 7 stations send data, but there are more than 55 stations in the country.
Apparently WMO presents just a handful of the thousand stations that are used by the major agencies measuring global temperature. I wonder how to find a comprehensive list.
