  1. EUMETGRIDTowards a common European data infrastructure for gridded climate data

  2. Who is EUMETGRID? • An optional programme of EUMETNET • 25 participating NMSs • Programme Manager: Ole Einar Tveito, met.no • Climate scientists, gridding experts, IT experts, users • Building on demonstration project (S- EUROGRID)

  3. Why EUMETGRID? • Continental-scale gridded climate data is important to … • understand past climate variations and their origin • improve prediction of climate variations and change • adapt to a changing climate • improve warning against extremes/hazards • Huge amount of gridded climate information exists • Distributed, fragmented, many not sustained • Increasing needs and requirements for downstream services • S-EUROGRID survey: 99% would use a pan-European, high-resolution • Harmonization is needed for making data available and useful for a wider community.

  4. SEAMLESS ACCESS TO THE BEST AVAILABLE HIGH RESOLUTION GRIDDED DATA SETS IN EUROPE AND THEIR RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

  5. High resolution adds value 22. August 2005 daily 1x1 km all available stations quality prooved data

  6. EUMETGRID … … should complement on-going re-analysis and observational interpolation initiatives by: • Provide access to gridded climate data that already exist. • Develop an in-situ based pan-European gridded data set based on tiled national datasets. • Establish a sustainable data infrastructure for exchange and distribution of grid data and products: • distributed archives, adapted to different data policies. • Cooperate with and take advantage of other relevant initiatives providing gridded data, e.g. the EURO4M FP7 project.

  7. Variables:Atmospheric surface parameters: • air temperature (daily mean, min and max) • precipitation • possibly others (air pressure, snow cover, …) • Area:Europe in its entirety. The EUMETNET area, WMO Region VI, Europe as defined by EEA, the African Mediterranean countries and the countries of the Middle East. • Period:The past 50-100 years with a focus on 1971 till present.

  8. Data access & Exchange • Data sets • Dataformats • ”Dataprocessing” • IT EUMETGRID Structure • Gridding methods • testing • comparison CROSS CUTTING Border problem Re-projection & re-sampling Data access & Services portal Data Policy • User interaction and services • User needs • data-on-demand vs ready-to-go-data Management

  9. Compliant to standards/specs of: WIS, INSPIRE, GEO(SS), GMES

  11. Timeline

  12. Best available data High resolution Full climate networks Local knowledge, continental coverage One access point / distributed sources Clearer ownership Added value for users Downstream services Coverage Tiling Re-useable technology Benefits from EUMETGRID

  13. EUMETGRID <> FP7 call for GCI • Concept in accordance with principles GEO • Same challenges with interoperability / data sharing • Committment for sustainability and unified access • Interest in sharing knowledge and experience • EUMETGRID is still a concept • Not as mature as TIGGE, HARON, GOOS • Allocation to SBA unclear
