EURO4M: European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring • Project of EU-FP7-SPACE, 9 partners, April 2010 – March 2014 European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011
Goal: meeting the need for climate monitoring information European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011
EURO4M • Goal: meeting the need for climate monitoring information • Need: long-term dataandassessments describing climate variability and change in Europe European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011
Goal: meeting the need for climate monitoring information • Need: long-term data and assessments describing climate variability and change in Europe …supporting science-based mitigation and adaptation …placing high-impact extremes (such as floods and heat waves) in a historical context European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011

EURO4M develops two types of information services: + Reference historical databases Climate Indicator Bulletins European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011
Reference historical databases contain Climate Data Records from: • satellites • in-situ observations • regional reanalysis of past weather European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011
Reference historical databases contain Climate Data Records from: • satellitesspatially extensive but short • in-situ observationslong-term records but sparse • regional reanalysis of past weathercomplete but expensive (+ some bias) European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011
