Summary • 5 DEMETER models are archiving into MARS • Hindcasts from 1987 – 1996 are available • Full DEMETER data set (1969-1998) not available • before end of 2003 • free (!) online (!) data retrieval very likely to be • installed and working at the end of 2002 • Wide range of diagnostic plots freely accessible on the • DEMETER web site: www.ecmwf.int/research/verification • First results demonstrate value of multi-model approach
