  1. The European Drought Observatory (EDO) Scope and Data Jürgen Vogt, Stefan Niemeyer European Commission Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability Ispra (VA), Italy http://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu

  2. Drought • Creeping phenomenon • Not a localized event • Long-term and far reaching impacts • To be distinguished from aridity • To be distinguished from water scarcity

  3. Communication on Water Scarcity and Drought COM(2007)414Final EDO WS&D-IS yearly water scarcity indicators JRC EEA yearly aggregated drought indicators European Reporting and Information System (WISE) Global Drought Monitoring System Network Network EDO Context

  4. Web-based Platform for detection, monitoring, forecasting and information exchange • Provide drought-related information at the European scale • Mutual exchange of knowledge & methodologies • Real-time monitoring and forecasting (early warning, preparedness) • Multi-scale approach, integrating • Continental level  MS level  Regional level • Commonly agreed products (e.g. drought indices) • Joint comparison and analysis of information • Subsidiarity principle • European level information + platform (JRC) • National datasets managed at MS level • Regional information processed by river basin / regional environmental authorities • De-central data holding EDO - Vision

  5. European Data Layers Products MONITORING & MODELLING Rainfall Anomalies LC/LU Hydrological Processes Soil Moisture Anomalies Soil DEM RBs Vegetation Vigour … … Meteorological Data Land Surface Processes Stations Fields Fore- casts Remote Sensing Data FAPAR NDWI Time Series EDO System Setup Communication on Drought and Water Scarcity Drought Management Plans EDO Map Server VEGETATION STATE Relevant Authorities: European, Member States, River Basins, …

  6. Current EDO Database – Europe • Precipitation • Monthly SPI (for different aggregation periods) • 1 week forecast • Soil Moisture • Daily soil moisture • Daily soil moisture anomaly • Forecasted soil moisture anomaly • Forecasted soil moisture trend • Vegetation status • NDWI 10-day daily composites • fAPAR 10-day composites. • fAPAR anomalies 10-day composites.  Coverage of the entire European continent

  7. Content of the EDO Database

  8. SPI Como, IT 3-month Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for 10-12/2008 aggregated to regional level Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) http://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu/

  9. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI)

  10. 13 April 2010 13 April 2010 Until 22 April 2010 Until 22 April 2010 Soil Moisture Soil Moisture Anomaly Soil Moisture Anomaly Forecast (7 days) Soil Moisture Trend (7 days) Soil Moisture Information Based on LISFLOOD 5km spatial resolution

  11. Soil Moisture Information

  12. Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) • Spectral index correlated with the vegetation water content. • Calculated every day from the previous 10 MODIS images available. • Time-composite algorithm. NDWI, decade 2-11 May 2010.

  13. NDWI 10-day Composites

  14. Photosynthetic Activity (fAPAR) fAPAR, 21-31 May 2009 1km resolution Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR) fAPAR Anomaly, 21-31 May 2009 • Calculated from MERIS and SeaWIFS data (1997 ) • http://fapar.jrc.ec.europa.eu

  15. fAPAR 10-day Composites

  16. fAPAR Anomaly 10-day Composites

  17. Maps (Grid and administrative units) Time Series (Specific queries possible) PDF Reports, JPGs KML file EDO Map Server: Output Options

  18. Next Steps Further development and validation of indicators Building of composite indicator Integration with MS and Regional Systems  setup of a data and information infrastructure (EUROGEOSS)  Inter-regional level: - Drought Management Centre for South East Europe (DMCSEE)  National level: - Observatorio Nacional de Sequias (ONS), ES - Portail national d'Accès aux Données sur les Eaux Souterraines, BRGM, F - Italy, UK, Finland (WS&D Expert Network)  Regional level: - Confederacion Hidrografica del Ebro (CHE)

  19. Next Steps • Study on the Carpathian Climate • - data rescue, harmonisation, analysis • - drought indicators and link to EDO • DB on past drought events? • - first study end 1990s • - media monitor EDO Prototype to be ready by end 2012
