X E C A C 2000 European Climate Assessment Pisa, 16 October 2000 Albert Klein Tank KNMI, the Netherlands
Aim at WMO Region VI (Europe and Middle East) • Note: EUMETNET/ECSN = 18 out of 48 countries
Guide • ECA-project approach • Use of climate indicators • Trend map examples • (Near) future • Concluding remarks
Indicators based on: 144 daily temperature series 152 daily precipitation series
Use of climate indicators E.g. • Tx • ETR/DTR • Id • Tx10/Tx90 • Wd/Su/Csu • HWFI
(Near) future • Text drafting: • New daily data set of surface air temperature and precipitation observations for European Climate Assessment • Homogeneity of the ECA temperature data • Trends in indicators for temperature and precipitation extremes • ???
Concluding remarks • Additional data gathering (still gaps)and processing required • Discussion on daily series QC /homogeneity issues ( Janet Wijngaard) • Follow-up in ECD-project ( Aryan van Engelen)
