Presentation Transcript

  1. Climate data for environment assessments BlazKurnik European Environment Agency

  2. Projects currently involving climate dataEEA and climate data • Climate impacts/vulnerability/adaptation assessments (Climate change report 2012) • Water accounts (input to EC Blue print report) • ClimateWatch and Eye on Earth platform

  3. Selected indicators: global and European mean temperature - past Data from HadCRU GISS, E-OBS

  4. Selected indicators: European precipitation – past Data: GPCC, E-OBS Precipitation trends Timeseries of standardised precipitation index (SPI-12)

  5. Selected indicators: temperature and precipitation - projections Data from ENSEMBLES 2071-2100 2051-2070 Annual temperature change Annual precipitation change

  6. Selected indicators: European extreme precipitation – past + projections Data from GPCC, E-OBS, ENSEMBLES European area under SPI-12 <-1.5 – extremely dry TS: 1901 – 2010 Heavy precipitation events Probability for SPI-12 <-1.5 (extremely dry) from 8 RCMs 2021-2040 2041-2060 2061-2080

  7. Water accounts - Soil water balance calculation Total run-off Days with dry soil Assessing water quantity and quality in Europe Actual evapotranspiration

  8. Water accounts - Soil water balance climatology

  9. Watches and Eye on Earth – interaction with citizens www.EyeonEarth.eu • WaterWatch • AirWatch • NoiseWatch • NatureWatch • ClimateWatch

  10. ClimateWatch and Eye on Earth – interactions with citizens Feasibility study (2011) Pilot product(s) (2012) • Proposals: • Heat waves • Phenology • Droughts • Flash floods • … Data ? e.g: number of days with dry soil

  11. Conclusions • Majority of environmental assessments need climate data as input • Data are used at different spatial and temporal scales (both derived indices and “raw” climate data) • Focus on user oriented environment assessments • Increasing role of moderating links between data/products providers and data/products users - (ClearingHouse)
