EURO4M reference historical databases of ECVs: • in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D) • satellite CDRs (CM-SAF) • regional reanalyses of past weather (new!) Collocation meeting, REA, Brussels, 15 May 2013
EURO4M reference historical databases of ECVs: • in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D)long-term records (50-100yr) but sparse • satellite CDRs (CM-SAF)spatially extensive but short (<30yr) • regional reanalyses of past weather (new!)spatially and temporally complete but expensive and some model bias Collocation meeting, REA, Brussels, 15 May 2013
Dissemination: • all 12 EURO4M datasets have factsheets and pointers on www.euro4m.eu • visualisation tool under development (also used for IS-ENES GCM portal, etc.) • nearly all datasets are published in papers in the scientific literature • maturityindex would provide additional QA, but seems less adequate to answer the “fit-for-purpose” question which is user dependent, and difficult to capture in a single applicationperformanceindex per ECV dataset Collocation meeting, REA, Brussels, 15 May 2013

From data to services (hand-over to downstream): Climate Indicator Bulletins Collocation meeting, REA, Brussels, 15 May 2013
bulletins present user-driven (integrated) information derived from ECV datasets • avoid handling terabytes of data • focus on impact relevant indicators(of extremes) including uncertainty estimates • first bulletin on Europeantemperature (for EEA) Reference historical databases Climate Indicator Bulletins Collocation meeting, REA, Brussels, 15 May 2013
Application areas: • EURO4M data and information is already used in a wide range of application areas including: monitoring policy-relevant indicators, driving impact models with time series of past and present-day climate (e.g. river discharge, coastal protection, agriculture, health, energy) (GMES) Climate Change Service Collocation meeting, REA, Brussels, 15 May 2013
