Deliverables • A total of 9 deliverables are due in the first 12-month period • (5 x KNMI, 2 x DWD, 1 x NMA-RO, 1 x MF) Action items: • Partners to check the DoW (please inform the Coordinator in an early stage if any difficulties in meeting the deadline are foreseen!)

Gender action plan • DoW describes how we will consider gender aspects Action items: • All partners to consider gender equality when appointing staff • Coordinator to liaise with other projects for gender action plan
Domain • European ECV output datasets from EURO4M will cover Europe in its entirety, which implies that they cover at least the NAE reanalyses domain Action items: • MO to send exact specifications of NAE domain
Resolution • Gridded datasets will be accompanied by a description of grid resolution, associated uncertainties and effective resolution • User-driven derived datasets (e.g. for river basins) used in the CIBs or presented as part of the CIBs may be based on higher resolution underlying data Action items: • Partners developing CIBs in WP3 will contact WP1 and 2 data providers for user driven data extractions required in the CIBs
Data dissemination to the outside world • ECV output datasets from EURO4M (Table B.1.1.a) will be distributed mainly through existing systems (e.g. MARS archive, ECA&D archive, CM-SAF archive), which can be accessed from a dedicated EURO4M web-based data portal • A user-driven selection will be made available using more advanced methods (part of CIBs) Action items: • KNMI (WP3) to explore the use of OGC webservices, in particular for data that are part of the CIBs
Data requests to the outside world • Requests for cooperation on data with institutions outside the EURO4M consortium will be coordinated to avoid scattered and repeated contacts Action items: • WP1 and 2 leaders to make an inventory of data requests • Coordinator (together with WP leaders) to draft a letter (and liaise with EUMETNET/ECSN where appropriate)
