Thereby, wepursued two major objectives: • To improve existing and to develop new indicators for the DAS, based on remote sensing products from Copernicus • To identify and recommend potentials for improvement for the Copernicus services in order to enable a consistent climate change monitoring Scope Conclusions EGU 2016: ClimateServices – Underpinning Science (PICO Session)

Thereby, wepursued two major objectives: • To improve existing and to develop new indicators for the DAS, based on remote sensing products from Copernicus • To identify and recommend potentials for improvement for the Copernicus services in order to enable a consistent climate change monitoring Scope B: Data for measuring the indicator can be generated from Copernicus services, however, this would involve costly or time-intensive methods  Recommendations for the Copernicus services Category B Conclusions Category C C: Copernicus products do not fit with the indicator's underlying hypothesis. An improvement of the indicator is doubtful Will not be further considered in the project next EGU 2016: ClimateServices – Underpinning Science (PICO Session)

Allows calculating highly dynamic parameters, trends and anomalies. Allows long-term monitoring • Services provide free access to a multitude of products • Many products are not yet operational/validated, catalogues often overfraught • Long and consistent data series are yet missing (climate change service!?) • Most products are too generic for specific monitoring questions • Downstream- / Value adding services often more appropriate (not freely available) • Relation to other EO-based climate change initiatives (CM-SAF, ESA CCI, etc.) unclear • In-situ component weak • Recommendations for public authorities: make use the potential of combining remote sensing, in-situ measurements & models for climate impact monitoring • Recommendations for Copernicus: provide a good user documentation and evaluation guidelines; calculate high-resolution products based on sentinel data; use the climate change service to provide long-term and consistent data records Monitoring climate change impacts and adaptations (DAS-Indicator System) Copernicus earth observation services Services related to climate change ?!
