European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring
• Reference historical databases:
1) in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D)
2) satellite CDRs (CM-SAF)
3) regional reanalysis of past weather (new!)
European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring
• Reference historical databases:
1) in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D)
long-term records but sparse
2) satellite CDRs (CM-SAF)
spatially extensive but short
3) regional reanalysis of past weather (new!)
complete but expensive and some bias
