EURO4MEuropean Reanalysis andObservations for Monitoring
Agenda• EURO4M project in brief
• Deliverables
• Structure
• External links
• Communication
EURO4M project in brief (1 of 4)• Everybody is expecting that climate data is simply available given
their experience having weather forecasts for every location on every day, but…
• …there are no climate monitoring programmes dedicated to user-oriented indicators for Europe
• …many national ECV datasets exist, but responsibilities are scattered with lack of European integration
EURO4M project in brief (2 of 4)• EURO4M will combine seamlessly the complementary features of
in situ observations, satellite data and regional reanalysis
• Scope:
variables: GCOS-ECVs for the atmosphere
area: Europe in its entirety (including the Mediterranean)
resolution: down to 25km (direct observations) and 3km (regional reanalysis and downscaling)
period: past 20-150 years (as long as possible for each data source)
particular focus on climate extremes
EURO4M project in brief (3 of 4)
EURO4M project in brief (4 of 4)• Goal is to contribute to an operational GMES service on climate
change, which provides:
best possible and up-to-date (gridded) climate change time series for Europe
innovative and integrated multi-purpose data products for research and application sector users
outreach at European, national and local levels
near-real time reporting for emerging extreme events
Deliverables• Papers, reports, etc.
• Datasets
• Climate IndicatorBulletins (CIBs)
