Impact relevant Climate Information Indices

Euporias kick-off, Barcelona, 6-8 November 2012 10

Datasets

ECA&D European Climate Assessment & Dataset:station data & climate indices

E-OBS European daily gridded observational dataset:precipitation, temperature and sea level pressure

Euporias kick-off, Barcelona, 6-8 November 2012 11

Climate indices relevant for the Water Sector

Generate, Evaluate, Calibrate Climate Indices based on ECA&D, E-OBS, Reanalyses, Model hindcasts and forecasts

Assessment of the predictive skill in terms of these climate indices with a focus on Rhine and Meuse river discharge

Climate indices

Contribution to EUPORIAS WP 4.2

Climate services prototypes

Designing user-oriented bulletins for specific sectors with an interpretation of s2d predictions and uncertainties, including links to the historical and current data and trends.

(Builds on the EURO4M Climate Indicator Bulletins that are based on historical data)

Depends on selected prototypes and predictive skill of indices

Bulletins

Contribution to EUPORIAS WP 4.4

Delivery tools

Euporias kick-off, Barcelona, 6-8 November 2012 15

Objectives

To develop an interface which allows an effective delivery of the climate services developed in WP 4.2 to the general public and decision-makers

In this manner, goes beyond improving reliability of the s2d prediction systems by enhancing the usability of s2d forecasts in practical applications
