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 useroriented 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
EURO4M project in brief (3 of 4)
•
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 (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
•
