9. European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011 EURO4M develops two types of information services: + Reference historical databases Climate Indicator Bulletins

10. European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011 Reference historical databases contain Climate Data Records from: 1)satellites 2)in-situ observations 3)regional reanalysis of past weather

11. European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring MACC Conference, Utrecht, 23-27 May 2011 Reference historical databases contain Climate Data Records from: 1)satellites spatially extensive but short 2)in-situ observations long-term records but sparse 3)regional reanalysis of past weather complete but expensive (+ some bias)
