3. 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

4. EURO4M project in brief (2 of 4) EURO4M will combine seamlessly the complementary features of in situ observations, satellite data and regional reanalysis

5. 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)

6. 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
