EUMETGRIDEUMETGRID Towards a common European data Towards a common European data infrastructure for gridded climate data infrastructure for gridded climate data
G.I.E./EIG EUMETNET, Registered Number 0818.801.249 - RPM Bruxelles
Who is EUMETGRID?
• An optional programme of EUMETNET• 25 participating NMSs
• Programme Manager: Ole Einar Tveito, met.no• Climate scientists, gridding experts, IT experts, users
• Building on demonstration project (S- EUROGRID)
G.I.E./EIG EUMETNET, Registered Number 0818.801.249 - RPM Bruxelles
Why EUMETGRID?
• Continental-scale gridded climate data is important to …
– understand past climate variations and their origin
– improve prediction of climate variations and change
– adapt to a changing climate
– improve warning against extremes/hazards
• Huge amount of gridded climate information exists
– Distributed, fragmented, many not sustained
• Increasing needs and requirements for downstream services
– S-EUROGRID survey: 99% would use a pan-European, high-resolution
• Harmonization is needed for making data available and useful for a wider community.

… should complement on-going re-analysis and observational interpolation initiatives by:
• Provide access to gridded climate data that already exist.
• Develop an in-situ based pan-European gridded data set based on tiled national datasets.
• Establish a sustainable data infrastructure for exchange and distribution of grid data and products:– distributed archives, adapted to different data policies.
• Cooperate with and take advantage of other relevant initiatives providing gridded data, e.g. the EURO4M FP7 project.

• Variables: Atmospheric surface parameters: – air temperature (daily mean, min and max)– precipitation– possibly others (air pressure, snow cover, …)
• Area: Europe in its entirety.
The EUMETNET area, WMO Region VI, Europe as defined by EEA, the African Mediterranean countries and the countries of the Middle East.
• Period: The past 50-100 years with a focus on 1971 till present.

Benefits from EUMETGRID
• Best available data– High resolution– Full climate networks
• Local knowledge, continental coverage
• One access point / distributed sources
• Clearer ownership
• Added value for users– Downstream services– Coverage– Tiling
• Re-useable technology

EUMETGRID <> FP7 call for GCI
• Concept in accordance with principles GEO• Same challenges with interoperability / data sharing• Committment for sustainability and unified access• Interest in sharing knowledge and experience
• EUMETGRID is still a concept • Not as mature as TIGGE, HARON, GOOS• Allocation to SBA unclear
