Integrated Approach to Assessing and Coordinating Essential Climate Variables in European Observations
This workshop in Bari, Italy, organized by CMCC, focused on coordinating observation networks for climate change research. Tasks included identifying essential variables, assessing their status, and proposing strategies for their inclusion in scientific communities. The ultimate goal was to develop observation specifications to quantify indicators for prioritization, encompassing both in-situ and satellite data.

ConnectinGEO ConnectinGEO - - WP2: WP2: Strategic goals, metrics and Strategic goals, metrics and indicators indicators Task Identify EVs Assess their status in different communities Determine how to make progress Generate scientific literature about the EVs EV are required to: - quantify the metrics for GEO SBAs - prioritize EO networks - populate the "SEE IN Knowledge Base" Task 2.2 2.2 Essential Essential Variables Variables Task 2.3 Observation specifications and requirements Develop observation specifications for all EVs that would meet the requirements to quantify the indicators defined in Task 2.1 Develop a measure to use the EVs and their relevance to the indicators for prioritization. Define how the EVs can be extracted from observations and measurement information. Task 2.3 Observation specifications and requirements
