EUMETSAT Climate Monitoring Activities: How & Who
Climate Monitoring Implementation Plan Prioritised Secretariat’s activities
Dependence on external funding e.g. From European Union Satellite Application Facility (SAF) on Climate Monitoring &
contributions from other SAFs SAF federated activities, reprocessing coordination
Activities embedded in/articulated with cooperative projects WMO GSICS and SCOPE-CM projects EU FP-7 Projects: CORE-CLIMAX, ERACLIM 1/2, QA4ECV, ESA CCI
CEOS-CGMS Working Group Climate), 5-7 March 2014, Darmstadt, Germany
Scope of EUMETSAT Climate Monitoring Activities
Re-calibration and cross calibration of historical data (GSICS, SCOPE-CM)
Production of Fundamental Climate Data Records; Production of Thematic Climate Data Records (QA4ECV); Delivery to users/projects with documentation, support to
scientific validation; Support to international projects (ERA-CLIM 1/2, SCOPE-CM) Development of methods for maturity/quality/capacity
assessment (CORE-CLIMAX, QA4ECV) International coordination: WMO, architecture, CEOS-CGMS
