Generate climate indicators for your biodiversity application with the Copernicus Climate Data Store
Convener: Hendrik Wouters | Co-convener: Julie Berckmans
Tue, 05 May, 10:45–12:30 (CEST)

As part of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), we deliver past and future climate indicators that are relevant for the biodiversity sector worldwide. These indicators are available up to 1 km resolution, based on ERA5, CMIP5 and downscaling techniques. The data will be available through the Climate Data Store of C3S and can be generated and visualised by the Toolbox from C3S. Soon, a prototype of the service will be available. An important aspect of the service is user engagement, which is facilitated through regional workshops and other activities where requirements for the service were gathered. Our aim is to target as many potential users as possible to gather feedback for improving the service. During this splinter meeting, we would make users familiar with our data and applications on the Climate Data Store by providing hands-on exercises. Ultimately, we will gather feedback from the attendees and improve our service in order to meet better the requirements of the users active in the biodiversity sector.
