  1. ECA&D Maarten van der Hoeven Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) The Netherlands hoevenvd@knmi.nl 8 december 2005 Using open source GIS Mapserver in ECA&D

  2. Topics • Brief introduction of the project • Collecting data • Showing results

  3. What is ECA&D? • European Climate Assessment & Dataset • Goal: • To achieve a climatological overview of Europe on trends of extremes (A) and • An easy access to high resolution daily data and analyses (D) • Joint project of 45 participants ; 41 countries; key success factor! • Collect high quality data with daily resolution • Share knowledge, input of suggestions (questionaire) • Processing of data • Quality control procedures • Analyse data • Disseminate data • Communication by means of • Website http://eca.knmi.nl • Email eca@knmi.nl • Assessment report

  4. Participation

  5. D: Collecting data • New data (updates, elements) from participants • Facilitating ENSEMBLES project • ECA&D as a infrastructure • Adding third party data (restrictions apply) • 1571 (+1282) observing stations • 4859 (+3867) data series • 9 (+4) elements • Improving existing and developing new quality control • New climatological indices • Database: 1300 (+1000) million daily data records

  6. Growth in number of series

  7. New data; so what’s the problem? • Displaying results dynamically, but with geographical fixed dimension • More data on the same dimension: a mess • Looking for a solution: real dynamic maps • Demonstration on the development server

  8. Further information • Email: hoevenvd@knmi.nl • Project website http://eca.knmi.nl • Project email: eca@knmi.nl • Detailed project information on the website Thank you
