15 4 User access / Outlook Access homepage ~141,000 hits per month ~4,600 hits per day Access subsites position 15 % climate research 16 % climate system 17 % climate past 15 % climate future 16 % climate impact 20 % 2013 no further extension maintain and update existing contents publish as a book

16 Conclusion Information aspect interpretation need: public, media, education well-founded, understandable independent scientific foundation is the basis for all reasonable decision making Data aspect accessible, processible, high quality relevant metadata, interpretability usable for regional applications engineering, agriculture, energy management, tourism, ecology etc. getting climate science across
