7 Milestones Actions GCOS / WMO / / EUMETSAT CM-SAF / DWD / ICEED / 2005, 2006 Darmstadt, Zagreb and Ljubljana several meetings EUMETSAT / / CM-SAF EUMETSAT has acknowledged GCOS/Croatia Project Proposal as a part of the EUMETSAT Educational and Training Programme Joint effort EUMETSAT, and CM-SAF The venue in Zagreb,, Croatia at the Institute "Hrvoje" Požar"

8 Milestones Actions GCOS / WMO / / EUMETSAT CM-SAF / DWD / ICEED / May 2006,, Dubrovnik, Croatia 6th ICEED Meeting Attributed Workshop as significant landmark in establishing Sub-regional GCOS / EUMETSAT Training Center Usage of Satellite Data in Climate Monitoring South-East Europe

12 Performance RA VI (Europe) - participants from 21 countries Natasa Strelec, presented the EUMETRAIN expressed the possibility new EUMETRAIN Module on Climate Monitoring build up on the CM-SAF products Each country representative has presented their NMHS climate monitoring perspectives

13 Performance Ivan Čačić cirus. dhz.hr

14 Performance Training Five-Day Programme Topics Introduction to the satellite systems Satellite data formats Climate applications

15 The Workshop noted Recomendations need for quality control and verification of surface observations on a daily basis such as temperature, solar radiation, precipitation and wind parameters derived from merged synoptic and satellite observations have additional value

16 Recomendations The Workshop recommends CM-SAF products should include more than mean values, such as standard deviations, frequencies, extremes and uncertainties CM-SAF should provide guidance on the use of existing and new products,, such as indicators for heat waves, frost damage, solar power, evaporation and drought

17 Recomendations The Workshop encourages CM-SAF to widen the distribution of information on its products issue a Newsletter to advertise new climate-related products and software tools for their visualization

18 Recomendations The Workshop encourages CM-SAF to establish Internet Forum on Climate matters Helpdesk to reflect evolving user requirements Virtual Focus Group to comprise climate product experts who will mainly communicate via Virtual Forum

19 Recomendations The Workshop encourages WMO to provide a catalogue of existing and potential products from all operational meteorological and environmental satellites EUMETSAT, CM-SAF and EUMeTrain to develop resources to enhance the effectiveness of training promote distance learning

20 Perspectives EUMETSAT continues to organize and support training events at two levels for beginners, similar in character to the first workshop held in Zagreb for more advanced users second Workshop planned in Zagreb / Dubrovnik for 2007

21 During the Workshop EUMETSAT has been officially notified by the Depositary of the EUMETSAT Convention that Croatian Parliment has ratified the accession agreement

22 During the Workshop Croatia officially has joined EUMETSAT as the 20 th full Member State Ivan Čačić cirus. dhz.hr
