Copernicus Service catalogue

This application delivers an interactive version of the monthly C3S Climate bulletin.
It allows users to explore the dataset on the aggregated regions - the globe, Europe and Europe's macro-regions -
that are covered in the bulletin and on individual European countries.
It presents a global map showing one out of temperature, precipitation, humidity and soil moisture anomalies with
respect to a selectable 30-year reference period, averaged over user-selectable periods.
When clicking on one of the highlighted regions, time-series of the anomalies of all mentioned variables averaged over the selected
region are shown.

The maps and graphs generated are based on the
Essential Climate Variables for assessment of climate variability from 1979 to present dataset.

List of user-selectable parameters

• Reference period: "1981 - 2010" or "1991 - 2020"
• Time aggregation: one out of "Month", "Season" and "12 months", which define the averaging period of the anomalies
• Year: 1979 to present; the list of available options is updated annually
• Month/Season: this drop-down menu changes depending on the choice in the Time aggregation menu; if Month
  (Season), then it shows from January (Spring) to the last available month (season) in the selected Year; the list of available options is updated monthly
• Regions: one between "Macro-regions" and "Countries (NUTS level 0)"

Description of the graphical output

The application presents a map of the globe with average anomalies of the variable selected in the top-right corner
radio-buttons menu, displayed for the chosen year and month/season.

On the map, selectable regions are highlighted by thicker borders:
clicking on one of those, a sidebar pops up showing time-series of the average anomalies aggregated on the selected
region. Here, the "Show only selected period" box can be checked to show only the selected month/season in the
time-series.

The layer of selectable regions can be changed through the "Regions" dropdown menu. If "Macro-regions" is selected,
zooming out the selectable regions "Europe" and "Globe" are shown.
