This application helps to identify if in a specific year, an EU Member State experienced an exceptionally cold winter or an exceptionally dry summer, in the context of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants (“the NEC Directive” or NECD). Article 5(2) of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 states that:
‘If in a given year a Member State, due to an exceptionally cold winter or an…

The application shows the latitudinal distribution of humidity in the lowest 12 kilometers of Earth's atmosphere, as well as the corresponding variability. The statistics were derived from a large number of humidity profiles retrieved from satellite-based Radio Occultation (RO) measurements.
Atmospheric humidity plays an important role in the Earth's climate system, both for its strong greenhouse effect but also for its role in the…

The application shows time series of seasonalised (with the seasonal cycles retained in the data) and de-seasonalised monthly mean anomalies of specific humidity, vertically resolved as well as averaged in vertical layers. The statistics were derived from a large number of humidity profiles retrieved from satellite-based Radio Occultation (RO) measurements.
Atmospheric humidity plays an important role in the Earth's climate system,…

The application presents global satellite soil moisture (SM) anomalies with respect to the long-term climatological (average) conditions. SM anomalies are typically used as input for the prediction of droughts, their impact on vegetation growth or the assessment of crop yield.
Satellite soil moisture data in the CDS are available from three different sensor types: the independent “Active” and “Passive” data are based on spaceborne…

This application presents analyses of surface radiation budget variables
from the Cloud_CCI product family. Surface radiation variables are indicative
of atmospheric warming globally or in specific regions, and can be used to
determine heat flow on an international scale.
The Cloud_CCI product family refers to the ESA Cloud_cci version 3.0 surface
radiation data record. This record uses 17 years (1995-2012) of…

The application enables the visualisation of soil erosion indicators, soil loss and rainfall erosivity (R factor), for Italy. These indicators combine land-based soil susceptibility variables with rainfall time series from:
the ERA5-Land climate reanalysis (for the 30-year reference period 1981-2010);
an ensemble of bias-corrected EURO-CORDEX simulations for near future (2021-2050) and far future (2051-2080) 30-year…
Published:
The application provides a tool for end-users to explore how land use - related to vegetation cover, management and soil erosion protection practices - can impact soil loss under different climate scenarios. Rainfall-induced soil erosion is important as it is a cross-sectoral issue affecting many rural areas in Italy and causes significant physical damage to land and high economic costs.
The soil loss indicator is obtained by…
Published:
This application presents fire danger indicators for Europe, based on the Canadian Fire Weather Index System (FWI) fire danger model. This model is used by the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) standard and provides a numerical, non-dimensional rating of fire potential based exclusively on meteorological conditions favourable to the start, spread and sustainability of fires.
This application presents the FWI rating for…
Published:
This application presents comparisons between past and future snow conditions relevant to the tourism industry. Based on the Mountain tourism meteorological and snow indicators (MTMSI) C3S dataset, the application enables the exploration of 39 indicators characterising meteorological conditions in the mountain regions of Europe by elevation, and on the scale of NUTS level 3 regions.
The application explores tourism indicators from the…
Published:
The application presents the average of daily maximum,
average and minimum values of the Universal Thermal
Climate Index (UTCI) for any given month and location, in the
period from 1979 to 2020.
The UTCI is calculated from the combination of air
temperature, humidity, ventilation and radiation. By applying
a set of values of those variables, to human heat balance
models, the index provides what would be the…

Estimates of Arctic liquid Freshwater Content (FWC in meters) are obtained from integrated differences of the measured salinity and a reference salinity (set to 34.8) from the surface to the bottom per unit area in the Arctic region with a water depth greater than 500m as function of salinity (S), the vertical cell thickness of the dataset (dz) and the salinity reference (Sref). Waters saltier than the 34.8 reference…

Sea Ice Extent (SIE) is defined as the area covered by sufficient sea ice, that is the area of ocean having more than 15% Sea Ice Concentration (SIC). SIC is the fractional area of ocean that is covered with sea ice. It is computed from Passive Microwave satellite observations since 1979.
SIE is often reported with units of 106 km2 (millions square kilometers). The change in sea ice extent (trend) is expressed in…

For the European Arctic Sea - A sea ice concentration product based on SAR data and microwave radiometer. The algorithm uses SENTINEL-1 SAR EW mode dual-polarized HH/HV data combined with AMSR2 radiometer data. A sea ice type product covering the same area is produced from SENTINEL-1 SAR EW mode dual-polarized HH/HV data.

For the Arctic Ocean - The operational sea ice services at MET Norway and DMI provides ice charts of the Arctic area covering Baffin Bay, Greenland Sea, Fram Strait and Barents Sea. The charts show the ice concentration in WMO defined concentration intervals. The three different types of ice charts (datasets) are produced from twice to several times a week: MET charts are produced every weekday. DMI regional…
