7. European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring Reference historical databases: 1)in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D) 2)satellite CDRs (CM-SAF) 3)regional reanalysis of past weather (new!)

8. European Reanalysis and Observations for Monitoring Reference historical databases: 1)in-situ observations (CRU, GPCC, ECA&D) long-term records but sparse 2)satellite CDRs (CM-SAF) spatially extensive but short 3)regional reanalysis of past weather (new!) complete but expensive and some bias
