12. Euporias kick-off, Barcelona, 6-8 November 201212 Contribution to EUPORIAS WP 4.2 Climate services prototypes

13. Designing user-oriented bulletins for specific sectors with an interpretation of s2d predictions and uncertainties, including links to the historical and current data and trends. (Builds on the EURO4M Climate Indicator Bulletins that are based on historical data) Depends on selected prototypes and predictive skill of indices Bulletins
