Report on findings from workshop with S2D climate prediction developers. Summary

This workshop took place at the joint day between the EUPORIAS and SPECS general assemblies last October in Toulouse, France. The aim of the workshop was to engage directly with the scientific community developing the new generation of seasonal to decadal (S2D) climate prediction models to assess whether identified current and potential user needs can be fulfilled with available services or further research. A total of 20 participants attended the workshop and discussed specific user needs of S2D predictions in Europe. The eight examples selected represented different sectors, countries, and types of organisations in Europe as well as different types of information needs (e.g. seasonal or decadal, different weather parameters). The full report Is attached below.
