Climate Atlas of Europe (Météo-France) The project CLIMATE ATLAS OF EUROPE led by Météo-France is established for a duration of three years, starting on 1 January 2001.
The atlas will contain monthly normals of temperature, precipitation, wind and sunshine duration and additional statistical information for these parameters and for the occurrence of phenomena such as fog, thunderstorm, hail and snow. The computation period will be 1971-2000.
The Atlas will be implemented as a CD-ROM database with visualization tools and explanatory guidelines. A version for Web access will also be developed. This information will not be submitted to any condition or restriction as concerns distribution and use. In a first step the Atlas will be made available without maps. Maps can be added at a later stage.
