Description
Summary:Presentación realizada en: EMS Annual Meeting (2021) celebrado de forma virtual del 3 al 10 de septiembre de 2021. In this paper we present the upgrade of a web tool designed to help in the decision making process for water reservoirs management in Spain. The tool, called S-ClimWaRe (Seasonal Climate predictions in support of Water Reservoirs management) is organized in two main displaying panels. The first one -diagnostic panel- allows the user to explore, for any water reservoir or grid point over continental Spain, the existing hydrological variability and risk linked to climate variability. The second one -forecasting panel- provides probabilistic seasonal predictions for some variables of interest. Following users’ need the tool initially covers the extended winter season (from November to March), when the North Atlantic Oscillation pattern strongly influences the hydrological interannual variability in South-Western Europe. This climate service is fully user driven with a strong commitment of users and stakeholders that has allowed continuous improvement of this tool, meeting users requirements and incorporating latest scientific progress.
