level, surveys commissioned by the European Com-
munity/the European Union provide an indication of trends in concern about cli-
mate change. Since 1992, such surveys have been undertaken among representative
samples of citizens in its Member States, and specifically on topics related to the
environment (Special Eurobarometers (EB) in 1992, 1995, 2002; and a Flash EB
in 2002). These have included

ICESat-2 will carry the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) and collect
data to a latitudinal limit of 88 degrees. In contrast to Geoscience Laser Altimeter System
(GLAS) on ICESat, ATLAS employs a 6-beam micro-pulse laser photon-counting approach.
It uses a high repetition rate (10 kHz; 70 cm

A calibrated approach (standardized questionnaires and
interviews, expert judgment, and reinterpretation of out-

selected case-studies.
Adaptive and integrated water management
Given the expected increase of climate-related extreme

To distinguish between rain and snow, the volume is com-
pared to the water equivalent but the volume of snow is ten times larger.

Using the information about the changes of the backscatter signal, water equivalent and temper-
ature the Vaisala Present Weather Detector can give information about the type of precipitation.

plexity of the hydrological processes through modelling, but its application is usually limited to
the short-range. Although the results demonstrated a great potential for this method, its success-
ful application in real-time will strongly depend on the quality and availability of streamflow
observations, which can be poor or simply missing during periods of variable durations, e.g
