The real-time monitoring and interpretation of geophysical data
were made accessible to the public via the internet. Both automatic
and manually checked earthquake locations were displayed on
maps, updated every five minutes. Also, cGPS time series were
mapped showing deformation in the area.

It is noticed that the matrix is in reality three-dimensional
(source, type, nature). Thus, the categories type and nature
are not mutually exclusive, and it may be argued that the ma-
trix should be modified in such a way that the two uncer

110 mm (19%) for the A2 scenario and 80 mm (14%) for
the B2 scenario. Figure 3 shows mean monthly temperature,
precipitation, and ETref for the current climate and both
climate scenarios.
