research, etc.)
o What are the expected main climate change effects for this case?
2. Uncertainty

the groups to describe the
different steps or actions in such a planning process and describe which tools should be used within their topic (see below) and how they should be used.
The different aspects of adaptive management are distributed among the groups, so that they collectively cover the entire adaptive management procedure.
Each of the groups study one of the aspects of adaptive management

o How are you representing and explaining uncertain knowledge to stakeholders?
3. Prepare a stakeholder involvement plan
o How do you achieve a common understanding among stakeholders?
o What are the overall objectives and principles of the stakeholder involvement?
Overall objective: Support decision making

Weather elements
What is weather? To describe the weather, elements are measured and evaluated such as:
Air temperature
Water vapour
Air pressure
All types of precipitation
Wind
Fog
Mist
Visibility
Cloud cover
Thunder and lighting
Types of measurement stations and equipment
Nowadays, automatically operating weather stations are in common use. Such stations can

modeling resolution are manifested in large-scale slowly
evolving climate (weather) anomalies that can be utilized to feed different impact models for
more practical assessment. For analysis purposes the climate extremes can be expressed in terms
of indicators (indices) that can describe an observed (simulated) variable (e.g. temperature,
precipitation) behavior at the tails of its statistical

and right arrows on your keyboard can also be used for navigation.
The maps contain weather symbols that describe temperature, wind speed and wind direction.
The orange point on the maps shows the location of the area.
If the cursor is placed over a location, then the name of that place appears, along with the text forecast and further information about precipitation.

It is important to describe the surface, and its properties, as well as possible. To do this SURFEX uses elevation data (from the GTOPO3 database of USGS), data on sand- and clay fraction in soil (from the HWSD database of FAO) and data on land surface parameters (from the ECOCLIMAP-II).

Avalanche problems
The five typical avalanche problems as defined by the European Avalanche Warning Services EAWS aim to describe typical situations as they occur in avalanche terrain and to support avalanche professionals and recreationists
