In this document we will focus on data evaluation over the historical period only. Future projection evaluation will be the subject of D3.3.1 “Detailed quantification of climate change signal in the region of interest with special emphasis on severe impacting events” due at month 24. High resolution (12.5km X 12.5km for each simulated grid cell) meteorological fields (temperature, wind, precipitation among others) have been made available in a common format over the domain defined within ADRIADAPT. Based on these fields, a series of extreme events indicators at the daily time scale have been identified in D3.1.1 “Definition of a set of climate change indicators for stakeholders“ and part of these indicators are described in this document and compared to observational data sets. A complete description of the parameters identified by ADRIADAPT stakeholders - within the list of parameters suggested in D3.1.1 – will be the subject of D3.2.2 document due at month 18. A set of four Regional Climate Models (RCMs) participating to the EURO CORDEX project on the EUR-11 grid is used.
