Deliverables

Documents, reports (3)

Policy attribution Briefs I

A series of policy briefs, tailored to specific audiences, communicating the attribution findings and discussing their relevance for informing policies and planning around adaptation, loss and damage, or disaster recovery.

Plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results including communication activities

Drafting of the plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results including communication activities, to ensure the coherent streamlining of the project outputs into targeted high-quality dissemination products, and their dissemination to specific target audiences.

Report on dataset on best-available methods and climate datasets

A report describing the data requirement and inventory of best-available data and methods that can be used of climate attribution studies and weather types; made available for WP4.

Data sets, microdata, etc (1)

Dataset of tropical cyclone-affected areas

Dataset with factual footprints of all historical tropical cyclones (both use cases and beyond) will be added to an online public repository.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

COMPASS website

Development and maintenance of the COMPASS website (to be maintained for 5 more years after the project ends, and used to disseminate updates on activities, deliverables, interesting news/posts, events, etc.).
