Climate support of the biological investigation in the Carpathian Region Szalai Sándor1, Bihari Zita2, Lakatos Mónika2, Pavol Nejedlik3, Szentimrey Tamás2 ‘institute of Environmental Science, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Szent István University, H-2103 Gödöllő, Páter Károly u. 1.

The meteorological data owners, the national meteorological services do not support fully the free and unrestricted data access in the region, mostly because of financial reasons. Furthermore, ten countries are present in a relative small area of the Greater Carpathian Region with the territory of about Spain. Ten countries mean ten meteorological services, ten different observation networks and ten different data management practices. Therefore, either the harmonisation of the national databases would be beneficial, or a regional database should be established. There is no financial background to change the national databases, and the data policies are serious obstacles of a common observational database. Observed data have special importance, because the alternatively and frequently used climate model results could not describe the temporal and spatial variability of the most of meteorological variables. Sometimes even the measured and projected tendencies are contradictory. The European Parliament supported CARPATCLIM project planned to solve this situation aiming the establishment of a common, high resolution gridded database created by the same data management methods and even using the same software. The freely available and downloadable database contains the daily values of 18 meteorological variables for 50 years (1961-2010). The participants of the project were mostly the meteorological services, and the work was done country by country assuming to have access to all existing data on this way. The international consistency was succeeded by near border data exchange. The Climate Atlas of the region was calculated also. Many indices used in the natural and applied sciences were produced and maps drawn. These data describe much better the mosaic structure of different meteorological fields than any other databases before.
