D3.1 Preliminary report on the skill assessment and comparison of state‐of-the-art methods for forecasts and projections of extremes

This document focuses mainly on the skill assessment of state‐of‐the‐art predictions of hydro‐meteorologicalvariables relevant for the I‐CISK LLs, and consequently sets the benchmark for quantifying the added valuefrom other scientific methods explored within I‐CISK. The skill assessment is very important for the CSproduced during the project; the usefulness of these CS and trustfulness of their users highly depends on thereliability of the predictions on which these CS are based.
