The following technical documentation describe the generation and validation of the Climate Research Data Package for the Lakes ECV: Phase 1 (CRDP V2.0) and Phase 2 (CRDP V2.1).

Additional documentation is available for specific thematic studies: Fire describing observability of wildfire impacts on lakes; Danube a case study on the climate data record for the Razelm-Sinoe lagoon; Ice Thickness detailing the intended technical approach to retrieve Lake Ice Thickness; Consistency detailing methods developed to determine inter-product consistency; Storage detailing methods developed to determine Lake Storage Change; CDOM detailing methods to determine the concentration of coloured dissolved matter
