The main goal of the project was to improve the climate database in the Carpathian Mountains region for further regional studies such as drought monitoring. Thus, CARPATCLIM was the first international project which aimed to harmonize climate databases from different countries, the area of interest being represented by the Carpathian Mountains chain (including the Transylvanian Depression), which included parts from the following countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic , Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Moldova, Croatia, Poland, Serbia, Ukraine. The project aimed at improving the access to climate information for the region of interest, as well as the spatialization of information by harmonizing the databases between the participating countries.
