This themed overview critically evaluates the suite of projects within the ELOISE cluster from the perspective of their importance for climate change science. As in many areas, the issue is often not one of generating data, nor even necessarily of accumulating more information (processed data). The aim is to add to knowledge – appraising the information that is already available, testing it against today’s context, and learning from it.
