The period of record used to compute individual indexes should extend as far back as reliable instrumental records permit. The averaging period will vary among impact-related problems as will the spatial scale of climate information included in the indicators. Furthermore, the indicators may require transformation from raw climate data to an amalgamation of climate and climate-related measures. The involvement of climate in the determination of the demand for energy and the quantity and quality of renewable natural resources. Each class demands a slightly different set of leading indicators, though there is considerable overlap of necessary climate information between classes.
