MedCOF-13 comprises 3 steps. The first one has been devoted to verification of the MedCOF-12 summer forecast; the second one to the assessment of current state of climate and, finally, the third one to the building of consensus statements. There will also be a preCOF on-line session mostly to communicate current status of projects and initiatives relevant for the MedCOF community on day 21. 

In every step, all communications have gone through the forum tool:   http://medcoforum.aemet.es.
