+    "Before utilizing the module that converts Copernicus forecast data into a hazard object for CLIMADA, it is crucial to define specific parameters accurately. These parameters are essential because they dictate the type of data retrieved, its format, the period, and the geographic focus of the forecast data that will be transformed into a hazard model. Correct configuration of these parameters ensures that the data aligns well with the requirements for hazard modeling in CLIMADA, facilitating effective risk assessment and management. To learn more about what these parameters entail and their significance, please refer to the [documentation on the CDS webpage](https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/seasonal-original-single-levels?tab=overview).\n",

+    "- **Index Calculation**: The method processes seasonal forecast data to compute relevant climate indices for the selected years, months, and regions. These indices represent specific climate conditions, such as the number of Tropical Nights ('TR') over the forecast period, as defined in the parameters.\n",
+    "\n",
+    "- **Data Storage**: The calculated index data is saved in **netCDF** format, which is widely used for storing multi-dimensional scientific data. These files are automatically saved in directories specific to the index and time period. The file paths are printed below the processing steps. For example, the computed index values are stored in:  \n",

+    "Once the hazard object has been successfully calculated, the last element created is printed for visualization. This is important for several reasons:\n",
+    "\n",
+    "- **Initial Data Inspection**: The visualization allows you to view a slice of the forecast data, providing a quick check of the results. This initial glimpse helps you verify that the data processing was successful and provides insights into the distribution of the hazard (in this case, Tropical Nights) across the area of interest.\n",
+    "\n",
+    "- **Geographic Accuracy**: The map helps you verify if the correct geographic region was processed and plotted. This is particularly useful as it allows immediate feedback on whether the user-defined boundaries or selected areas (e.g., Germany and Switzerland) were captured correctly.\n",
+    "\n",
+    "- **Data Quality Check**: Visualizing the output also serves as a preliminary quality check, allowing you to detect any unexpected results or anomalies in the data. For instance, the color bar indicating the \"Intensity (days)\" gives an indication of how the hazard index is distributed across the mapped area.\n",
