Solutions for Sustainable Access to Atmospheric Research Facilities

Project description

Sustainable access to distributed research infrastructures for climate change research

EU funding has enabled the ATMO-ACCESS project to develop a new framework for providing access to distributed atmospheric research infrastructures (RIs). Specifically, the project will deliver a series of recommendations for establishing a comprehensive and sustainable framework for integrated and optimised access to the services atmospheric RIs provide. It is the organised response of distributed atmospheric research facilities for developing a pilot for a new model of integrating activities. The project will assist in the creation of a durable, sustainable framework that allows easy access to different atmospheric RIs via virtual tools and cloud services.

Objective

ATMO-ACCESS is the organized response of distributed atmospheric research facilities for developing a pilot for a new model of Integrating Activities. The project will deliver a series of recommendations for establishing a comprehensive and sustainable framework for access to distributed atmospheric Research Infrastructures (RI), ensuring integrated access to and optimised use of the services they provide. ATMO-ACCESS mobilizes extensive resources in the atmospheric RIs communities to engage into harmonizing access procedures in relation to policies, financial regulations and conditions for access. It will develop and test innovative modalities of access to facilities and complementary and more advanced services, including digital services, developed as part of cross-RI efforts. ATMO-ACCESS will open physical and remote access to 43 operational European atmospheric research facilities, including ground-based observation stations, simulation chambers, but also mobile facilities and central laboratories that are fundamental elements in distributed RIs. Innovative cross-RI cloud services, addressing the management of data produced via access and the use of new, integrated data products, but also virtual tools for training, are offered through virtual access to RI data centres. All work in ATMO-ACCESS integrates experiences from past access programs, thus, synergistically streamlining the work and avoiding duplication of efforts. ATMO-ACCESS will continuously engage with users and with national and international stakeholders to propose optimal conditions for a coherent and effective framework of access that has been sufficiently tested and is supported by the relevant user and stakeholder groups to establish and ensure the long-term sustainability of access with the European RI landscape.
