Description du projet
Des prévisions météorologiques innovantes pour les villes
Les zones métropolitaines d’Europe pâtissent de plus en plus des effets du changement climatique. Les vagues de chaleur prolongées menacent la santé de la population. Le projet CityCLIM, financé par l’UE, vise à développer une plateforme cloud qui fournit un éventail de services météorologiques et climatiques conçus spécialement pour les zones métropolitaines. CityCLIM contribuera de manière significative à la fourniture de services climatiques urbains avancés sur le plan technologique qui permettront aux citoyens et aux administrations municipales de lutter contre les îlots de chaleur urbains. Afin de rendre les services météorologiques et climatiques envisagés aussi tournés vers les applications que possible, le projet sera mené en étroite collaboration avec quatre villes pilotes: Karlsruhe en Allemagne, la ville de Luxembourg, Valence en Espagne et Thessalonique en Grèce.
Objectif
The strategic objective of CityCLIM is to significantly contribute to delivering the next-generation of City Climate Services based on advanced weather forecast models enhanced with data both from existing, but insufficiently used, sources and emerging data sources, such as satellite data (e.g. Copernicus data) or data generated by Citizens Science approaches for Urban Climate Monitoring etc. For City Climate Services, data products of interest related to land surface properties, atmospheric properties (e.g. aerosol optical thickness), geometry etc. For all of those, information of interest concerns e.g. Copernicus data products and services that are already existing (e.g. based on Sentinel-3/OLCI, PROBA-V, SPOT, Sentinel-1, MetopASCAT data), will exist in the near future (based on already flying satellites such as Sentinel-2), or will exist in the mid-term (based on satellites currently under development) and long-term (based on satellites soon starting concept phase) future. The project will establish; (i) an open platform allowing for efficient building of services based on access to diverse data; (ii) enhanced weather models based on data from diverse existing and emerging sources; (iii) a set of City Climate Services customizable to specific needs of users in cities; and (iv) a generic Framework for building next generation of Urban Climate Services. CityCLIM will be driven by 4 Pilots addressing diverse climate regions in Europe (Luxembourg, Thessaloniki, Valencia, Karlsruhe) which will define requirements upon the tools to be developed, support specification and testing of the services and serve as demonstrators of the selected approaches and the developed technologies. The consortium will elaborate business plan to assure sustainability of the platform and services.
