Project description
Delivering key research infrastructure for climate modelling
Bringing together 22 European climate research institutions, the EU-funded IS-ENES3 project will boost understanding of past and present-day climate. It will project future variability and changes through the development and sharing of model components, modelling tools and data infrastructure. By fostering collaboration amongst modelling groups, the project will speed up the development and use of models of the Earth’s complex climate system. Networking will grow the user base, increase the cohesion of the climate modelling community, promote innovation and prepare for a sustainable infrastructure in support of climate modelling. The project will also deliver common strategies for research infrastructure. Further, it will deliver the European part of the Earth System Grid Federation.
Objective
IS-ENES3 will deliver the third phase of the distributed e-infrastructure of the European Network for Earth System Modelling (ENES). IS-ENES3 will be initiated as the European climate modelling community faces the challenges of contributing to the next assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change through the 6th phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. IS-ENES3 will address these challenges by developing, documenting and deploying new and advanced models and tools, standards and services to deal with unprecedented data volumes and model complexity.
IS-ENES3 will stimulate collaboration, disseminate software and data, and further integrate the European climate science community. IS-ENES3 will support climate research, climate impact science, and the climate services industry. It will bring down barriers of access, and expand the community who can exploit the data and knowledge produced by state-of-the-art climate models. In doing so, it will find innovative ways of working with the Copernicus programme, other parts of the European data infrastructure, and with the high performance computing and data analytics industries.
IS-ENES3 will be delivered by partners combining expertise in climate modelling, computational science, data management, climate impacts and climate services, with proven ability to increase the influence of European science internationally. It will deliver the European part of the Earth System Grid Federation and a central point of entry to services providing access to new data, software, models and tools. Joint research will support a new community sea ice model, promote efficient use of high-performance computing, improve the European common model evaluation framework, and develop and enhance services on data. Networking will grow the user base, increase the cohesion of the climate modelling community, promote innovation and prepare for a long term sustainable infrastructure in support of climate modelling.
