The wine industry is one of the agri-food sectors most highly influenced by climate variability and change at different timescales. In particular, the integration of reliable and timely sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) climate information in decision-making might help the wine sector to better manage climate-related risks. This explains the recent interest of the wine industry...

Sub-seasonal to decadal climate forecasting to adapt to climate variability (RESILIENCE)

Climate change (CC) poses numerous risks to society. Amongst these, recent work has quantified the impacts which adverse climate conditions can exert on economic growth and inflation by applying empirical models (EMs) to historical data. Evaluation of the extent to which historical and future CC is changing such impacts is crucial for translating these empirical insights into...

This contract is the result of the response to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) DE_393: Development and Implementation of Climate Emulator for Destination Earth (DestinE) which has been issued by ECMWF.

Launched in 2022, Destination Earth (DestinE) is a European Union-funded initiative aimed at building a highly accurate digital replica of the Earth system by 2030. This digital...

During the last decades, the wind energy produced in Europe has reached up to 11% and is expected to keep growing, reducing the CO2 yearly produced and the usage of non-renewable energy. One crucial factor for wind energy to reach this relevance is the improvement ofsimulation tools in the early stages of the wind farm design. Simulation has allowed the enhancement of the...

The expected growth of both on and offshore wind energy is enormous and many new wind parks are planned for the coming years. Experience from the existing wind farms shows the importance of a proper micrositing of the wind turbines as well their efficient interconnection within the farm. In addition, bringing wind farms together into clusters toward a wind power plant concept...

The European Union's flagship Space programme Copernicus provides a key service to the European society, turning investments inspace-infrastructure into high-quality information products.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS, https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu) exploits the information content of Earth-Observation data to monitor the...

Natural hazards, such as extreme weather events, are exacerbated by climate change. As a result, emergency responses are becoming more protracted, expensive, frequent, and stretching limited available resources. This is especially apparent in rapidly warming regions. MedEWSa addresses these challenges by providing novel solutions to ensure timely, precise, and actionable...

Interacting and successive extreme climatic events, such as droughts and floods, can trigger outbreaks of multiple infectious diseases. These compound hazards can devastate communities if risk reduction plans are not implemented to protect vulnerable populations. Recent methodological advances in climate-sensitive disease modelling have allowed the quantification of the combined impact of...

The Copernicus Climate Change Service Evolution (CERISE) project aims to enhance the quality of the C3S reanalysis and seasonal forecast portfolio with a focus on land-atmosphere coupling. It will support the evolution of C3S by improving the C3S climate reanalysis and seasonal prediction systems and products towards enhanced integrity and coherence of the C3S Earth system...
