Seasonal Forecasts are critical tools for early-warning decision support systems, that can help reduce the related risk associated with hot or cold weather and other events that can strongly affect a multitude of socio-economic sectors. Recent advances in both statistical approaches and numerical modeling have improved the skill of Seasonal Forecasts. However, especially in...
ArcticXchange will apply a transdisciplinary framework for knowledge co-production with the long-term objective to develop a climate service addressed to reindeer herders. During the project, we will co-develop a case study for reindeer husbandry in Lapland, understood as a proof-of-concept of the added value of climate services for this community. Different steps for the...
The Atmospheric Composition group (AC) of the Earth Sciences department of the Barcelona SupercomputingCenter(BSC) aims at better...
CAMS provides daily analysis and forecasts, as well asreanalysis products. CAMS has a global service, implemented by ECMWF, and a regional air qualityservice implemented by the CAMS2_40 consortium. The CAMS2_82 ITT is asking for a detailed aposteriori evaluation of the global service components and products for the period 2021-2025.The contract below is the response to this...
Pollution is one of the most significant environmental problems in modern cities, leading to disturbing odour episodes and low-air quality conditions that can be detrimental to public health. Its impact is increasing given the continuous city growth (79 % of the population worldwide live in urban areas) and the effects of climate change. Nowadays, half the cities in...
The goal of this project is to extend the temporal coverage of the CAMS-REG_ERF-COVID19 dataset developed under the CAMS_COP066 contract, from 01/08/2020 to 31/12/2020, and to include the effect of the second wave and the associated new round of lockdowns across the different European countries during the year 2020. The extension of the dataset will allow to estimate the...
A climate resilient society requires reliable monitoring and forecasting information of the climate trends, patterns anddisturbances, both at global and regional scales. Through CONsistent representation of temporal variations of boundary Forcings in reanalysES and Seasonal forecasts, CONFESS will contribute to the emerging societal need for an enhanced Copernicus Climate...
The objective of this research activity is to create a reliable computing node that will create a Cognitive Edge under industry standards. This computing node will be the building block of scalable Internet of Things (from Low Computing to High Computing Edge Nodes). The cognitive skill will be given by an internal and external architecture that allows to forecast its...

The central objective of FOCUS-Africa is to develop sustainable tailored climate services in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region for four sectors:
- agriculture and food security
- water
- energy
- infrastructure
The proposed co-production amongst end-users, climate scientists and sectoral service providers will ensure...
