Global climate change has different regional impacts; its effects are already noticeable today. Mankind will need to adapt to those future changes. To investigate possible regional climate changes in Europe in the 21. Century and to develop adaption strategies, regional climate simulations are performed. The Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) is involved in the development of various models and methods to provide local climate change information. The simulated model results are stored at the DKRZ and can be downloaded from there through the ESGF (esgf-data.dkrz.de). DKRZ and GERICS have jointly produced animated visualizations showing the projected key changes in temperature and precipitation for Europe during the 21. Century.
π Imagine a platform through which people all over the world can access and interact with climate data and draw conclusions for their own individual contexts.
This is exactly what #EVE is trying to build. In connection with different #ClimateModels developed by #CORDEX, this platform could become an important tool to drive #Decision-Making to reduce the negative effects that #ClimateChange will have on our younger generations π«

A new generation of Earth Visualisation Engines (#EVE) is in the making and promises to play a vital role in addressing the challenges posed by #climatechange.
Our latest blog post sumarizes a talk given by Daniela Jacob, Director of the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), about the potential of a partnership between EVE and #CORDEX, the Coordinated Regional Climte Downscaling Experiment.
Watch this space! π

@ingalls @RagnarHeidar output from Harmonie-Arome is a thing of beauty - but it's also nothing like as easy to run as WRF! OTOH it's faster thanks to the dynamical core...
I use the #climate version though, not NWP (when my inbox permits.. π), currently trying to get a nested version to run over West #antarctica for katabatic winds, which is fun, and we have ALADIN physics for the mesoscale over the polar regions as part of #CORDEX.
"our results indicate increased potential of the #Arctic for the development and production of wind energy..."
More interesting science has come out of our group this week: Unfortunately paywalled and #Elsevier - but this link should be free for 50 days (will find a solution for after that).
