Seasonal-to-decadal climate Prediction for the improvement of European Climate Services (SPECS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) sponsored the Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) where the need for actionable climate information for periods from several months up to several years for economic, industrial and political planning has been expressed. However, progress in seasonal forecasting has been slow and decadal forecasting is still incipient. At the same time, new model ...

EUropean Provision Of Regional Impact Assessment on a Seasonal-to-decadal timescale (EUPORIAS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Recent advances in our understanding and forecasting of climate and climate change have brought us to the point where skilful and useful predictions are being made. These forecasts hold the potential for being of great value for a wide range of decision-makers who are affected by the vagaries of the climate and who would benefit from understanding and better managing climate-related risks. Howeve ...

Smart and Sustainable Insular Electricity Grids Under Large-Scale Renewable Integration (SINGULAR)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

A large share of the recent renewable energy sources (RES) installed capacity has already taken place in insular electricity grids, since these regions are preferable due to their high RES potential. However, the increasing share of RES in the generation mix of insular power systems presents a big challenge in the efficient management of the insular distribution networks, mainly due to the limited ...

Quantifying projected impacts under 2°C warming (IMPACT2C)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Political discussions on the European goal to limit global warming to 2°C demands that discussions are informed by the best available science on projected impacts and possible benefits. IMPACT2C enhances knowledge, quantifies climate change impacts, and adopts a clear and logical structure, with climate and impacts modelling, vulnerabilities, risks and economic costs, as well as potential respons ...

Cybersecurity on SCADA: risk prediction, analysis and reaction tools for Critical Infrastructures (CockpitCI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The protection of the national infrastructures is one of the main issues for national and international security. While FP7 MICIE project has proved that increasing cooperation among infrastructures increases their level of service and predictive capability, it is not enough to effectively counteract threats such as cyber attacks. Such attacks could be performed blocking communication from central ...

Performance and usefulness of CLImate predictions: Beyond current liMITationS (CLIMITS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

"Over the past 25 years, the modeling community achieved steady progress in dynamical climate predictions, with skill level that is now considered useful for some societal applications at the seasonal time-scale. However, major factors such as coupled models errors, initialization strategies and unconstrained physical parameterizations are still substantially limiting predictability, particularly ...

Supporting Energy Efficiency in Smart Generation Grids through ICT (SEESGEN-ICT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,

Designing ICT for managing the smart grids with integrated microgrids is a challenge that cannot be won by a single utility, industry or country. It requires collaboration of all Stakeholders, in an interdisciplinary approach that brings together experiences from the different countries with their different situations and from different viewpoints, in order to contribute to a scalable system that ...
