Sharing Awareness and Governance of Adaptation to Climate Change in Spain (LIFE SHARA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Feb 28, 2021,

Background Spain is highly vulnerable to climate change. It was one of the first countries in Europe to address the challenge of climate change adaptation, approving a National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PNACC) in 2006. PNACC has been developed to align itself closely with the main instruments and elements adopted at European level, in particular t ...

Predictable Flexible Molten Salts Solar Power Plant (PreFlexMS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,

Predictability and flexibility are key enablers to increase CSP penetration in the energy mix by a) increasing dispatchability b) making CSP less/not reliant on subsidies c) supporting stable grid operation d) enabling operators to access new revenue streams (electricity trading, ancillary services). Today CSP plants with molten salt storage only partly achieve these objectives. Key enabling techn ...

Meteorological Uncertainty Management for Trajectory Based Operations (TBO-MET)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2018,

In this project the problem of analysing and quantifying the effects of meteorological uncertainty in Trajectory Based Operations is addressed. In particular, two problems are considered: 1) trajectory planning and 2) sector demand analysis, both at the pre-tactical level (up to three hours before departure) and tactical level (during the flight).In each problem two types of meteorological uncerta ...

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 ...

Multi-platform remote sensing of isotopologues for investigating the cycle of atmospheric water (MUSICA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

MUSICA aims to understand the atmospheric water cycle and its interplay with climate change applying unique long-term high quality and global remote sensing observations of tropospheric stable water vapour isotopologues. It is well established that water in its various forms plays a dominant role in nearly all aspects of the Earth s climate system. Understanding the full cycle of evaporation, clou ...

CUSTOMIZED ADVANCED GIS ADVISORY TOOLS FOR THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF EXTENSIVE CROPS (sigAGROasesor)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Background A major challenge for farmers and farm managers is to produce crop in a more efficient and sustainable way. Pressure on the land is increasing with the growing demand for food, but at the same time, key resources, notably water, are becoming increasingly scarce, and there are also important economic and environmental pressures to reduce the use ...

MyWave: A pan-European concerted and integrated approach to operational wave modelling and forecasting – a complement to GMES MyOcean services (MyWave)

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

The main goal of MyWave is to lay the foundation for a future Marine Core Service that includes ocean waves. The proposal has identified four target areas where concerted research is needed to establish a high quality GMES Marine Core Service for ocean waves:1. increase the use of earth observations by improving data processing algorithms and data assimilation systems,2. improve the physics in cur ...

Sistema Transfronterizo de Información para la Prevención en los Pirineos (STIPP)

Start date: Jun 30, 2009, End date: Mar 30, 2013,

Aunque la montaña ofrezca encantos y ventajas, no deja de ser peligrosa. Sin embargo, los riesgos conocidos (relativos al suelo, a riesgos corporales o fenómenos climáticos) pueden anticiparse o verse atenuados con una observación más precisa del suelo (teléfono por satélite, localización de las observaciones) o una asistencia médica optimizada en los refugios. Esta prevención de riesgos es el obj ...
