Earth system Model Bias Reduction and assessing Abrupt Climate change (EMBRACE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
EMBRACE brings together the leading Earth System Models (ESMs) in Europe around a common set of objectives to improve our ability to (i) simulate the Earth System and (ii) make reliable projections of future global change. EMBRACE builds on the existing European collaboration network in Earth System Modelling and will be the main European input to international efforts in this field over the comin ...

HIgh speed Key technologies for future Air transport - Research & Innovation cooperation scheme (HIKARI)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
"HIKARI (“light” in Japanese) aims at pursuing and bringing one step further cooperation between Europe and Japan in the field of high speed transport (HST).Such a disruptive approach to commercial air transport will foster innovation, ensure leadership in high technology areas, and contribute to ACARE goals by studying alternative fuels and low emissions propulsive technologies. But for such a pr ...

Advanced Hybrid Engines for Aircraft Development (AHEAD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"Future demands on the air transport systems dictate that aircraft should be less polluting, less noisy and more fuel efficient. Also, in the long term alternative fuels like biofuels and hydrogen will replace the traditional jet fuel. The ACARE in Europe has identified that CO2 emission and perceived noise levels should be reduced by half and NOx emission be reduced by 80% by 2020. However recent ...

In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System - European Research Infrastructure (IAGOS-ERI)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
"It is proposed to establish a sustainable distributed infrastructure for global observations of atmospheric composition from a large fleet of in-service aircraft. This will be achieved by installing autonomous instrument packages aboard initially 10-20 longrange aircraft of internationally operating airlines. IAGOS-ERI will provide high quality in-situ observations of greenhouse gases and reactiv ...

Stratospheric ozone: Halogen Impacts in a Varying Atmosphere (Shiva)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
SHIVA aims to reduce uncertainties in present and future stratospheric halogen loading and ozone depletion resulting from climate feedbacks between emissions and transport of ozone depleting substances (ODS). Of particular relevance will be studies of short and very short-lived substances (VSLS) with climate-sensitive natural emissions. We will perform field studies of ODS production, emission and ...

Weather hazards for aeronautics (WEZARD)
Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"On April 14th, 2010, the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and the accompanying cloud of volcanic ash forced most countries in northern Europe to shut their airspace, grounding more than 100,000 flights, affected an estimated 10 million travellers and had a financial impact of 5 bn US$ over a seven day period. This event revealed to what extent our society and economy rely on the availabi ...
