Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society (ACCESS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The Arctic is engaged in a deep climatic evolution. This evolution is quite predictable at short (year) and longer scales (several decades), but it is the decadal intermediate scale that is the most difficult to predict. This is because the natural variability of the system is large and dominant at this scale, and the system is highly non linear due to positive and negative feedback between sea ic ...

Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorology (DRIHM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Predicting weather and climate and its impacts on the environment, including hazards such as floods and landslides, is still one of the main challenges of the 21st century, with significant societal and economic implications. At the heart of this challenge, as also suggested by the DRIHMS (Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorology Study) project, lies the ability to have easy acce ...

MEDUSA, a Meteorological Decision Support System for Aviation (MEDUSA)

Start date: Aug 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

Weather contributes both directly and indirectly to incidents, accidents, and delays in air traffic and hence derogates safety and efficiency of airport operations. Today, the aviation stakeholders receive their meteorological information from different sources, at different update rates and with different levels of resolution and accuracy, often leading to misunderstandings and even wrong decisio ...

DEmonstration of LIdar based Clear Air Turbulence detection (DELICAT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Atmospheric turbulence encounters are the leading cause of injuries to passengers and crews in non-fatal airline accident. The number of turbulence accidents has been growing by a factor of 5 since 1980. A whole class of turbulence (Clear Air Turbulence), representing 40% of turbulence accidents, cannot be detected by any existing equipment including state-of-the-art weather radar. Operational co ...

Reconciliation of essential process parameters for an enhanced predictability of arctic stratospheric ozone loss and its climate interactions (RECONCILE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The extent of polar stratospheric ozone loss – often referred to as the “Ozone Hole” – is significantly influenced by climate change, and in turn, stratospheric ozone has been recognized as an important component in the climate system. To accurately quantify the effects of climate change on stratospheric ozone and the related feedback mechanisms, as well as to make reliable predictions of future o ...

InfraStructure for the European Network for Earth System Modelling (IS-ENES)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

"IS-ENES will develop a Virtual Earth System Modelling Resource Centre (V.E.R.C.), integrating the European Earth system models (ESMs) and their hardware, software, and data environments. The overarching goal of this e-infrastructure is to further integrate the European climate modelling community, to help the definition of a common future strategy, to ease the development of full ESMs, to foster ...

Demonstration of LIDAR Based Wake Vortex Detection System Incorporating an Atmospheric Hazard Map (GREEN-WAKE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"Wake vortex and wind shear are major causes of accidents and injury to passenger and crew of all aircraft types. There has been little protection and the main way of mitigating accidents has been to have mandatory separation times that affect the operating performance of airports. The objective of GREEN-WAKE is to develop and validate innovative technologies that will detect the Hazards and thus ...
