EU Cloud Intercomparison, Process Study and Evaluation Project (EUCLIPSE)

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

Cloud feedbacks remain the largest source of uncertainty in projections of future climate. They are also a major contributor to uncertainty in other feedbacks (e.g., surface albedo, carbon cycle) in the Earth System. Through interactions with the large-scale circulation, cloud processes also contribute to synoptic circulations and regional climate. They are therefore critical to the prediction of ...

Anticipating climate change and biospheric feedbacks within the Earth system to 2200 (GREENCYCLESII)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"There is a pressing need to improve our understanding of climate processes and their impacts in order to develop appropriate adaptation and mitigation measures. Increasing concentrations of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) are known to be causing changes in global climate patterns, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to predict future climatic states i ...

Comprehensive Modelling of the Earth system for better climate prediction and projection (COMBINE)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"The European integrating project COMBINE brings together research groups to advance Earth system models (ESMs) for more accurate climate projections and for reduced uncertainty in the prediction of climate and climate change in the next decades. COMBINE will contribute to better assessments of changes in the physical climate system and of their impacts in the societal and economic system. The pro ...

The terrestrial Carbon cycle under Climate Variability and Extremes – a Pan-European synthesis (CARBO-Extreme)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

The aim of this project is to achieve an improved knowledge of the terrestrial carbon cycle in response to climate variability and extremes, to represent and apply this knowledge over Europe with predictive terrestrial carbon cycle modelling, to interpret the model predictions in terms of vulnerability of the terrestrial – in particular soil – carbon pools and give according advice to EU climate a ...

30-year re-analysis of CARBON fluxES and pools over Europe and the Globe (CARBONES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"The carbon Environmental Service (CARBONES) will provide the first multi-decadal reanalysis of the global carbon cycle and a service to provide a rolling update of this analysis. This will include the "essential climate variables" (defined by the Global Climate Observing System) of atmospheric carbon dioxide, leaf area and biomass in various categories. No integrated reanalysis includes these cli ...

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 ...

HighNoon: adaptation to changing water resources availability in northern India with Himalayan glacier retreat and changing monsoon pattern (HighNoon)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

The hydrological system of Northern India is based on two main phenomena, the monsoon precipitation in summer and the growth and melt of the snow and ice cover in the Himalaya, also called the “Water Tower of Asia”. However, climate change is expected to change these phenomena and it will have a profound impact on snow cover, glaciers and its related hydrology, water resources and the agricultural ...

Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate (MACC)

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

"MACC (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate) is designed to meet the requirements that have been expressed for the pilot Core GMES Atmospheric Service. The project has been prepared by the consortia of the FP6 project GEMS and the GSE project PROMOTE, whose core service lines will provide the starting point for MACC. From mid-2009 MACC will continue, improve, extend, integrate and valida ...
