ENEShttp://www.enes.org

A network of European groups in climate/Earth system modelingLaunched in 2001 by Guy Brasseur (MOU)

More than 40 groups from academic, public and industrial world

Main focus : discuss strategy to accelerate progress in climate/Earth system modeling and understanding

Several EU projects PRISM, ENSEMBLES,

METAFOR, COMBINE, IS-ENES, EUCLIPSESupport to PRACE & DEISA2

IS-ENES : Infrastructure for ENES FP7 project - 2009-2012

18 partners – coord IPSL – S. Joussaume7.6 M€

Infrastructure :

Models and their environment

Model data

Interface with HPC ecosystem

Users :

The ENES community

Regional climate models

Impact studies

Europe : 6 global climate modelsCMCC, COSMOS, EC-Earth, Hadley, IPSL, Meteo-France

Objectives:

Integration of the European ESM communityENES strategy, exchange of expertise/training, portal

Development of ESMs service on common tools and model components, common evaluation

international standards

Prepare for high-end simulations interface with PRACE, improve model performance

Foster application of ESM simulations for climate change impactsdissemination of model results,

interface with decision makers and users

ENES strategy under preparation :

Does this infrastructure fulfill data needs for impact studies ?

Climate services : building an information system

Climate projectionsGlobal modelsdownscaling

Climate IndicatorsHeat waves, drought/floods

Impact studiesSocio-economy, Ecosystems, Health

Decision support toolsDedicated analyses

Interaction with users/stakeholders

Develop Interdisciplinarity
