WCRP grand challenge on Sea-level rise and coastal impact

WCRP has implemented the grand challenge on Sea-level rise and coastal impact to meet urgent societal needs for useful information on regional Sea Level rise. Goals are to improve our understanding of regional to local sea level variability; to promote advances in observing systems required for an integrated SL monitoring; and to foster the development of sea-level scenarios and projections for the benefits of coastal...

The Climate Change Initiative project

The objective of the CCI programme is to realize the full potential of the long-term global Earth Observations archives that ESA together with its Member States have established over the last 30 years, as a significant and timely contribution to the ECV databases required by the UNFCCC. The CCI comprises fourteen parallel projects geared to ECV data production, plus a dedicated climate modelling user project...

EUSTACE – Creating daily analyses of surface air temperature globally

Using surface skin temperature from satellites to estimate daily air temperature everywhere. EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) will give publicly available daily estimates of surface air temperature since 1850 across the globe for the first time by combining surface and satellite data using novel statistical techniques. Why EUSTACE? Day-to-day variations in surface air temperature affect society in many ways: Health and...

ROADAPT Guideline on the use of data for the current and future climate for road infrastructure

The aim of this document is to give background information and guidelines for tailored and consistent climate data and information for studies on the impact of the current and future climate for transnational road networks in Europe, suitable for National Road Authorities (NRA’s). The document can be used by: NRA’s to judge the climate information that they receive from e.g. (impact) research institutes, consultancies, and by impact researchers and consultancies to...

ERA-CLIM – European Reanalysis of Global Climate Observations

The project focus is on production and assessment of multi-decadal reanalyses of the global climate system including atmosphere, land, ocean, and cryosphere, combined with consistent information on the carbon cycle. Observational data sets In addition, substantial work will be directed at data recovery, reprocessing, and quality control of input observations for reanalysis, with emphasis on improving and extending the usable satellite climate data records, and...

International Surface Temperature Inititiative

To deliver climate services for the benefit of society we need to develop and deliver a suite of monitoring products from hourly to century timescales and from location specific to the global mean. Society expects openness and transparency in the process and to have a greater understanding of the certainty regarding how climate has changed and how it will continue to change. Necessary steps to...
