Seasonal-to-decadal climate Prediction for the improvement of European Climate Services (SPECS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) sponsored the Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) where the need for actionable climate information for periods from several months up to several years for economic, industrial and political planning has been expressed. However, progress in seasonal forecasting has been slow and decadal forecasting is still incipient. At the same time, new model ...

Effects of Climate Change on Air Pollution Impacts and Response Strategies for European Ecosystems (ECLAIRE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

ÉCLAIRE investigates the ways in which climate change alters the threat of air pollution on European land ecosystems including soils. Based on field observations, experimental data and models, it establishes new flux, concentration and dose-response relationships, as a basis to inform future European policies.Starting with biosphere-atmosphere exchange measurements, ÉCLAIRE quantifies how global w ...

Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research Infrastructure Network (ACTRIS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Climate change is for a large part governed by atmospheric processes, in particular the interaction between radiation and atmospheric components (e.g. aerosols, clouds, greenhouse and trace gases). Some of these components are also those with adverse health effects influencing air quality. Strengthening the ground-based component of the Earth Observing System for these key atmospheric variables ha ...
