Description
1) Develop an ensemble prediction system based on state-of-the-art, high resolution, global and regional Earth System models developed in Europe, and validated against quality controlled, high resolution gridded datasets for Europe. The prediction system will, for the first time, produce a reliable, objective, probabilistic estimate of uncertainty in future climate on seasonal to decadal and longer timescales. 2) Quantify and reduce uncertainty in the model representation of physical, chemical, biological and human-related feedbacks in the Earth System (including water resource, land use, and air quality issues, and carbon cycle feedbacks). 3) Maximise the exploitation of the results by linking the outputs of the ensemble prediction system to a range of applications, including agriculture, health, food security, energy, water resources, insurance and weather risk management.
