InfraStructure for the European Network for Earth System Modelling (IS-ENES)

Description:

IS-ENES is a series of EU-funded projects which develop a range of e-infrastructure tools and services for global climate change modelling. These projects are responsible for the distributed infrastructure of the European Network for Earth System modelling (ENES) that serves the European modelling community working on understanding and predicting climate variability and change. The overarching goal of this e-infrastructure is to further integrate and strengthen collaborations within the European climate modelling community, to help the definition of a common future strategy, to ease the development of full Earth system models (ESMs) and to support the dissemination of model results and the interaction with the climate change impact community.

From 2009 to 2017, the ENES portal has been developed and maintained within the European FP7 projects IS-ENES and IS-ENES2. In particular, these projects developed a specific Portal Interface for the Climate Impact Communities (EPICIC) specifically oriented towards climate change impact modellers, impact and adaptation consultants, as well as other experts using climate change data.

The ENES portal is now currently maintained in the frame of the H2020 project IS-ENES3. IS-ENES3 supports a new community sea ice model, promotes the efficient use of high-performance computing and develops and enhances services on data. The project IS-ENES3 is finding innovative ways of working with the Copernicus programme and with the high-performance computing and data analytics industries. A work package is dedicated to widening the user base and improving the connection with the needs of potential users such as the climate impact community. Delivering on these objectives will serve not only the scientific community, but will provide an optimal route to maximising the European investment in understanding and adapting to climate change.

Duration: 

  • IS-ENES 2009-2013
  • IS-ENES2 2013-2017
  • IS-ENES3 2019-2022
