Precipitation directly affects societies and ecosystems, with both extremely wet and dry conditions posing potential risks. Our ability to predict variations in precipitation on seasonal, inter-annual and decadal time scales is however limited, and state-of-the-art prediction systems exhibit low skill in predicting precipitation despite substantial developments and...

The EERIE answers Horizon Europe call: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D1-02-02: Development of high-resolution Earth system models for global and regional climate change projections.

The project uses four European global climate models to produce new simulations of past and future climate. The representation of ocean processes will be at the cutting edge given that...

Ocean eddies, closed circular currents that form when the mean flow meanders, are fundamental for understanding the North Atlanticcirculation and, through it, the climate of the surrounding regions. In the Gulf Stream, eddies regulate the poleward energy transport asmuch as the mean ocean flow and drive intense extratropical cyclone formation thanks to the large temperature...

The Climate Modelling Users Group (CMUG) has worked for seven years on defining user requirements, assessing precursor and CCI climate datasets, and promoting the CCI datasets to the climate research and modelling community. The main goals and activities of the CMUG Phase 2 proposal are:

1. To carry out a more extensive (than was possible in Phases 1...
