Heterogeneous Memory Systems; Profiling; Runtime Systems; Programming Models Supercomputers are a key tool for professionals from many disciplines to address society challenges, enabling them to perform, e.g., climate change simulations or genome analysis. EC's HPC Strategy, implemented in H2020, devises the need to bring Europe's high-performance computing technology to the...

MED-GOLD will demonstrate the proof-of-concept for climate services in the agricultural sector by developing case studies for three hallmarks of the Mediterranean food system: grapes, olives and durum wheat. Agriculture is primarily climate driven and hence highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. Evidence suggests that the Mediterranean region is under immediate...

The European Climate Prediction system project (EUCP) has four objectives, all directly relevant to the work programme, and fully meet the challenge, scope and impact of the work programme.

1.Develop an innovative ensemble climate prediction system based on high-resolution climate models for Europe for the near-term (~1-40years), including improved methods used to characterise...

Internationalization of the markets has allowed for the globalization of agriculture, benefiting - directly or indirectly relevant countries or even entire regions like the EU, who is the first trader in agriculture products of the world. Among the different varieties of agriculture species, the wine-grapes are specially threatened by climate change, since subtle differences...

Environmental perturbations to lakes and reservoirs occur largely as episodic climatic events. These range from relatively short mixing events to storms and heat waves. While the driving events occur along a continuum of frequency and magnitude, however, their effect is generally longer lasting than the events themselves. In addition, the more extreme weather events are now...

Arctic climate change increases the need of a growing number of stakeholders for trustworthy weather and climatepredictions, both within the Arctic and beyond. APPLICATE will address this challenge and develop enhanced predictivecapacity by bringing together scientists from academia, research institutions and operational prediction centres, includingexperts in weather and...

Its general objective is to develop software and tools to access relevant data from the Copernicus Climate Data Store or other sources, to apply metrics for evaluation of climate change projections, to compute statistics and time series as well as tailored information to user needs. The access to this climate information will be through a web interface. The idea is to extend...

QA4Seas (Quality Assurance for Multi-model Seasonal Forecast Products) aims at developing a strategy for the evaluation and quality control (EQC) of the multi-model seasonal forecasts provided by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) to respond to the needs identified among a wide range of stakeholders. The quality assessment will be user driven and will put at work the...

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...

Producing trustworthy interannual to decadal climate predictions constitutes a societal challenge with numerous socio-economic applications (agriculture, energy, health, water resources, insurance). Climate is, for example, one of the key factors that influences grape and wine production affecting the suitability of certain grape varieties to a particular region as well as...
