IS-ENES [ees-enes] InfraStructure for the European Network for Earth System Modelling IS-ENES will develop a virtual Earth System Modelling Resource Centre (vERC) Martin Juckes, BADC
Funded by EU Framework Programme 7 to develop infrastructure for Earth System Modelling, 7.6M€, 4 years. 20 partners, led by IPSL. Objectives include: education, enhancing model efficiency, model evaluation tools, data management and services for data users. IS-ENES:key facts
IS-ENES: data management Core funding objective: enhance European capability to deal with large and diverse datasets from Earth System Modelling projects, using distributed data archives. Software to support EU contribution to CMIP5/AR5 archive
Key partners in data management activities PCMDIProgram for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison USA IPSLInstitute Pierre Simon LaplaceFrance BADCBritish Atmospheric Data CentreUK MPIMax-Planck InstituteGermany CMCCEuro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change Italy BSCBarcelona Supercomputer Centre Spain LIUNational Computer CentreSweden
Challenges Flexibility: an archive distributed between partners with different funding sources and development priorities. Accessibility: diverse and growing user group oGetting CMIP5/AR5 archive running oEnhancing user services oPreparing for future archives
