Climate information for the wind energy industry in the Mediterranean Region: from ENSEMBLES to MED- CORDEX Alessandro Dell'Aquila, ENEA Sandro Calmanti, ENEA Melanie Davies, IC3 Peter Schmidt, PIK

What is CLIM-RUN? Design and implementation of a Climate Services protocol for optimizing the two-way information transfer (bottom-up /up- bottom) between climate experts and stakeholders Advancement of the science underpinning the production of detailed climate information at regional to local scales tailored for stakeholder needs Test of the protocol via its application to a number of real world case studies in the Mediterranean area (mainly on Energy & Tourism and Natural hazards) CLIM-RUN ( ) Objectives

Tourism: Tunisia, France, Cyprus, Croatia Energy: Spain, Morocco, Cyprus, Croatia Wild Fires: Greece (see presentation Climate change and wildfire risk by C. Giannakopoulos et al.) Integrated Case Study: North Adriatic What is CLIM-RUN? CLIM-RUN Case studies More info & gadgets in Poster Area 2 at Poster FF11 “New perspectives and products from the CLIM-RUN project: continuing and developing the engagement with Mediterranean stakeholders”

Climate information for the wind energy: MOTIVATION During the first phase of EU-FP7 CLIMRUN project, wind speed has been identified as a key climate variable of interest for the case studies on energy that cover the Greater Mediterranean region involving Morocco, Spain and Cyprus. Most of the interest concerning wind modelling focuses on the very short-range (nowcasting) and on seasonal forecasts, because the largest part of the manageable risk is concentrated on these time- scales. However, the interaction with stakeholders, especially in the energy sector, has highlighted the need for more in depth understanding of wind modelling capacities at a longer time scale, which may contribute to both site evaluation in the absence of very accurate wind atlases and on the assessments of risks that may affect the return on investments on longer time scale

ENSEMBLES RCMs DATA The table shows the GCMs-25Km RCMs combinations extracted from the ENSEMBLES archive to develop the CLIMRUN products on wind scenarios. ENSEMBLES FP6 GCMs- RCMs MATRIX ENSEMBLES domain QuikSCAT LEVEL3 observational dataset. This dataset has a global coverage at daily frequency and a horizontal resolution of 0.5° x 0.5° (over sea).
