1 Copernicus Climate Change Service
Jean-Noël Thépaut

2 Users Service Components Space Component In-situ Component
What is Copernicus? Copernicus, previously known as GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security), is the European Programme for the establishment of a European capacity for Earth Observation Users Service Components copernicus.eu Space Component In-situ Component Source: copernicus.eu, retrieved April 2014

3 Space Component: Sentinel Missions
Sentinel-1 (A/B) – SAR imaging All weather, day/night applications, interferometry Sentinel-2 (A/B) – Multi-spectral imaging Land applications: urban, forest, agriculture,… Continuity of Landsat, SPOT Sentinel-3 (A/B) – Ocean and global land monitoring Wide-swath ocean color, vegetation, sea/land surface temperature, altimetry Sentinel-4 (A/B) – Geostationary atmospheric Atmospheric composition monitoring, trans- boundary pollution Sentinel-5 precursor/ Sentinel-5 (A/B) – Low-orbit atmospheric Atmospheric composition monitoring Jason-CS (A/B) – Low inclination Altimetry Sea-level, wave height and marine wind speed Source: ESA

4 Contributing missions and In-situ Component
Copernicus services rely on data from in situ monitoring networks (maps, ground based weather stations, ocean buoys and air quality monitoring networks) to provide robust integrated information and to calibrate and validate the data from satellites. Copernicus services rely on data from many other missions. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) benefits from historical datasets from space and in situ Source: copernicus.eu, retrieved April 2014; Pictures: commons.wikimedia.org

5 Copernicus Service Component
Services Component Marine Land Atmosphere Emergency Management Security Climate Change Services Component Source: ESA

6 C3S vision C3S vision To be an authoritative source of climate information for Europe To build upon national investments and complement national climate service providers To support the market for climate services in Europe

7 The basic questions: How is the climate changing?
C3S vision The basic questions: How is the climate changing? Earth observations Reanalyses How will climate change in future? Predictions Projections How will it impact society? Climate indicators Sectoral information

9 Demonstrator of a European Climate Service of Reference
Copernicus Climate Change Service Climate monitoring Demonstrator of a European Climate Service of Reference Combining models and observations + ~0.8ºC The 16 warmest years on record: and the latest 12-month mean exceeds 0.5K  Issued on 8 March 2016

10 C3S components Climate Data Store Sectoral Information System
Evaluation and Quality Control Outreach and Dissemination ECVs past, present and future Observed, reanalysed and simulated Derived climate indicators Tools to support adaptation and mitigation at global and European level Monitors quality of C3S products and services Ensures C3S delivers state-of-the-art climate information to end-users Identifies gaps in service provision Bridges Copernicus with the research agenda in Europe (e.g. H2020, national research projects) Web content Public outreach Coordination with national outreach Liaison with public authorities Conferences, seminars Training and education

11 Technical challenges:
Climate Data Store Technical challenges: Diversity of users Diversity of data sets Very large data volumes Data residing at different locations Interoperability, efficiency User-defined workflows Variety of presentation methods Need for interactivity Access via API User management Performance monitoring controls maps text graphs

12 Development of CDS software infrastructure
Climate Data Store Development of CDS software infrastructure 2016 Q1: Start of contract 2016 Q3: Initial release of working prototype for limited testing 2017 Q1: First functional release exposed to a large user group, then quarterly releases with added functionality 2018 Q1: Final release Development of CDS toolbox 2016 Q2: Start of contract

13 Scientific basis: Climate Indicators
Climate Data Store Scientific basis: Essential Climate Variables as defined by GCOS GCOS Status Report (GCOS-195) IPCC, CMIP Observations Global estimates of ECVs from satellite and in-situ observations Reprocessed CDRs, reference observations Support for data rescue, climate data collections Climate reanalysis Global atmosphere, ocean, land Regional reanalysis for Europe Coupled climate reanalysis for 100 years Model output Multi-model seasonal forecast products Access to CMIP data and products Reference set of climate projections for Europe Climate Indicators

14 Climate Data Store

15 Global reanalysis: Regional reanalysis: Climate Data Store
ERA5 is now in production 32km global resolution Uncertainty estimates Improved use of observations Newly reprocessed satellite data Hourly data from 1979-NRT Access to all input observations Regional reanalysis: European domain Higher spatial resolution Workshop planned for 2016 Q2 Competitive call by 2016 Q4

16 C3S seasonal forecasts Copernicus Climate Change Service
Aim: to generate multi-model seasonal forecast products based on the best information available, to an operational schedule, and make them publicly available. Components of the seasonal service: Forecast data: a list of atmosphere (and ocean) variables, on 1x1 degree grid, at daily or sub-daily resolution, from 6-month forecasts Graphical products (e.g. time series for indices, maps, climagrams) Processed data (e.g. indices, probabilities, inputs for SIS) First set of products will be available starting Q2 2016 Northern Europe; from September 2015

17 Sectoral Information System

Data Provider (C3S)

20 ENERGY: CLIM4ENERGY Managing increasing sensitivity of supply-demand balance to weather and climate variability Evaluating risk changes Evaluating renewable resources for investment Evaluating changes in operating conditions Accounting for sea-level rise

21 Commonalities between the projects
Use input data from the Climate Data Store - observations, ECVs, reanalyses, seasonal forecasts, climate projections - additional datasets (from other services, socio-economic data, etc.) Indirect Use of other Satellite Data (Land Service, Emergency Service, Marine service) Stakeholders engagement: - user workshops organised at very early stage Demonstrators Wide users trials and feedback

22 Evaluation and Quality Control
Ensures C3S delivers state-of-the-art climate information to end-users Identifies gaps in the Service Bridges Copernicus with Research Agenda in Europe (e.g. H2020, national research projects) Monitors continually, quality of C3S products and services “Quality Assurance” body for the Service Will be the instrument to develop the URDB/SES/etc. documents

23 Outreach and Communication
Developing material Brochures & postcards Video & animations Infographics
