http://enes.org

A network of European groups in climate/Earth system modeling Launched in 2001 by Guy Brasseur (MOU) More than 40 groups from academic, public and industrial world Main focus : discuss strategy to accelerate progress in climate/Earth system modelling and understanding Several EU projects FP5: PRISM, FP6: ENSEMBLES, FP7: METAFOR, COMBINE, IS-ENES, EUCLIPSE, EMBRACE IS-ENES2, SPECS Collaboration with PRACE Scientific Board : S. Joussaume, J.C. André, J. Mitchell, T. Palmer,

IS-ENES : Infrastructure for ENES FP7 project « Integrating Activities » 1rst phase: 2009-2012 (7.6 M€) 2nd phase: 2013-2016 (8 M€) Infrastructure : Models and their environment Model data Interface with HPC ecosystem Users : The ENES community Regional climate models Impact studies Europe : 7 global climate models CMCC, COSMOS, EC-Earth, Hadley, IPSL, Meteo-France , NorESM Support to international databases : CMIP5 & CORDEX EuroCordex, Africa - Medcordex ? Objectives: In order to better understand and predict climate variability & changes

  • Foster the integration of the European ESM community
  • Foster the development of ESMs
  • Foster high-end simulations
  • Foster application of ESM simulations for climate change impacts

Foresight exercice to prepare the strategy

Foresight meetings Montvillargennes, March 2010 & Hamburg, Feb 2011 Drivers : Science & Society From understanding to the development of “Climate Services”

Key science questions

  • What is needed to provide reliable predictions of regional changes in

climate?

  • How predictable is climate ?
  • What is the sensitivity of climate (feedbacks, nonlinear behaviours) ?
  • Can we model and understand glacial-interglacial cycles ?
  • Can we attribute observed signals and understand processes ?

Writing team:

  • J. Mitchell, R. Budich, S. Joussaume, B. Lawrence & J. Marotzke

52 contributors from BE, CZ, DE, DK, FI, FR, IT, NO, SE, SP, UK

Infrastructure strategy for ENES for the next 10 years

Recommandations: 1) Access to world-class HPC for climate: customized to dedicated 2) Develop the next generation of climate models 3) Set up data infrastructure (global and regional models) for large range of users from impact community 4) Improve physical network (eg link national archives) 5) Strengthen european expertise and networking Input to IS-ENES2 ENES Towards a European Climate Infrastructure Initiative : a sustainable virtual laboratory

Foster the integration of the European ESM community Networking activities

  • ENES Infrastructure Strategy
  • Community building:

1rst European training school on ESM ENES portal http://enes.org

  • Strategy: model evaluation

& mid-term update

  • Community building:

Training (cont) ENES Portal (cont) Launch ENES Symposia (support modelling strategy)

  • Strengthen governance:
  • rganisation, HPC, data,

software Phase 1

Integrate global climate modelling community

Phase 2

Integrate global & regional communities

Foster interactions, synergies & common strategies

  • Develop service on models

Model documentation NEMO, OASIS, CDO

  • Enhanced service on models:

IS-ENES1 continued + support for 2 ESMs help for all 7 ESMs Phase 1 Phase 2

  • Evaluation portal for ESM

components

  • Develop software (coupling,

workflow) Towards next generation models common radiation (Euclipse) code/software convergence Sharing best practices for model environments Foster the development of ESMs Network, Service & Joint Research Activities Foster common developments, sharing of expertise, accelerate developments

Foster high-end simulations Network & Joint Research Activities

  • HPC Task Force (cont)
  • Common strategy on HPC (cont)
  • Interface with PRACE (cont)
  • Model performance issue (cont)
  • Prepare future high-end

experiments (SPECS)

  • Develop coupled benchmarks
  • Innovation: Interactions with

ICT & vendors Phase 1 Phase 2 Ensure an efficient access and execution of ESMs

  • n high-performance computing facilities
  • Establish an HPC Task Force
  • Common strategy on HPC
  • Enhance the interface with EU

large RI: PRACE

  • Improve model performance on

HPC: I/O, coupler, tests

Foster the dissemination of Earth system model simulation results Network, Service & Joint Research Activities

  • Service around model results

(cont)

  • Develop more efficient tools (cont)
  • Metadata upgrades,

interoperability (METAFOR)

  • Services for the climate

impacts (tools, downscaling, indices)

  • Societal innovation: to

corporates (coll Climate KIC) and to climate services centers (coll CSC) Phase 1 Support to CMIP5 & now also CORDEX

  • Enhance service around model

results (Users & providers)

  • Develop more efficient tools

(ESGF, collab PCMDI)

  • Prototype services for the

impact communities (use cases, methodologies) Phase 2 Support to CMIP5 & CORDEX Foster the use of model results for climate research and for climate impacts studies

Conclusions

  • Infrastructure projects have an integrative dimension : Important to link

with other EU projects, IS-ENES integrates/serves developments done in other EU projects

  • RI: long-term need, towards an ESFRI ?
  • IS-ENES contributes to JP Climate objectives
  • ENES data portal and portal for impacts: a resource for a large range of users

Climate KIC, GMES Climate, more generally Climate Services

  • Growing issue: preparing next generation of climate models

Exascale computers, very high-resolution physics Long-term effort, towards a common strategy ? (JPI Climate)
