IS-ENES3 Central & Eastern Europe Autumn Schools “From Climate Projections to Climate impacts via Regional Downscaling”

• From 28 November - 2 December 2022

The Charles University, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Department of Atmospheric Physics, within the project IS-ENES3, with cooperation of KNMI and the Faculty of Physics of Belgrade, organises two parallel schools (with common days to CORDEX FPC Convection final General Assembly) targeted to climate and impact researchers from Central and Eastern Europe on 28 November until 2 December 2022 in Prague (Czech Republic), hotel Krystal.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges in our times. To be able to do climate change impact studies and to adapt to climate change, the understanding of the climate system behaviour - especially in higher resolution considering local conditions - is essential, and knowledge on climate data and experience on processing and analyzing climate data is needed. The main source of future data are climate projections, and we rely on regional downscaling for high resolution information. During the school, climate and impact researchers and students will get lectures on climate models and downscaling methods, on tools to analyze and process climate data and how to apply them for impact studies. This is combined with information where and how to access the necessary data, as well as dedicated time for tutorials and practical exercises in order to get experience with these data and tools.

Since climate and impact researchers/students have different levels of background knowledge about climate, during the first two days the participants get different lectures and tools to work with. Starting the third day, climate and impact researchers/students will work together on an impact study.

Special occasion is given to participants to attend the final meeting with selected presentations of CORDEX FPS Convection (to be held last three days of the schools), where they can get acquainted with the up-to-date activity in dynamical downscaling in very high resolution, so-called convection permitting access to the modelling, describing convection explicitly without parameterization.

The aim of the schools is to:

• get deeper insight on the issue of climate projections and up-to-date directions in downscaling of them for regional and local climate change impacts studies
• get more knowledge about the various types and sources of climate data and tools/methods to analyse/process them and get experience in using these tools/methods/data
• learn what is needed for interdisciplinary impact/adaptation studies on climate change
• create/broaden network on climate change and impact assessments

Target groups

• Climate researchers and students (Bachelor, MSc, PhD);
• Impact researchers and students (Bachelor, MSc, PhD) on agriculture/forestry, hydrology/water management and health

Priority will be given to Eastern and Central Europe researchers and students, but candidates from other EU countries can also apply for potential remaining seats.

Application form

Apply before November 7th by filling this form !

Deadlines

• Registration deadline: November 7, 2022.
• Participants notification on acceptance: November 11, 2022.

Accommodations, meals and travel

Accommodation in double rooms and lunches will be covered by the organizers. Travel costs and dinners will be covered by participants.

We aim at having around 20 persons per group (total of 40-50 participants). The working language during the course will be English.

IS-ENES3 Webinar for the EU Outermost territories: Introduction to the IS-ENES3 climate data services

• Date: October 12th, 2022

With the aim to broaden its user base and disseminate its activities, the IS-ENES3 project, in collaboration with CNRS-IPSL and CERFACS, organised a webinar specifically targeted to some French Outermost territories.

In order to address the users’ needs of these specific locations, the Météo-France partner (MF-CNRM) liaised the coordination team with two of its divisions located in the French Outermost Territories: the Interregional division West Indies-Guyana (located in Martinique) and the one of La Réunion. The IS-ENES3 coordination team first organised a preparation meeting with the divisions’ main contacts, in order to give a broad overview of the IS-ENES3 project, as well as to discuss and assess the users’ expectations. In the framework of their research, the users expressed the need to get more information on the CNRS-IPSL Computing and Data Center (called ESPRI), as well as on the Climate4Impact portal (C4I) and its main tool to compute climate indices, icclim. Therefore, on October 12th 2022, a two-hour webinar was organised, equally divided between the two topics. Presentations were given respectively by Guillaume Levavasseur (CNRS-IPSL) and Christian Pagé (CERFACS), with some time dedicated to questions. The webinar gathered six users, which was a convenient number for them to ask their questions, directly linked to their own research practice.

According to the participants, the webinar has been useful to them and some expressed their willingness to access ESPRI via the IS-ENES3 virtual access compute service, and/or to get more familiar with the Climate4Impact portal.

Presentations delivered:

• French Data Analysis Platform for ENES (aka. ESPRI), Guillaume Levavasseur (CNRS-IPSL)
• Climate4Impact (C4I) and icclim: Tools to ease access to climate data, Christian Pagé (CERFACS)

CF conventions virtual training

• Date: September 8th, 2022

There will be a CF conventions virtual training event on Thursday 08 September 2022, 15:00-18:00 UTC. This will be the first in a series of training sessions organized by and for the CF community. It is aimed primarily at users new or fairly new to CF, and may also be useful to those with more experience.

Full details of the programme can be found at https://cfconventions.org/Training/2022-Training-Workshop.html

The Climate and Forecast metadata conventions (CF) are a community-developed standard designed to promote the processing and sharing of climate and forecast model and observational output data, and derived data products. The conventions define metadata that provide a definitive description of what the data in each variable represents, and the spatial and temporal properties of the data. This enables users of data from different sources to decide which quantities are comparable, and facilitates building applications with powerful extraction, regridding, and display capabilities. The CF convention includes a standard name table, which defines strings that identify physical quantities.

There are no registration fees for the training session. You can register here. (This is also the form to use for registration at the 2022 CF workshop, however there is no obligation to also attend the workshop and it is fine if you only want to attend the training session).

Dates of the clinic

The virtual clinic is divided into two meetings.

• 14th October 2021 10:00-12:00 CET
• 21st October 2021 10:00-12:00 CET

Background

For many studies on the impacts of climate change, bias-adjustment of the climate model simulations is a necessary step before impact models can be run or before relevant climate indices can be calculated. However, there are many methods, all with their own advantages and disadvantages. As part of the IS-ENES3 project, 3 courses on “Climate data for impact assessments” were organized, in which also some attention was paid to bias-adjustment (by Ana Casanueva, University of Cantabria). However, it was clear that the participants of the schools wanted some more in-depth information and practical exercises.

Who can participate

Everyone interested ! However, the workshop is meant especially for climate researchers, impact researchers and climate service providers who may have to do bias-adjustments or use/will use bias-adjusted climate model data.

Set-up the clinic

• During the first meeting, two experts in the field of bias-adjustments will give more in-depth information about e.g. quantile mapping, bias adjustment of precipitation, multivariate methods, challenges, limitations and pitfalls and non-stationary methods.
• In between the two meetings, participants are asked to either explore some tools, do an exercise that will be provided or send in an example/problem/question from their own work on bias adjustments or with bias-adjusted data.
• During the second meeting, problems and challenges of participants with bias-adjustments will be discussed, either from their own work, tools they used or the exercise that was provided during the first meeting.

Speakers

• Mathieu Vrac: Head of the ESTIMR (Extremes - Statistics - Impacts - Regionalization) group, Directeur de Recherches CNRS (Senior Research scientist) at LSCE-IPSL/CNRS
• Douglas Maraun: Associate Professor at the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change and head of the Regional Climate Research Group at the University of Graz

XIOS training sessions

• open when: Mar 15, 2021
• duration: Mar 15, 2021 02:00 PM to Apr 16, 2021 05:00 PM (Europe/Vienna / UTC100)

The XIOS team will open two online training sessions on XIOS and dr2xml.

The first session will take place from 2pm to 5pm CET on March 15th to 19th 2021 and the second one is planned for April 12th - 16th 2021.

This training session will include presentations of XIOS & dr2xml and most importantly several hands-on exercises.

A dedicated webpage for this training is available here and information will be updated regularly including a more detailed program of the training and slides.

The slides used for the training sessions are available here !

What is XIOS:

The climate simulation models launched on super-computers produce a significant amount of data. At this scale, the management of output files and post-treatment on data become the performance bottleneck for those climate models. In order to generate efficiently the output from models while taking advantage of the calculate resources, Institut Pierre Simon Laplace has launched the XIOS project.

XIOS is a library dedicated to generate efficiently and easily the parallel input/output of climate models. It uses a client-server methodology in which clients (or models) will simulate the physics and send data asynchronously to servers. It is the XIOS servers who are in charge of writing data to files. In this way, we can smooth the I/O peaks by sending to servers a constant data flux all along the simulations and the I/O is overlapped with calculates.

What’s more, XIOS provides multiple functionalities which allow an “in situ” data post-treatment. For example, we can read the data from models, operate transformations on those data, combine data from different source models, and send results to multiple output files. All these operations are defined from an external XML file with a very compact and flexible way. Any modifications in this XML file will not require re-compilation of XIOS or models.

XIOS is written in C++ and uses MPI for asynchronous communications between clients and servers. NETCDF, HDF5, and MPIIO are also used in XIOS for efficient file writing.

What is dr2xml:

DR2XML is a python package useful for climate models whose I/O are handled by XIOS. It has been originally designed to facilitate the configuration of XIOS (automatic generation of XML files) so as to fully satisfy the CMIP6 DataRequest. With DR2XML, the NetCDF files output by the model are directly CMOR3 compliant. Some extended functionalities were also developed so that DR2XML enables the user to set up his own Data Request. Consequently DR2XML can be used to customize the official CMIP6 DR or even to work off the CMIP6 framework, but benefiting from the CF-NetCDF, CMOR, and CMIP6 standards (file naming convention, file structure, variable definitions, file and variable attributes, etc.).
