The CORDEX office on vacation!
 

The CORDEX office is unmanned during the period of 6 July to 7 August.

For matters regarding CORDEX data access please see CORDEX data access and/or our FAQ

For other CORDEX matters please take a look at the general FAQ, contact one of our Points of Contact (POCs) or one of our Science Advisory Team (SAT) members.

For more WCRP-related matters you can turn to the WCRP secretariat wcrp@wmo.int.

The call for nominations to CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT) is now closed and the nominations are under review. Decisions will be announced at the earliest in October.

For questions regarding the current Flagship Pilot Study call more information can be found here. For any further information please contact one of our Science Advisory Team (SAT) members.

EGU Townhall report
 

At the EGU24 in Vienna in April CORDEX held a townhall together with CMIP and RIfS on the chain from CMIP to decision makers. There were both shorter presentations and group discussions. The Townhall was designed to understand the challenges of producing information for society based on climate science. This included topics ranging from data access, to the treatment of uncertainty and expert judgement over what constitutes robust, decision-ready information.

Take the chance to propose a session for the next EGU25!
 

The EGU General Assembly 2025 will be held on-site at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV), Austria and online from 27 April to 2 May 2025 and the call for session proposals is open now and until 9 September 2024.

You can read more about the call, session guidelines etc. at the EGU25 website

Submit your abstract to AGU sessions!
 

AGU will take place in Washington, D.C.,9-13 December, 2024.
Abstracts are due 31 July.

You are welcome to submit your abstract to the AGU session on Regional Climate: Modeling, Analysis, and Impacts (Session GC122, ID 226308

This session focuses on the state-of-the-science in modeling and analyzing regional climate and its impacts across various timescales. We are seeking contributions on coordinated modeling experiments such as CORDEX; new developments in coupled regional Earth system modeling, convection-permitting simulations, and variable resolution approaches; ensemble methods, uncertainty analyses, and methods that innovatively differentiate projection credibility in ensembles; as well as process-informed analyses of climate extremes in observations and simulations. We are also very interested in innovative methods for evaluating models, including metrics, and especially methods that relate model skill with the reliability of regional climate projections for decision-making. Plus, we welcome insights from regional models regarding Earth system and coupled human-Earth system processes, IPCC scenario downscaling, and the application of models to understand climate impacts.

There is also a session on Robustness of Climate Change Information for Decisions (Session GC128)

The provision and use of climate information are vital for addressing climate change risks. This session will delve into the robustness of climate change information for decisions, engaging the climate science community and stakeholders from diverse sectors. It will explore challenges in information exchange and foster new dialogues on regional climate information. Contributions on successful outcomes, cross-cultural experiences, and methods of uncertainty communication are encouraged. Emphasis is placed on capacity building and co-production. Aligned with the World Climate Research Programme’s RIfS project, the session underscores context-specific actionable information and stakeholder engagement. Through presentations and discussions, it aims to identify research directions and enhance climate information provision for effective decision-making and adaptation.
