EURO-CORDEX domain
EURO-CORDEX is the European branch of CORDEX. EURO-CORDEX has been active since the beginning of CORDEX and during the General assembly this year they celebrated the 15th anniversary of the EURO-CORDEX initiative. It was also the 14th time the General assembly was held. The first dedicated EURO-CORDEX Modeling Meeting took place in November 2011 in Hamburg, Germany.
EURO-CORDEX is a voluntary effort of many of the leading and most active institutions in the field of regional climate research in Europe. The core of EURO-CORDEX consists of the simulations provided by the participating groups.
In 2021 German TV interviewed CORDEX co-chair Daniela Jacob, also highly involved in the EURO-CORDEX initiative, about the release of information sheets based on EURO-CORDEX simulations. https://cordex.org/2021/07/09/german-tv-interviews-cordex-co-chair-about-the-release-of-information-sheets-based-on-euro-cordex-simulations/
In 2023 the White paper on CMIP6 GCM selection and Matrix design for EURO-CORDEX was published: EURO-CORDEX CMIP6 GCM Selection & Ensemble Design: Best Practices and Recommendations
Three Flagship Pilot Studies for the European region have been endorsed so far, dedicated to different topics (one covering both Europe and the Mediterranean):
Convective phenomena at high resolution over Europe and the Mediterranean
Impact of land use changes on climate in Europe across spatial and temporal scales
URBan environments and Regional Climate Change (URB-RCC)
In 2024, an article was published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
"Delivering an Improved Framework for the New Generation of CMIP6-Driven EURO-CORDEX Regional Climate Simulations" https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-23-0131.1
The paper presents the protocol for the CMIP6/EURO-CORDEX simulations and highlights the improvements we expect in the new generation regional climate ensemble.
The current Points of Contact in this domain are:
