ENSEMBLE-based Predictions of Climate Changes and their Impacts – ENSEMBLES
Meno di un minuto
The overall goal of ENSEMBLES is to maintain and extend European pre-eminence in the provision of policy relevant information on climate and climate change and its interactions with society.
The overall goal of ENSEMBLES is to maintain and extend European pre-eminence in the provision of policy relevant information on climate and climate change and its interactions with society. This will be done by:
- Developing an ensemble prediction system based on the principal state-of-the-art, high resolution, global and regional Earth System models developed in Europe,
- Quantifying and reducing the uncertainty in the representation of physical, chemical, biological and human-related (social and economic) feedbacks in the Earth System (including water resource, land use, and air quality issues, and carbon cycle feedbacks).
- Maximising the exploitation of the results by linking the outputs of the ensemble prediction system to a range of applications, including agriculture, health, food security, energy, water resources, insurance and weather risk management.
Most importantly, ENSEMBLES ensures that these goals are all taken forward in an integrated and co-ordinated way.
