Coordination meeting on climate modelling and on science for climate services 7-8 June 2012, Brussels InfraStructure for the European Network for Earth System modelling IS-ENES 1 rst Phase (2009-2013) & 2 nd Phase (2013-2016) pending negotiation Sylvie JOUSSAUME, CNRS-IPSL, Coordinator +
ENES 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, J. Marotzke, R. Budich, A. Navarra, P. Kabat, B. Lawrence
IS-ENES : Infrastructure for ENES FP7 project « Integrating Activities » 1 rst phase: 2009-2012 (7.6 M € ) 2 nd phase: 2013-2016 (8 M € ) http://is.enes.org/ Infrastructure : Users : Models and their environment The ENES community Model data Regional climate models Interface with HPC ecosystem 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 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 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 ?
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 Foster interactions, synergies & common strategies Phase 1 Phase 2 Integrate global climate modelling community Integrate global & regional communities • Strategy : model evaluation • ENES Infrastructure Strategy & mid-term update • Community building: • Community building : Training (cont) 1rst European training school on ESM ENES Portal (cont) ENES portal http://enes.org Launch ENES Symposia (support modelling strategy) • Strengthen governance: organisation, HPC, data, software
Foster the development of ESMs Network, Service & Joint Research Activities Foster common developments, sharing of expertise, accelerate developments Phase 1 Phase 2 • Develop service on models • Enhanced service on models : Model documentation IS-ENES1 continued + NEMO, OASIS, CDO support for 2 ESMs help for all 7 ESMs Towards next generation • Evaluation portal for ESM models components common radiation (Euclipse) code/software convergence • Develop software (coupling, workflow) Sharing best practices for model environments
Foster high-end simulations Network & Joint Research Activities Ensure an efficient access and execution of ESMs on high-performance computing facilities Phase 2 Phase 1 • Establish an HPC Task Force • HPC Task Force (cont) • Common strategy on HPC • Common strategy on HPC (cont) • Enhance the interface with EU • Interface with PRACE (cont) large RI: PRACE • Model performance issue (cont) • Improve model performance on HPC: I/O, coupler, tests • Prepare future high-end experiments (SPECS) • Develop coupled benchmarks • Innovation: Interactions with ICT & vendors
Foster the dissemination of Earth system model simulation results Network, Service & Joint Research Activities Foster the use of model results for climate research and for climate impacts studies Phase 1 Phase 2 Support to CMIP5 Support to CMIP5 & now also CORDEX & CORDEX • Service around model results • Enhance service around model (cont) results (Users & providers) • Develop more efficient tools (cont) • Develop more efficient tools (ESGF, collab PCMDI) • Metadata upgrades , interoperability (METAFOR) • Prototype services for the impact communities (use cases, • Services for the climate methodologies) impacts (tools, downscaling, indices) • Societal innovation : to corporates (coll Climate KIC) and to climate services centers (coll CSC)
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 ?
