• ECVs past, present and future

• Observed, reanalysedand simulated

• Derived climate indicators

• Tools to support adaptation and mitigation at global and European level

• Monitors quality of C3S products and services

• Ensures C3S delivers state-of-the-art climate information to end-users

• Identifies gaps in service provision

• Bridges Copernicus with the research agenda in Europe (e.g. H2020, national research projects)

Climate Data Store will be at the heart of the C3S infrastructure.

Distributed System with a unique interface offering:

Information about past, present and future climate.

Essential Climate Variables and derived climate indicators.

Observations, global and regional climate reanalyses, global and regional

climate projections and seasonal forecasts.

Authoritative set of software (toolbox) that will allow the users to develop

applications that will make use of the content of the CDS.

CDS will accommodate the needs of the highly diverse set of users that will

include policy makers, experts as well as scientists.

Aim: to generate multi-model seasonal forecast products based on the best

information available, to an operational schedule, and make them publicly available.

Copernicus Climate

Change Service

Components of the seasonal service:

Forecast data: a list of atmosphere (and ocean) variables, on 1x1 degree grid, at daily or sub-daily

resolution, from 6-month forecasts

Graphical products (e.g. time series for indices, maps, climagrams)

Processed data (e.g. indices, probabilities, inputs for SIS)

First set of products will be available starting Q3 2016

Northern Europe; from September 2015

Global Climate Projections:

• Provision of support to one Earth System Grid

Federation (ESGF) node in Europe

• Multi-model product generation

• Roadmap toward a reference set of climate

projections for Europe (EUCP)

(3 contracts under negotiations)

Regional Climate Projections:

• Provide access to existing CORDEX

simulations for European domains and to

boundary conditions derived from GCM

simulation through the CDS.

• Definition and generation of a “3-D matrix”

(RCM/GCM/RCP) of RCM projections.
