Infrastructure for the European Network for Earth System modelling IS-ENES

1. Infrastructure for the European Network for Earth System modellingIS-ENES Introduction

2. ENES http://www.enes.org • An informal network of European groups and institutes interested in climate and Earth system modeling • Launched in 2001 byGuy Brasseur(MOU) • Approximately 40 groups from academic, public and industrial world • Main focus : discuss strategy to accelerate progress in climate and Earth system modeling and understanding • Several EU projects • PRISM, ENSEMBLES, METAFOR, COMBINE, IS-ENES • [ESMVAL, EUCLIPSE] • Support to PRACE & DEISA2 • Scientific Board : S. Joussaume, J.C. André, J. Mitchell, T. Palmer, • J. Marotzke, R. Budich, A. Navarra, P. Kabat

3. Challengesfor the ESM community To improve our understanding and prediction of future climate changes : - better account for the the full complexity of the Earth system - better account for climate change on regional scales - enhance interactions with the impact community - disseminate knowledge on climate change European competitiveness and expertise: - Improve research infrastructure : models & world-class high-performance computers - Contribute to international expertise : CMIP5/IPCC AR5 - Better integrate countries new to the subject

4. Infrastructure for ENES • Euroclivar Concerted Action recommended in 1998 “a better integration of the European modelling effort with respect to human potential, hardware and software”. - develop collaboration - establish a European climate computing facility, - enhance the exchange of software and model results. • First started with PRISM under FP5 : common coupler OASIS • ENES in 2001

5. Infrastructure for European climate/Earth system models • Users of Infrastructure : • The ESM community ENES • User communities : • Regional climate models • Impact studies Infrastructure : ESMs and ESM environment ESM data Interface with HPC ecosystem

7. IS-ENES Four main objectives: • 1- Foster the integration of the European ESM community • 2- Foster the development of ESMs • 3- Foster high-end simulations • 4- Foster application of ESM simulations for climate change impacts

8. HPC ecosystem PRACE & DEISA2 CIRCE, CECILIA … In link with ENES Impact studies ESMVAL / EUCLIPSE Model evaluation Climate change simulations ESM development COMBINE ENSEMBLES METAFOR Model infrastructure IS-ENES 2009 2012 CMIP5/Prepare IPCC AR5

9. 1- Foster the integration Network and Service Activities NA1, NA2, NA3 & SA1 • Further integrate the European climate/ESM community, • development of the future ENES strategy ESMs, high-performance computing • exchange of expertise Access to information, network of experts • training activities : summer schools • Develop a virtual Earth System Modelling Resource Centre • integrate the distributed facilities (existing/developed) e-infrastructure (models, tools, data, compute resources)

10. 2- Foster the development of ESMsNetwork, Service and Joint Research Activities NA2, NA3, SA1, JRA1 & JRA3 • Increase the services around ESMs: • enhance model documentation • develop a service on common tools and model components OASIS, NEMO, CDO Towards ESM service ? • Foster the joint development and common evaluation of the European ESMs • ESM software environment tools to prepare, run, store, evaluate and exploit model simulations • ESM components

11. 3- Foster high-end simulationsNetwork and Joint Research Activities NA1 & JRA2 • Ensure an efficient access and execution of ESMs on high-performance computing facilities • Develop a common strategy e.g. “Scientific case”, needs • Enhance the interface with the EU large infrastructures DEISA2 and PRACE Community representative • Ease access to the EU large infrastructures • Improve model performance on different computer architectures

12. 4- Foster the application of ESM simulationsNetwork, Service and Joint Research Activities NA1, SA2, JRA4 & JRA5 • Enhance the dissemination of model results: • enhance the service around model results • Develop more efficient tools to access data • Enhance the interaction with decision makers and user communities, mainly concerned by climate change impact studies: • Delivery of “position papers” • Service activity • Prototype services for impact studies
