What is EUCLIPSE?
A (likely) European Commission (EC) sponsored collaborative project
Plans are build on the CFMIP2/GCSS proposals
View it as capacity building around the CFMIP2/GCSS plans
Starting date : Fall 2009/Early 2010
Duration: 4 years.
Budget
Total Budget: 5 Million Euro
Eu Sponsored: 3.5 Million Euro
Involved Institutes: 1.5 Million Euro
Mainly used to hire personel: 42 man year total
Involved Institutes
TOPICS
WP1: Evaluation techniques and climate model experiments
Largely overlapping CFMIP2/GCSS
Extra resources for data hosting and dissemination (DKRZ)
Led by: George Tselioudis (Athens)
WP2: Climate Model Evaluation and Analysis
Extra: cloud aerosol evaluation subproject (Quaas MPI Hamburg)
subproject on evaluation of polar clouds (Svensson, Stockholm)
Led by: Sandrine Bony (IPSL)
WP3: Process Evaluation Analysis
Largely overlapping with present activities discussed in this workshop
Some extra emphasis on ESM evaluation on specific locations: Cloudnet, ARM AMMA,GPCI
Led by: Stephan de Roode (TU Delft)
WP4: Metrics and diagnostics for narrowing uncertainties in clolud climate feedback
Extra: NWP related activities to identify cloud representation biases:
Initial tendency techniques.
Transpose-AMIP type of experiments.
model experiments nudged to reanalysis data.
Led by: Bjorn Stevens (MPI Hamburg)
Outreach Activities
1 or 2 Summerschools
Outreach of model and observational data.
Publications, Websites, Brochures etc……
Conclusions
View EUCLIPSE as a “funded organic outflow” of CFMIP2 that will increase capacity to enlarge the chances of success for the CFMIP2/GCSS plans! (like EUROCS vs GCSS in the past)
