Location: Oppenheimer Room
Conveners: Samuel Somot (Med-CORDEX), Marine Herrman (CORDEX South-East Asia), Markus Meier (EURO-CORDEX, Baltic Earth) and Tereza Cavazos (Central America CORDEX).
Since its inception, the CORDEX initiative has focused mainly on continental areas, leaving oceanic areas aside. However, today, the regional climate scientific community is facing more and more questions from citizens and policy makers regarding the necessary adaptation of marine ecosystems and maritime or coastal activities to ongoing and future climate change. This D-session proposes to assess the challenges in regional ocean modeling at climate scale, to identify the obstacles to overcome in order to reach a large-scale international coordination, and to reflect on the opportunity to develop a CORDEX framework for Ocean Regional Climate Modelling.
