Session D4: Climate services for transformation using CORDEX datasets: best practices using FAIR principles and innovative tools (online and Trieste)

Location: SISSA Room B

Conveners: Claas Teichmann (GERICS), Armelle Remedio (GERICS), Helena Martins (SMHI), Ángel G. Muñoz (BSC), Lars Buntemeyer (GERICS), Christine Nam (GERICS), Francisco Doblas-Reyes (BSC), Gaby S. Langendijk (GERICS), Katharina Bülow (GERICS), Ludwig Lierhammer (GERICS), Marjana Brkić (CPN), Marta Terrado (BSC), Peter Hoffmann (GERICS), Ross D. Dixon (UNL)

In this session, we want to present and discuss methods and best practices in current climate services as well as an outlook of how future developments can be designed under FAIR conditions. User experiences show an increasing demand for guidance on how to use CORDEX data in climate services which calls for discussions on community work inside and outside of CORDEX and how this can be improved. Furthermore, upcoming simulations for use in climate services should involve users from different backgrounds in a co-production design process to tackle their requirements and provide useful climate services products.

At the end of the session, we will have a discussion round to explore some current developments, and tools and issues when working with regional climate model data and its application in climate services.
