Points of Contact (POCs) are key for the coordination of regional domains, but also for cross domain activities. The latest POC meeting was held online, bringing together 20 researchers from 10 different CORDEX domains. Organized by the CORDEX SAT, these meetings aim to enhance cross-domain collaboration and engagement.

This session focused on preparing for the selection of driving global models in key initiatives, such as the CORDEX Task Forces on CORDEX-CORE and CORDEX-CMIP7. A comprehensive collection of domain-relevant processes and corresponding metrics is currently being developed as an outcome of the meeting. These metrics will contribute to the CORDEX Task Forces and also to the CMIP Rapid Evaluation Framework, which will assess the upcoming CMIP7 models.

During the meeting, the SAT also introduced existing tools developed for CORDEX-CMIP6 and common for all regional domains. These resources, available to CORDEX PoCs and researchers, support various technical aspects, from model registration to simulation monitoring.
