Open call – new proposal for Flagship Pilot Studies!
The CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT) invites you to submit new proposals for Flagship Pilot Studies!
This FPS call consists of two parts:
An open part where you suggest a topic of your choice as long as it follows the FPS Criteria & Guidelines
A part dedicated to Climate Risks. Climatic Hazards, and in particular their extremes, are responsible for much of the risk to human and natural systems associated with climate variability and change and often require high resolution models to adequately simulate them including their potential changes due to climate change. These hazards include: tropical cyclones, heatwaves, extreme wind storms, drought, fires and orography induced processes such as extreme rainfall related floods and landslides, downslope winds and convection, amongst others. We here encourage FPS proposals that target risk producing climatic hazards including assessing and improving simulations of the hazard, understanding the projected future changes, and quantifying the added-value that high-resolution/process resolving brings to the simulation of the hazards and their changes. CORDEX SAT would also highly appreciate proposals related to Small Islands challenges.
As indicated in the FPS Criteria & Guidelines the FPS proposals will be reviewed and endorsed by the CORDEX SAT, together with selected external reviewers. Further details on the FPS, together with instructions on how to submit your proposal and an application template, can be found under Experiment Guidelines/Flagship Pilote Studies at the CORDEX website www.cordex.org.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 21 August 2024
The successful proposals will be presented at the CORDEX web.
CARE for SEA megacities project workshop – read the summary
The CARE for SEA megacities project of CORDEX Southeast Asia (CORDEX SEA) held an in person three-day training workshop on empirical statistical downscaling (ESD) and urban climate downscaling in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 14-16 May 2024.
Following the inception workshop and stakeholder consultation last year, the training workshop was primarily for members of the CARE for SEA megacities project team, who will be conducting the urban downscaling simulations. The workshop had both lecture and hands-on sessions on ESD, Land Surface Physics-Based Downscaling (LSP-DS) and urban modelling, which will be used in generating city scale climate hazard information for the CARE for SEA megacities project.

The 8th Med-CORDEX workshop successfully held
The 8th international Med-CORDEX Workshop, locally organised by Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) in Rome, Italy, was a successful event. During the three days, 14-16 May 2024, about 60 participants attended onsite and some invited speakers participated online.
One of the CORDEX co-chairs, Daniela Jacob, gave a CORDEX overview online talk on the first day. There were also online talks from invited speakers Robert Vautard (IPCC-WGI co-chair) and Bart van den Hurk (IPCC-WGII co-chair).
On top of the presentations and discussions on coupled CORDEX-CMIP6 baseline runs in Med-CORDEX, there were also more original sessions such as Impact session including coastal risks and coastal cities and the Session on biogeochemical modelling.

Two CORDEX workshops will be held on different sides of the world in 14-16 May
On the 14-16 of May two workshops are planned within the CORDEX domains.
The CARE for SEA megacities: Training Workshop will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Following the inception workshop and stakeholder consultation in Bangkok, Thailand last
November 2023, a three-day training workshop on empirical statistical downscaling (ESD) and
urban climate downscaling will be held. The training workshop is primarily for members of the CARE for SEA
megacities project team, who will be conducting the urban downscaling simulations.
The workshop aims:
- to introduce city-scale urban modeling approaches, including empirical statistical
downscaling (ESD), Land Surface Physics-Based Downscaling (LSP-DS), and Weather
Research and Forecast-Urban (WRF-Urban); - to build capacity of CARE for SEA megacities research team in applying different
downscaling methods, in preparation for the generating city-scale climate change
projections for SEA megacities; - to discuss city-scale resolution downscaling framework for SEA, including protocol for
ESD simulations, specifically for CORDEX-SEA.
On the other side of the world the 8th Med-CORDEX International workshop will be held in Rome, Italy.
The main goal of the workshop is to foster scientific exchanges among the Mediterranean regional climate
modelling community and to configure the near-future of Med-CORDEX in the global context of climate research.
The participants are invited to present their works on the following topics:
- First results based on the Med-CORDEX-CMIP6 baseline run
- New advances in regional climate modelling
- Climate impacts
- Impacts on the coastal zones and coastal cities
- Ocean biogeochemistry at climate scales

New deadline – The second version draft of the CORDEX experiment design and archiving specifications for statistical downscaling of CMIP6 now open for comments!
The CORDEX experiment design and archiving specifications for statistical downscaling of CMIP6 has been developed. The first draft was reviewed by the CORDEX Science Advisory Team and the second version draft is now available for the CORDEX community to comment/give thoughts on!
We would very much appreciate if you would like to take the time to give your comments. The Second version draft is here.
You can leave your comments in this Google form.
If you can´t access Google here is the document in PDF-format and you can send your comments to ipoc@cordex.org
New deadline for comments is 31 May 2024.
