CORDEX is launching a new Task Team (TT) to define the experimental protocols and technical documentation for the new CORDEX-CMIP7 experiment, building on the CMIP6 framework while expanding to incorporate new model components and scientific priorities. The TT will also oversee the maintenance of the underpinning repositories and coordinate with ESGF to ensure the infrastructure required for storing and publishing CORDEX-CMIP7 data is robust and accessible. Don’t miss the opportunity to join this group of experts!

Would you like to engage in and contribute to WCRP Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) development as a member of the CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT)? The call for nominations is open until 31 October 2025 and self-nominations are welcomed.

To know more, view the open call and apply online. If you cannot access the google form, please used the PDF for offline applications.

The Asia Climate Risk and Impact Strategic Workshop will take place 25-27 November 2025 in Quy Nhon, Vietnam as a part of the 5th international Vietnam Conference of Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has been hosting the International Project Office (IPO) for CORDEX for more than 10 years and we are now in the process of dismantling and handing over. During the transition period until a new IPO is established the WCRP Secretariat together with the IPO for Regional Information for Society (RIfS) will handle the administration and coordination of CORDEX activities. The email address ipoc@cordex.org is still valid, however emails will be forwarded to and handled by Maureen Wanzala at the WCRP Secretariat from 11 July 2025. For urgent questions you could also contact the WCRP Secretariat directly at wcrp@wmo.int or the RIfS IPO at info@wcrp-rifs.org
You can also reach out to one of the Science Advisory Team members , any of the CORDEX Points of Contact for your domain or the coordinators of the Task Forces. For specific Flagship Pilot Study issues you can contact the FPS PIs.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions can be found under FAQ General and FAQ Data and Access and on github CORDEX discussions.

Since this is the last news published by us at SMHI all of us that have worked at the Project Office during these years would like to thank all of you for the great engagement and fruitful collaboration. It has been a pleasure to work with you!

SMHI and the IPO staff will continue to work with communication, coordination and capacity building on climate research as well as climate modelling within CORDEX groups and we hope that we will meet and collaborate with you again in the future!

CORDEX is involved in the organisation of the Asia Climate Risk and Impact Strategic Workshop that will be part of the 5th international Vietnam Conference on Earth and Environmental Sciences 2025 held in November in Quy Nhon.

If so, your inputs would be greatly appreciated !

As part of the joint CLIVAR-OMDP and RIfS-CORDEX Task Force on Regional Ocean Climate Projections, we are assembling a record inventory of regional ocean model projection simulations as both a resource for the regional ocean modeling community, to inform recommendations regarding community needs and priorities.

We are collecting information for this inventory by way of voluntary survey with the intent of making synthesized information publicly available via the Task Force web page.

You’re invited to take the survey using the QR code below or using directly this link https://forms.office.com/e/18yxHGqWPZ :

Please submit your response by 1 July 2025.

The survey only takes less than 10 minutes to complete.

Please fill free to forward this survey to potentially interested colleagues and modeling programs.
