One year with CORDEX

Happy new year! As the new year begin let’s look back on the CORDEX news from 2023. Read, among other things, about ICRC-CORDEX 2023, Coordinated Research Activities Were Discussed at the Polar CORDEX Meeting and CORDEX at EGU23.

Happy Holidays from the International Project Office for CORDEX!

The CORDEX office will be unmanned during the period 22 December until 7 January.

For matters regarding CORDEX data access please see CORDEX data access  and/or our FAQ 

For other CORDEX matters please take a look at the general FAQ , contact one of our Points of Contacts (POCs)  or one of our Science Advisory Team (SAT) members.

For more WCRP-related matters you can turn to the WCRP secretariat wcrp@wmo.int.

See you after the holidays!

Workshop in Uzbekistan on Climate Data Analyses and Downscaling

The CORDEX workshop on Climate Data Analyses and Downscaling is held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan this week, 27-29 November.
The workshop is organized by the CORDEX Central Asia domain led by our Central Asia Point of Contact, Shaukat Ali, together with Michelle Reboita from Brazil who is actively involved in the CORDEX South American domain. Around 40 local participants from different parts of Uzbekistan are attending the event.

The agenda includes for instance technical sessions on Climate System & Data Analyses and CORDEX Activities Progress in Different Domains with hands on sessions on How to download CMIP6 and CORDEX data and prepare files as well as a hands on session on Dynamical downscaling using Regional Climate Model. Besides these hands on sessions the participants will also get presentations on CORDEX work both globally and within the different domains. Science to policy communication and future collaboration will be discussed during the last day.

This is the first time a CORDEX workshop is held in the Central Asia domain, while workshops like these are common within most of the CORDEX domains. The workshops are an important part of the CORDEX effort to build capacity and share knowledge about regional climate downscaling and regional climate information.

Call for abstracts: Regional Climate Modeling, including CORDEX session at EGU General Assembly 2024

You are invited to submit your abstract for the session CL5.5/Regional Climate Modeling, including CORDEX: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/49396 at next year’s EGU General Assembly, 14-19 April 2024 in Vienna.
This session welcomes papers on methodological developments in regional climate modeling, performance analysis of RCMs, use of RCMs for regional processes studies, past and future climate projections as well as studies on extreme events and impact assessment. Additionally, the session encourages submissions related to the CORDEX program, including the analysis of CORDEX-CORE experiments and simulations within the framework of different CORDEX Flagship Pilot Studies. We anticipate that this session will provide a platform for discussing the progress of RCM-related research and fostering future collaborations.
The final submission deadline is 13:00 CET, 10 January 2024, 13:00 CET, but if you wish to apply for travel support from EGU you must submit by 1 December 2024, 13:00 CET. The General Assembly is being run as a hybrid conference, so you can still present in the session if you are not able to attend in person.
Conveners: Im Eun-Soon, Melissa Bukovsky and Csaba Torma
