Science Highlights

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.

New deadline for comments is 31 May 2024.

The Second Order Draft (SOD) of the CORDEX-CMIP6 archiving specifications for dynamical downscaling was shared with the CORDEX community in November 2023. We are very grateful to all who have read the SOD in detail and provided valuable comments. The final version of the CORDEX-CMIP6 archiving specifications for dynamical downscaling is ready and hereby we share it with the CORDEX community.

How to provide CORDEX-CMIP6 data

The First Order Draft (FOD) of the CORDEX-CMIP6 Archiving Specifications for dynamical downscaling was shared with the CORDEX community in February 2023. We are very grateful to all who read the archiving specifications in detail and provided comments. The Second Order Draft (SOD) of the new CORDEX-CMIP6 Archiving Specifications for dynamical downscaling is ready and we share it with the CORDEX community for comments.
Please note that some parts of the specifications are still under development.

An updated version of the Med-CORDEX-CMIP6 baseline run protocol has been posted recently on zenodo. This protocol concerns only fully-coupled Atm-Land-River-Ocean RCM simulations that is the focus of Med-CORDEX. The document includes the links to the Data Requests for atmosphere, land, river, aerosol and ocean variables. You can find this version here: https://zenodo.org/record/7125233 (this link is permanent and will always point towards the last version of the protocol). All information about this new phase of Med-CORDEX can be found on the community zenodo page; https://zenodo.org/communities/medcordex/

Finally, we have published our white paper on CMIP6 GCM selection and Matrix design for EURO-CORDEX.
Please share widely. We also hope this approach and the accompanying tools can be of use for other CORDEX domains.
A huge thank you to all who contributed their time and their ideas to this project.
