The CORDEX-CMIP6 Archiving Specifications for dynamical downscaling now published

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.

Second Order Draft (SOD) of the new CORDEX-CMIP6 Archiving Specifications for dynamical downscaling open for comments

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

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/

White paper on CMIP6 GCM selection and Matrix design for EURO-CORDEX published!

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.

Information on CORDEX CMIP6 simulation plans and status is available!!

Dear CORDEX community!

Now the information on CORDEX CMIP6 simulation status is available!!

You can see the regional simulations/downscalings of CMIP that are planned for your domain here 

The simulations status is listed as;
• Full list of simulations
• Summary by domain
• Summary by scenario
• Summary by experiment

Thanks to all who has contributed! This simulation status platform will be a living site and evolve as simulations are completed, status changed or new simulation plans are added. To keep this alive we need your help!! Please, give your input here if you want to contribute by adding or updating your simulations.

 

This page also includes information on the CORDEX CMIP5 simulations available from ESGF, thus providing a live version of the inventory of simulations provided here.
