The simulations produced in CORDEX are stored in a distributed archive (the Earth System Grid Federation, ESGF) after standardization and curation. However, standardization and archiving are time-consuming processes, and some simulations are only available from the local providers (modeling centers). To inform users about the existing simulations, the CORDEX SAT periodically gathers inventories from both sources (ESGF and local providers) domain by domain and make them available in the CORDEX web page.
As of November 2020, there are a total of 665 simulations (including evaluation, historical and scenario runs) in the 14 domains. A total of 22 GCMs have been used to provide driving conditions for over 35 RCMs (including coupled atmosphere-ocean RCMs in the Mediterranean). The table below summarizes the information domain by domain for the different resolutions (0.44º, 0.22º, 0.11º, in rows) and the different scenarios (‘h’: historical, ‘26’: RCP2.6, ‘45’: RCP4.5, and ‘85’: RCP8.5, in columns); note that evaluation runs –driven by the ERA-Interim reanalysis– are not included in the summary but are listed in the detailed tables. ‘R|G’ indicates the number of RCMs|GCMs used in each domain; in the case of the RCMs, different configurations of the same model, e.g. REMO2015 and REMO2009 are counted as different models (details in the full lists). The row ‘total’ indicates the number of simulations available pooling all resolutions (note that the numbers for R|G are not necessarily the sum of the different rows/resolutions, since models can be repeated). Results are shown in two blocks corresponding to the data available at ESGF (left) and the data available directly from modeling centers (right).
