Infrastructure for the European Network for Earth System

IS-ENES

Introduction



ENES http://

www.enes.org• An informal network of European groups and institutes interested in climate and Earth system modeling

Launched in 2001 by Guy Brasseur (MOU)

• Approximately 40 groups from academic, public and industrial world

• Main focus : discuss strategy to accelerate progress in climate and Earth system modeling and understanding

• Several EU projects PRISM, ENSEMBLES, METAFOR, COMBINE, IS-ENES

[ESMVAL, EUCLIPSE]Support to PRACE & DEISA2

Scientific Board : S. Joussaume, J.C. André, J. Mitchell, T. Palmer,

J. Marotzke, R. Budich, A. Navarra, P. Kabat



Challengesfor the ESM community

To improve our understanding and prediction of future climate changes :

- better account for the the full complexity of the Earth system- better account for climate change on regional scales- enhance interactions with the impact community - disseminate knowledge on climate change

European competitiveness and expertise: - Improve research infrastructure :

models & world-class high-performance computers- Contribute to international expertise : CMIP5/IPCC AR5- Better integrate countries new to the subject



Infrastructure for ENES

• Euroclivar Concerted Action recommended in 1998

“a better integration of the European modelling effort with respect to human potential, hardware and software”.

- develop collaboration - establish a European climate computing facility,

- enhance the exchange of software and model results.

• First started with PRISM under FP5 : common coupler OASIS

• ENES in 2001

1- Foster the integration Network and Service Activities NA1, NA2, NA3 & SA1

• Further integrate the European climate/ESM community, – development of the future ENES strategy

ESMs, high-performance computing– exchange of expertise

Access to information, network of experts– training activities : summer schools

• Develop a virtual Earth System Modelling Resource Centre – integrate the distributed facilities (existing/developed)e-infrastructure (models, tools, data, compute resources)



2- Foster the development of ESMsNetwork, Service and Joint Research Activities NA2, NA3,

SA1, JRA1 & JRA3

• Increase the services around ESMs:– enhance model documentation – develop a service on common tools and model components

OASIS, NEMO, CDOTowards ESM service ?

• Foster the joint development and common evaluation of the European ESMs – ESM software environment tools to prepare, run, store, evaluate and exploit model

simulations – ESM components



3- Foster high-end simulationsNetwork and Joint Research Activities NA1 & JRA2

• Ensure an efficient access and execution of ESMs on high-performance computing facilities

– Develop a common strategye.g. “Scientific case”, needs

– Enhance the interface with the EU large infrastructures DEISA2 and PRACE

Community representative– Ease access to the EU large infrastructures – Improve model performance on different computer

architectures



4- Foster the application of ESM simulationsNetwork, Service and Joint Research Activities NA1,

SA2, JRA4 & JRA5 • Enhance the dissemination of model results:

– enhance the service around model results – Develop more efficient tools to access data

• Enhance the interaction with decision makers and user communities, mainly concerned by climate change impact studies:– Delivery of “position papers”– Service activity – Prototype services for impact studies
