Ongoing projects

ENRICH

The objective of the "Engaging researchers and coastal population in communicating Oceanʼs role on Human Health" project is to engage researchers and the coastal population to effectively communicate and disseminate research-based knowledge on climate related changes in the ocean and its implications on human health vulnerability.

NorESM4CMIP7

The project "Norwegian Earth System Modeling for CMIP7" will prepare and calibrate NorESM to conduct core simulation of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project 7 (CMIP7), which is pivotal for climate change assessments such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It will perform sensitivity experiments to provide robust, international scientific consensus on required emissions reductions to meet the Paris Agreement Targets.

INES2

The project "Infrastructure for Norwegian Earth System modelling phase 2" will provide infrastructure for the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) – e.g. documentation, efficiency, storage and validation. It will allow NorESM to comply with the high standards of the climate community and advance the capabilities to address a complex set of questions needed for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as the development of Climate services.

SICAP

The "Sea Ice model Calibration for improved Arctic Predictions" project aims to develop an innovative parameters optimization tool for sea-ice models, with two distinct tuning algorithms - the Green's Function and the Dual One-Step-Ahead Ensemble Smoother. This tool will improve the quality of Arctic sea ice predictions and regional/global reanalyses and extend the contribution to the Copernicus Marine Service portfolio.

Arctic-BLISS

The "Arctic atmospheric Boundary Layer Influence in Sea ice ensemble Simulations: a predictability & sensitivity study" project aims to assess the short-term predictability of sea ice drift, a challenging problem posed by the daily to weekly forecasts  in the polar regions. The project will use the state-of-the-art sea-ice model with a brittle rheology, coupled to an interactive atmospheric boundary layer and perform ensemble forecasts to evaluate predictability.

FAIR2Adapt

The multidisciplinary project "FAIR to Adapt to Climate Change" is geared towards transforming data into actionable knowledge to shape climate adaptation strategies. By transforming data into flexible, practical, and resilient climate adaptation strategies, FAIR2Adapt will construct a scalable and extensible model for data sharing that can be adapted to multiple climate adaptation scenarios.    

SEACLIM

The project "European seas climate impact prediction through regional models" (SEACLIM) will provide regional information on future decadal-to-multidecadal changes in the marine environment and related impacts in  European Seas. Leveraging regional ocean models of the Copernicus Marine Service, it will advance the understanding of physical and ecosystem processes to improve regional predictions and projections and develop pre-operational predictions of decadal and multi-decadal changes in the marine environment.

CMEMS SI TAC 25-28

The EU's Earth observation program Copernicus has various working groups and in the project "Copernicus Sea Ice Thematic Assembly Center" work is being done to deliver products that include sea ice satellite data such as weather forecasting in polar regions and marine safety for ships.

Euro-Argo ONE

The international Argo program is a major component of both the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). OneArgo is an upgrade of the Argo program designed to intensify the monitoring of climate change and ocean health. The upgrade includes the Polar Argo mission and BGC Argo programs. The project "Euro-Argo ERIC scaling up for OneArgo Network Extension" aims to set in place the necessary evolutions and step changes towards OneArgo array implementation.

SAMOS

The aim of the "South African Master of Ocean Sciences" project is to establish a master's degree that is internationally recognised, innovative and of high quality. The master's degree will educate researchers who can contribute to the development of a sustainable blue economy, thereby strengthening regional capacity to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
