REGIONAL ACTIVITY
GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE OF INTERESTSCIENTIFIC FOCUS/THEMEACTIVE SINCE
     
Global
Improves current knowledge and understanding of the temporal dynamics and physical properties of snow as a component of the coupled climate system
2013
Global
Design and implement a means to investigate the interactions between climate mean state and different modes of monsoon variability, thereby furthering monsoon prediction capability
2015
Global
Addresses the CMIP6 science question on investigating the origins and consequences of systematic model biases, by providing a framework for evaluating (including assessment of systematic biases), understanding, and improving ocean, sea‐ice, tracer, and biogeochemical components of climate and earth system models contributing to CMIP6
2016
(Jointly with GODAE OceanView)
Global
Provide a framework for comparison and evaluation of ocean synthesis products
2006
(CLIVAR endorsed project)
Global
Provide a framework for comparison and evaluation of ocean synthesis products
2006
Global
CORDEX encompasses 14 domains across the globe, the IPOC office and SAT coordinates the work within and across the domains
2015
CORDEX CORE Coordinated Output for Regional Evaluations as a contribution to CMIP6 and the IPCC process
Global
A core framework that gives a succinct set of downscalings for each region that also spans plausible ranges of climate change
Probable duration of first stage 2017-2021
Global
Requesting specific CMIP6 output for regional climate downscaling. CORDEX builds on a foundation of previous downscaling intercomparison projects to provide a common framework for downscaling activities around the world
Probable duration of first stage 2017-2021
Global
Outline standards for the incorporation of ESD in CORDEX
2016
CORDEX Science Challenges
Global
The CORDEX Regional Challenges (Added Value, Human element, Coordination of coupled modelling, Precipitation, Local wind systems) provide a focus for downscaling research, to be pursued as complementary to the WCRP Grand Challenges
2016
