nextGEMS | next Generation Earth Modelling Systems

🔔 Don't miss our joint seminar next week! 🔜 Join us on July 15th, as we delve into the fascinating world of #EarthSystemModelling and #ClimateScience with EERIE I European Eddy-Rich Earth System Models. This weekly seminar series called "Storms, Eddies and Science" explores the cutting-edge research topics our projects are tackling 💡 CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

💡Why are high-resolution simulations on land important? 🌐 Global simulations developed by #nextGEMS at the kilometer-scale are being used to understand critical Earth System dynamics in the land-based water cycle. These simulations capture details like rainfall patterns and the resulting river discharges. 🌧️ By understanding these dynamics, we can evaluate the water balance of specific regions, such as the Amazon River or the Rhine basin. Furthermore, these kilometer-scale simulations improve the timing and location of rainfall forecasts, which is crucial for understanding water discharge. 🏞️ 📽️ Learn more about the importance and impact of our #EarthSystemModels in our Science Explainer video for Storms & Land. Project partner Imme Benedict, from Wageningen University, will guide you through. ▶️ https://buff.ly/3LeYlUt #StormsResolving #H2020 #ClimateScience #ClimateModelling #Weather #ClimateChange #Floods #Topography CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

🌍✨ Discover the Invisible Forces Shaping Our Climate: Aerosols! ✨🌍 Our latest blog post dives deep into the critical role #aerosols play in our climate system. Despite their tiny size, these particles have a massive impact on weather patterns, cloud formation, and global temperatures. Learn how #nextGEMS is revolutionizing climate modeling by integrating aerosols interactively in high-resolution simulations, providing unprecedented insights into their complex dynamics.

Who are Scientific Programmers? 🧐 ⏯ In this insightful video, Max Planck Society for Meteorology (MPI-Met) portrays the essential work undertaken by scientific programmers: building and running climate models. 🌐 Without them, leveraging cutting-edge technology to advance our comprehension and forecasts of Earth's climate — such as in nextGEMS — would not be possible. 🌍 ❓Interested? 👩💻 Our partner institution is currently looking for three highly motivated scientific programmers, and you could be one of them! More details here: https://buff.ly/3zwfzdn 📽 Watch the video and learn more about the pivotal role scientific programmers play in developing and operating climate models! https://buff.ly/3LbSNtS #JobOpportunity #SoftwareProgrammer #ClimateScience #ClimateModelling #OpenPosition

📆 The next #ScienceArt piece from our #nextGEMS calendar, created by researcher Lukas Kluft, paints a scene where Potential Vorticity (PV) softly visualises #eddies in the ocean. 🌀 💡PV in weather is like the spin of swirling water in a sink, but also considering how deep the water is. More spin or shallower water makes a stronger swirl, just like high PV areas in the #atmosphere are linked to intense weather systems. 🥼Commonly, scientists use PV as a measure to predict storms. #H2020 #EarthSystemModelling #SciCom #ClimateScience #StormsResolvingModels #Weather #Climate #Storms

A new generation of Earth Visualisation Engines (#EVE) is in the making and promises to play a vital role in addressing the challenges posed by #climatechange. Our latest blog post sumarizes a talk given by Prof. Dr. Daniela Jacob, Director of the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), about the potential of a partnership between EVE and #CORDEX, the Coordinated Regional Climte Downscaling Experiment.

💡Curious about aerosols? 📽️ In this video, project partners Philip Stier and Philipp Weiss from the University of Oxford describe them. 🔎 #Aerosols are tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere that can be originated from natural sources, like desert dust or volcanic eruptions, or from human-made activities, such as the burning of #fossil fuels. 🏭 These fine particles reside typically for days to weeks, before falling to the ground or being washed out by rain or snow. Visible forms of atmospheric aerosol plumes include smoke, smog, haze, and dust. 💨 ▶️ Enhance your understanding of aerosols by watching how they are implemented into the storm-resolving models #nextGEMS is currently developing, in this #ScienceExplainer: https://buff.ly/3RETRtM #ClimateScience #StormResolvingModelling #ClimateChange #ClimateModelling #Weather #Pollution

💡Have you ever heard of knowledge co-production? In this video, researcher Dragon Bojović from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, addresses this important concept. 💬 It refers to the essential collaboration between scientists and various societal groups — like #citizens, businesses and policy-makers — to transform useful scientific data into usable information and knowledge. 🔎 🔷 Within #nextGEMS, there is a specific theme being addressed by the Storms & Science team, which sheds light on knowledge co-production, bridging science and #society together. 📽️ https://buff.ly/3KQ1SIy #ClimateScience #StormsResolvingModelling #H2020 #ScienceVideo #EarthSystemModelling
