The Weather-Induced Extremes Digital Twin - sharpening the prediction of extreme weather and its impacts
The DestinE Digital Twin for Weather-Induced Extremes (Extremes DT) supports rapid decision-making in response to meteorological, hydrological and air quality extremes. It currently comprises a global component, producing simulations at resolutions of a few kilometres up to four days ahead. An on-demand regional component (On-Demand Extremes DT) will follow in Phase 2, producing simulations at hundreds of metres up to two days ahead. This regional component will be able to be configured and activated on demand, enabling zooming in on extreme events happening in Europe. Several impact sector models for floods, air-quality and renewable energy will be added to both components.
The data portfolio on the DestinE Service Platform can be found here with the specific description of the Extremes DT here.
Users are reminded of the specific data policy for Destination Earth data, in particular under Article 3 of the Terms & Conditions.
