Datasets

This dataset provides daily gridded data of sea ice edge and sea ice type derived from brightness temperatures measured by satellite passive microwave radiometers. Sea ice is an important component of our climate system and a sensitive indicator of climate change. Its presence or its retreat has a strong impact on air-sea interactions, the Earth’s energy budget as well as marine ecosystems. It is recognized by the Global Climate Observing System as an Essential Climate Variable. Sea ice edge and type are some of the parameters used to characterise sea ice.

This dataset provides monthly gridded data of sea ice thickness for the Arctic region based on satellite radar altimetry observations. Sea ice is an important component of our climate system and a sensitive indicator of climate change. Its presence or its retreat has a strong impact on air-sea interactions, the Earth’s energy budget as well as marine ecosystems. It is recognized by the Global Climate Observing System as an Essential Climate Variable.

The leaf area index determines the degree of evapotranspiration. The index varies in a climatological way in the model, month by month (and so will not change in a different way if there is anomalous weather)...

The height of topography above mean sea level and the depth of the sea for each model grid box ...

The nextGEMS data is aligned with the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin. The DestinE Digital Twin for Climate Change Adaptation (Climate DT) supports adaptation activities by providing innovative climate information on multi-decadal timescales, globally, at scales at which many impacts of climate change are observed.

Soil moisture handling in the model is complex, and could be highlighted in many ways. Here a 'relativistic' approach is used for display, showing not absolute values, but instead...

An eddy-permitting ocean reanalysis spanning the period 1979–2012. Includes increased horizontal and vertical resolution, an prognostic sea-ice component, new versions of the ocean and data assimilation system, revised surface fluxes, new version and treatment of satellite sea surface height data, and assimilation of sea-ice concentration, among others.

The DestinE Digital Twin for Weather-Induced Extremes (Extremes DT) supports responding and adapting to extreme events in a changing world by providing a capability to produce tailored simulations and address what-if scenarios related to extreme events in a past, present and future climate, complementing existing capabilities at national and European level.
