The Copernicus Climate Data Store Workshop was held at ECMWF from 3 to 6 March 2015.
ECMWF has been entrusted by the European Commission to implement the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The aim of the C3S is to provide European stakeholders, including public authorities, businesses and citizens, with access to authoritative information about climate change and its impact on society.
The development of the C3S is now underway and one of the first activities involves the design and development of the C3S portal and underlying Climate Data Store, a distributed facility for providing information about past, present and future climate in terms of Essential Climate Variables and derived climate indicators.
Workshop description
The aim of the workshop was to discuss the development of these systems.
The format of the workshop was a mix of presentations and working group discussion sessions. The workshop programme had three broad themes: 'User expectations'; 'Existing Climate Service Providers' and 'Industry Perspectives'.
