Climate

VI-SEEM will have strong impact on the Climate Modelling and weather forecasting communities. First, there is significant potential to share best practice and data for local and regional Climate Modelling, Weather forecasting and air quality simulations. The community will benefit from the combination of HPC and Grid computing jointly with the storage facilities as it heavily relies on data from very scattered locations. Additionally, VI-SEEM will create many opportunities for users that have not collaborated before to engage in joint activities: with code repositories and training material for climate models, the VRE will create a highly productive working environment for Climate scientists from the 12 different research groups distributed over 10 countries. Finally, the regional research activity also links into global efforts towards understanding the climatic changes and challenges. The services provided by this community enable contingency planning and help understand climatic conditions within which our future societies will live.
