International initiative for coordinated regional climate modeling in the Mediterranean region.

Date: 25-29 Nov 2019

Location: Toulouse, France

The 6th Med-CORDEX workshop was held from November 25 to 29, 2019 in Toulouse (France).

The 6th Med-CORDEX workshop aimed to review the activities of the second phase of Med-CORDEX, including the so-called baseline runs performed with coupled RCSMs and the 3 CORDEX Flagship Pilot Studies (FPS) proposed by Med-CORDEX (FPS-convection, FPS-aerosol, FPS-airsea). Emphasis was put on:

  • multi-model analysis for past and future climate evolutions
  • very-high resolution, convection-permitting climate modelling
  • component interactions (atmosphere, land, ocean, aerosol, biogeochemistry, …) in the Mediterranean regional climate system
  • new ideas and approaches in regional climate modelling
  • use of regional climate models to solve key scientific questions for the Mediterranean region
  • user-oriented approaches, data and metadata availability
  • Med-CORDEX achievements so far and open challenges for the coming years

The workshop consisted of a series of short talks to review the model and run status, scientific talks in targeted sessions, working group discussions, coordination actions, side events of Med-CORDEX related projects such as EUCP and Simed as well as breaks for free interactions.

Researchers interested in Med-CORDEX or CORDEX-FPS modelling activities or in regional climate multi-model analyses and Med-CORDEX data users are welcome.
