DKRZ and Climate Research
IS-ENES
Infrastructure for the European Network for Earth System Modelling
IS-ENES is the infrastructure project of the European Network for Earth System Modelling (ENES). It will develop a common climate and Earth system modelling distributed research infrastructure in Europe , integrating the European Earth system models (ESMs) and their hardware, software, and data environments. DKRZ is responible for the development and technical support of the so called virtual Earth System Modelling Resource Centre (v.E.R.C.) which will be the portal and entry point to the services and tools developed within IS-ENES and beyond.
The overarching goal of this e-infrastructure is
- to further integrate the European climate modelling community,
- to ease the development of full ESMs,
- to foster the execution and exploitation of high-end simulations, and
- to support the dissemination of model results and the interaction with the climate change impact community.
IS-ENES is an FP7-Project, funded by the European Commission for 4 years and started in March 2009.
