ESiWACE3 celebrates its General Assembly in Hamburg
On November, 12 and 13, 2024, the DKRZ hosted the ESiWACE3 general assembly. The meeting with over 40 participants - 34 of them on site - marked the halfway point of the third funding period of this European center of excellence.
AI in Climate Research: Detecting Climate Extremes
Climate extremes such as heat waves, heavy rainfall or droughts have far-reaching impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, water resources and also on human health. In order to understand recent climate extremes and to be able to assess the resulting climate risks, they must be examined in a historical context. How do these recent extremes compare to past events throughout the 20th Century, and what are the regional variations of the long term trends? To answer this question, data analysts of DKRZ have developed a method that can effectively reconstruct incomplete observation data on climate extremes by using methods of artificial intelligence (AI). The results of the study were published in the internationally renowned journal “Nature Communications” at the end of October 2024.
WarmWorld General Assembly: Half time for the first project phase
From October, 16 to 16, 2024 the WarmWorld General Assembly took place at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven. The project WarmWorld is reaching its halfway milestone within Phase 1, so that the about 80 participants – among them several members of the DKRZ team were going through what already have been achieved during the first phase and what priorities should be set with regards to the application for phase 2.
Successful coding sprint of the CLINT project
As part of the project CLINT (short for: Climate Intelligence), a coding sprint took place from October 7 to 9, 2024 at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) in Bonn to integrate AI-based services developed so far in the project into the ECMWF infrastructure.
Python course for geosciences
For the 7th time, the Python online course for geosciences was offered by the DKRZ in cooperation with the Scientific Computing group from October 8th to 11th, 2024.
