COLLABORATION WITH INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS • • International visibility of the HyMeX program • • Integration in broad scientific networks • • Highlight of the main HyMeX scientific objectives • Link with WCRP/GEWEX (energy and water cycle: WG2, WG1) • Endorsment • CEOP/RHP • Link with WWRP/THORPEX (extremes: WG3, WG4, WG5) programs of WMO • Endorsment • T-NAWDEX • Collaboration with MedCLVAR • • 3rd HyMeX workshop sponsorship • • HyMeX representative in the MedCLIVAR steering committee • • Co-organized meeting (e.g. within the Plinius conference in Barcelona • Extend and intensify collaboration with other Mediterranean programs (MOON, MEDEX, …) Coordinated lobbying action
International coll.&funding • US COLLABORATION AND NSF FUNDING FOR US HyMeX • Existing proposal: multi-insititutional pre-proposal to the PIRE program at NSF (collaboration with HyMEX/MERMeX) led by E. Anagnostou, entitled "A US-Mediterranean partnership to advance climate change research through the study of the HYDROlogical cycle, extremes and effects on ecosystem processes in the MEDiterranean Basin-HYDROMED" (4 US institutions + institutions from France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt within the framework of HyMEX and MERMeX initiatives): submitted in February 2009. • Other interest • Precipitation: K. Friedrich (CU Boulder) and J. Wurman (CSWR) - NSF/CSWR DOWs (Doppler on Wheels); J. Van Baelen and US investigator (CSU) - NSF/NCAR wind profiler system and radiosondes (ISS) on a ship; J. Gourley (NOAA/NSSL) - NSSL DOWs; W. Chau-Lee (NCAR)- research interest in a heavy precipitation study over the Med employing ELDORA (NSF/NRL); R. Rotunno (NCAR, research interest); R. Houze (UW), S. Yuter (NCSU) (potential research interest) • Other: A. Mariotti (Univ. of Maryland - climate aspects); V. Kourafalou (Univ. of Miami - air-sea interactions and exchange of waters between the Mediterranean and Black Seas); E. Gruntfest (CSU Colorado Springs - societial impacts)
International coll.&funding • FUNDING AT NATIONAL LEVELS • Identification of possible funding agencies in all countries forming the HyMeX « consortium »e.g. in France, the consortium of the main French agencies (CIO) has evaluated the French direct contribution to HyMeX to ~9 M€ (without salaries) between 2009 and 2015 with a peak of ~8M€ between 2011 and 2013. • Multi-lateral funding: Coordination of national fund raises (ANR, NERC,DFG, …) • PROJETS MÉDITERRANÉENS DE RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE INTER-UNIVERSITAIRE (MERSI) FROM THE AUF (AGENCE UNIVERSITAIRE DE LA FRANCOPHONIE) • 10 funded projects: 50% funding, 36 months max., 3 partners min. (2 from the south), 50 k€ max. deadline: August, 31, 2009 for pre-project. 2-3 HyMeX projects max. • GPS proposal (O. Bock) • Cooperation development with North African countries within HyMeX (visits, grants, workshop, …) in relation with MedCLIVAR networking • Algerian Radar upgrade project
