09/10/2014 ACC cross-cutting activity The « Paris bureau » H. Le Treut
Brief elements of context • The « Paris bureau »: legacy, from SPARC, then « COPES bureau », then home of « ACC crosscutting activities » (but also general support to general WCRP activities) - funding by CNRS/CNES - a dedicated person: Catherine Michaut • An ACC crosscut ? Historically two roles: identify gaps advertize WCRP activity
Two focused objectives: 1. Hosting/organizing workshops on key gaps concerning ACC: key processes, interface between core projects, interface between WCRP and other partners 2. Providing information concerning WCRP implications in ACC studies (Web pages hosted by Catherine Michaut) http://wcrp.ipsl.jussieu.fr/
Workshops • The bureau organized so far about 7 workshops or meetings. May organize one or two per year • 2009 : Toulouse meeting that lead to Cordex • 2010: Upcoming Lille meeting (June) • Key issues for the coming year? • The use of CMIP5 / AR5 simulations for interdisciplinary studies • Climate Services in the context of ACC • Determined by a JSC sub-group (teleconferences): Ramaswamy, G. Flato, F. Giorgi, H. Le Treut, T. Busalacchi + G. Asnar
Information • Web pages dedicated to ACC-related WCRP research Input necessary from the different projects and activities: 1 page of summary (with links) + 1 page for relevant projects, actions • Leaflets ? (COP in Copenhagen?)
