Climate Predictability and Inter-Regional Linkages (Climate 2015)

This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) aimed to contribute to the overall challenge of developing climate services, with a focus on the role of inter-regional linkages in climate variability and predictability by addressing the following:  
  • Understanding past and current variability and trends of regional extremes.
  • Predictability of near-future variability and trends of regional extremes.
  • Co-construction of near-term forecast products with users.
  This CRA was launched in 2015 and ended in 2021. It was supported by:

BMWFW, FAPESP, NSFC, ANR, BMBF, MoES, JST/MEXT, RCN, QNRF, FORMAS, NWO, and NERC

Eight projects were selected:
INTEGRATE An Integrated Data-Model Study of Interactions Between Tropical Monsoons and Extra-Tropical Climate Variability and Extremes
BITMAP Better Understanding of Interregional Teleconnections for Prediction in the Monsoon And Poles
CLIMAX Climate Services Through Knowledge Co-Production: A Euro-South American Initiative for Strengthening Societal Adaptation Response to Extreme Events
GOTHAM Globally Observed Teleconnections and their Role and Representation in Hierarchies of Atmospheric Models
HIWAVES3 High Impact Weather Events in Eurasia Selected, Simulated and Storified
PREREAL Improving Predictability of Circumboreal Forest Fire Activity and its Ecological and Socio-Economic Impacts through Multi-Proxy Data Comparisons
PACMEDY Palaeo-Constraints on Monsoon Evolution and Dynamics
InterDec The Potential of Seasonal-to-Decadal-Scale Inter-Regional Linkages to Advance Climate Predictions
