Outreach and Dissemination

• Monitors quality of C3S products and services

• Ensures C3S delivers state-of-the-art climate information to users

• Identifies needs and gaps in service provision

• Bridges Copernicus with the research agenda in Europe (e.g. H2020, national research projects)

• Web content • Public outreach• Coordination with

national outreach• Liaison with public

authorities• Conferences, seminars• Training and education

• ECVs past, present and future

• Observations, reanalyses, predictions, projections

• Derived climate impact indicators

• Tools to support adaptation and mitigation at global and European level

• Open and free access

THE QUESTIONS• Analysis:

• What do the users want?

• What is the scope for each sector?

• Are there any gaps?

• What can we provide in the future?

• Recommendation:

• What climate impact indicators to be implemented within C3S SIS?

• What applications and tools are needed for CDS?

• What new research is needed to fill the gaps?

WP1: STATE OF THE ART

• Desk study to summarise current knowledge

• "market potential" study, with international and cross-sector

scope, to provide a baseline for assessing the economic

impact of the C3S in future.

• Define a best practice approach to:

• Engagement

• Feasibility study and market assessment

WP3: ENGAGEMENT IN EACH SECTOR

• Driven by sector

leaders

• Working in close

partnership with

“sector champions”

• Bottom-up approach

• Series of Workshops

• Use cases

• Recommendations

WP4: REQUIREMENTS FOR PRESENTATION

• Evaluation and recommendation of:

• ways of presenting information through the CDS and

other portals – what do users need to be able to utilize

the products?

• Ways of defining the quality of products – what do

users require in terms of “trustworthiness of the

produces?

C3S 52 Lot 3 EQC - Applications This ITT was deemed to be launched prematurely - On hold and will be re-issued

C3S 52 Lot 2 will inform future ITT of EQC gaps. Lot 3 also has dependencies on CDS toolbox development, pocSIS functionality and C3S 51 tool developments.

C3S 23CDS - Software Infrastructure Development

KO 1st July No critical dependency in the CDS POC phase. In operational phase of the CDS requirements from C3S 52 Lot 2 will help with functionality, dataset definition etc.

C3S 25CDS - Application Software development

KO 1st Sept

C3S 52 Lot 2 main interaction with CDS development is via toolbox contract. Toolbox development will be agile - driven by user cases, including, where relevant those defined in C3S 52 Lot 2, C3S 51. Relationship with this lot managed by ECMWF

of scientific/technical constraints

& market potential

• Check use cases & CIIs meet

the needs of a broader set of

users

• Assess modifications required to

make CIIs more usable

• Identify additional use-cases
