7. H2020 Projects
CLARA
Decadal
forecast
S2S4E
Subseasonal to
seasonal forecast
Focusing on specific post-processing for each forecast horizon

8. C3S products we use
ERA5
(ERA5-LAND)
Seasonal
Forecast
(Projections)
Reanalysis for downscaling forecasts and projections

9. OUR CDS WISHLIST

10. Fill the forecasts gaps
(Subseasonal) Seasonal Decadal Projections
Decadal would be a breakthrough, subseasonal exists (s2s, ecmwf)
but would benefit from C3S context

11. Specific projections
Sea level
Storm surges
Forest fire
index
Storm
Tracks
Coming up in SIS … but from different services (coherency ?)

12. WHAT MORE
FROM C3S?

13. Community management
Promote commercial C3S based services & products
From visibility to eventual certification & revenue sharing
Support
Data management
services &
Toolbox developpers
Reference
Commercial data,
products & services
based on C3S
Marketplace
Commercial data,
products & services
based on C3S

14. WHAT MORE FROM
OTHER INITIATIVES?

15. Market management
Make those H2020 projects operational
CS Observatory
H2020 MARCO & EUMACS
(market monitoring)
CS Marketplace
H2020 CLARITY (?)
(matchmaking)

16. Institutional boost of adaptation
Project finance
e.g. development banks
and structural funds
Make impact studies on
projects mandatory
Legislation
e.g. TCFDs
Make climate related
finance disclosures
mandatory
Standards
e.g. ISO & Business
continuity Mgt
Mainstream
adaptation practices
As cleantech benefited from mitigation regulations,
climate services require adaptation mandatory measures to be mainstreamed

17. Market management through a marketplace and an observatory
C3S: New forecasts decadal and subsesonal
C3S: Community management to give providers visibility
TO SUM UP
Institutional boost through legislation, project finance and standards
