CMCC, Italy; National Center for Atmospheric Research, USA
The EuroMediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) is the main italian institution working on studying climate variations, both natural and anthropogenic, including their impacts on the ecosystems, society and the economic sectors. The Center is channeling fundamental research and innovation results into applications for the development of climate services and predictions from the seasonal scale to the long term scenarios scale. CMCC is also active in global and regional ocean predictions at shorter scale (up to 10 days), developing basic data and applications for offshore operations, search and rescue, emergency handling and security. The talk will give an overview of the science activity and application being done at CMCC.
