The CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT) invites you to submit new proposals for Flagship Pilot Studies (FPS).

This FPS call includes two parts:

  1. Open Topic Submission: Suggest a topic of your choice that aligns with the FPS Criteria & Guidelines.

  2. Climate Risks Focus: CORDEX particularly encourages proposals that address Climate Risks and Climatic Hazards. These hazards, such as tropical cyclones, heatwaves, extreme wind storms, droughts, fires, and orography-induced events like extreme rainfall-related floods, landslides, and downslope winds, require high-resolution models for accurate simulation and prediction. CORDEX is inviting FPS proposals that aim to:

    • Assess and improve the simulation of climatic hazards
    • Understand projected future changes
    • Quantify the added value of high-resolution/process-resolving models in simulating these hazards

Proposals addressing the unique challenges faced by Small Islands are particularly welcomed.

Additional Details:

  • Review Process: Proposals will be reviewed and endorsed by the CORDEX SAT, with input from selected external reviewers.

  • Submission Information: For detailed instructions on submitting your proposal and to access the application template, visit the Experiment Guidelines/Flagship Pilot Studies section on the CORDEX website www.cordex.org.

Deadline for Applications: Wednesday, 21 August 2024.

Successful proposals will be presented on the CORDEX website.
