CityCLIM<\/h2>\n

Cloud-based weather data for detailed forecasts, action monitoring and public climate services<\/em><\/h3>\n

In densely populated areas in particular, high temperatures last longer and even at night there is often only a slight cooling effect. Against this backdrop and due to the increasing frequency of heatwaves, the EU is funding the CityCLIM project (“Next Generation City Climate Services Using Advanced Weather Models and Emerging Data Sources”) as part of the Horizon 2020 program. Alongside Luxembourg, Valencia and Thessaloniki, Karlsruhe is also a model city and is receiving personnel support for the project. The project partners are developing a cloud-based data platform over three years to enable high-resolution weather forecasts specifically for metropolitan regions. The calculations made with the improved model will then be made available to the general public in the form of various weather and climate services. Among other things, this should make it possible to investigate the effect of urban planning measures in response to climate change. In this context, for example, an analysis of the effects of green and water areas on the urban climate is being considered. After all, heat in cities also has a negative impact on health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/header>\n\n \n
