PRISM: PRogramme for Integrated earth System Modelling
What is PRISM?
PRISM is a proposal to the EU for funding under the Fifth Framework
Programme.
What is the status of PRISM?
PRISM has been favourably evaluated and is currently in the phase of
contract negotiation.
What are the objectives of PRISM?
Following the recommendations of the European climate research community
(Euroclivar, November 1998), it is proposed to undertake a "PRogramme for
Integrated earth System Modelling" as a pilot infrastructure project for
the establishment of a climate research network. The workplan foresees
(i) the creation of a European management structure for developing, coordinating
and executing a long-term programme of European-wide, multi-institutional
climate simulations; (ii) the development of a set of portable climate
community models and associated diagnostic software under standardised
coding conventions that can be accessed by all European scientists; (iii)
the execution of a first suite of joint simulations. PRISM will greatly
enhance the efficiency of earth system modelling in Europe and it will
pave the way for the establishment of a European Climate Computing Facility.
The expected product will be a flexible, efficient, portable, and user
friendly community infrastructure for earth system modelling and climate
prediction.
