Roadmap idea submission form

Please complete the following fields to submit an idea for the community roadmap of challenges to overcome and actions to strengthen the observational-modelling interface critical to our understanding of climate change. There is no restriction on the number of ideas an individual can submit. ROADMAP PUBLICATION The community roadmap is published online, open to all, and is being used to support evolving GCOS, WCRP CMIP and ESMO, GEO and ESA work programmes. It is available at: https://wcrp-cmip.org/om-roadmap Submissions are subject to moderation. Irrelevant submissions will not be published in the community roadmap. DATA PROTECTION NOTICE The data collected from this form by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project International Project Office (CMIP IPO) will be stored only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. However, your data will be automatically deleted on closure of the CMIP-IPO project at ESA, scheduled for 28th February 2027. Personal data will only be shared and handled with the CMIP Panel, WGCM Infrastructure Panel (WIP), WCRP secretariat and other World Café event partners ESA Climate Office, GEO and GCOS for purposes of session reporting and roadmap production. If information we have about you is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete you have the right to have it rectified. For this, and any other requests, concerns, or questions regarding this notice please contact cmip-ipo@esa.int.

Roadmap timeframe
If suggested actions span multiple timeframes, select the earliest relevant timeframe.
If there are any external deadlines that would impact on, or are dependencies relevant to your idea.
Involves
Communities that the idea/action is relevant to (optional) - select all that apply
  • Modellers
  • In-situ observations
  • Satellite observations
  • Data infrastructure
  • End-user
Priority/Game-changer?
(optional) Indicate here if you think this is a priority for the roadmap and/or should be identified as a game-changer. Game-changer is considered to be something that, if resource constraints were removed, would help expedite/open up new opportunities/trigger entirely different approach/new paradigm.
Community action needed
Select all that apply
  • Workforce planning (skills/numbers)
  • Training
  • Scientific frontier to be advanced/evolved
  • Technological frontier to be advanced/evolved
  • Collaboration required
  • Collaboration existing (must sustain)
  • Collaboration to be developed
Action needed
Please share ideas for action required to address the challenge/implement your idea. If there are multiple timeframes involved list the relevant timeframe per action. TIP: Click on ¶ for bullet point and other formatting options. Please note this is included in the community roadmap.
