WP8 – Tailored seasonal to multi-decadal forecasts and multi-decadal to centennial scenarios for key climate and biogeochemical drivers of marine ecosystems

We will assess the seasonal to decadal predictability and climate change (limits and uncertainties) of key climate and biogeochemical drivers for marine ecosystems (such as water temperature or net primary production) using three seasonal or decadal forecast systems based on the new generation of ESMs prepared for CMIP6 in other EU- funded projects (CRESCENDO, PRIMAVERA, PREFACE); and ii) deliver multi-model predictions and scenarios from seasonal to multi-decadal timescales and associated uncertainties for key climate and biogeochemical drivers to relevant stakeholders.
