A climate service for ecologists: sharing pre-processed EURO-CORDEX regional climate scenario data using the eLTER Information System

Abstract. eLTER was a “Horizon 2020” project with the aim of advancing development long-term ecosystem research infrastructure in Europe. This paper describes how Information System has been expanded by climate service data product providing access to specifically pre-processed regional change scenario from state-of-the-art model ensemble Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) for 702 registered ecological sites across tailored, expandable, easily accessible dataset follows FAIR principles and allows researchers describe at these sites, explore future projections different scenarios make assessments impact studies. The each site are available download EUDAT collaborative B2SHARE can be accessed visualised through Dynamic Ecological Management – Site Dataset Registry (DEIMS-SDR), web-based information management system which shares detailed metadata on around globe. they users extended architecture. supporting B2SHARE. Each individual (702 available) its own DOI. To aid discovery, persistent lookup table created matches DOIs record DEIMS ID. is https://doi.org/10.23728/b2share.bf41278d91b445bda4505d5b1eaac26c (eLTER EURO-CORDEX Climate Service, 2020).
