Ocean - CMCC

Latest News

Predicting sea ice variability in the Antarctic Seas is still challenging for climate sciences. A work of the CMCC Foundation contributes to improving the decadal predictability of Antarctic sea-ice by demonstrating that predictions are more accurate when subsurface ocean temperature and salinity are available and properly considered by models.

Antarctic ice: a better knowledge of the ocean improves the predictability of sea ice variability

Two CMCC ocean forecasting systems have been used in real time to monitor and forecast an extreme Acqua Alta event occurring in Venice on 22 November 2022.

Sea level has risen over 20 centimeters globally since 1880, and this process is accelerating. The scientific community can now rely on more data than ever to produce usable knowledge, and pushes the ambition to find solutions by getting science together with policy-making. In a two-day international conference organized by the Knowledge Hub on Sea Level Rise in Venice scientists, professionals and stakeholders engaged in a productive dialogue, sharing the latest global and local data on sea level rise and assessing the possible future scenarios for climate change mitigation and adaptation in European coasts.

The sea is rising: the science-policy dialogue in the oldest city of the future

More than 300 participants will dig into the latest data and assess the future scenarios for mitigation of climate change effects on our coasts.
