FOCAL
Efficient exploration of climate data locally
Access to climate data and services is often confined to scientists and modelling experts. However, it should also be available locally to improve societal resistance to climate change. Consequently, the EU-funded FOCAL project aims to establish an open platform that incorporates intelligent workflow management with high-performance computing infrastructures and AI analyses. Focusing on urban planning and forestry, it intends to provide reliable climate impact assessments at the local level based on earth observation and system modelling data. It also encourages web/cloud app development through a co-design process with urban planners and foresters and supports developers, especially SMEs, by providing services, modules, tools and workflows that can be integrated into their own solutions.
