|---|---|
|
Entity entrusted by the European Commission with the implementation of Destination Earth by means of Contribution Agreements, i.e. ECMWF, ESA and EUMETSAT. |
|
|
Tasks entrusted by the European Commission to ECMWF, ESA, or EUMETSAT under the DestinE Contribution Agreement as specified in Annex I (Technical Annex) of that agreement. |
|
|
ECMWF-developed software library for short-term storage for hierarchically organised meteorological data |
|
|
Logical function supporting a standardised API that provides users with unified access to a variety of datasets from different sources and platforms. Data adaptors are the essential element in the provision of a harmonised interface for the user to data since they facilitate such data access to federated, distributed, diverse and heterogeneous data holdings. HDA is the core function building the Data Lake and Data Warehouse. The HDA API is also supported by the DestinE Platform. |
|
|
Infrastructure denoting distributed, scalable HPC and data handling resources, which offer extreme-scale simulation and observational data generation and processing capability. The HPC Infrastructure in DestinE builds on EuroHPC and European National resources and contributes to federating European HPC and data handling infrastructure resources connected through GEANT. |
|
|
Domain in which the outputs of the DT are expected to enhance the ability to predict the effects of different policy/management scenarios or support the implementation of policies or management decisions. Possible impact sectors include, for example, water management, agriculture and forestry, renewable energy management, air quality management, urban development, maritime or air transport, biodiversity protection, disaster risk mitigation, and climate impact assessments. |
|
|
A contract, purchase order or work order signed between a contractor and an Entrusted Entity under which the contractor provides services, supplies, or works for the implementation of the entrusted tasks, and any amendments thereto. |
|
|
Key Performance Indicators - Indicators which serve for monitoring, reporting and calibrating purposes as well as for assessing the respective benefits realisation process and outcome. |

One of the EuroHPC pre-exascale supercomputers, hosted and operated by CINECA in Bologna, Italy. |
|
|
One of the EuroHPC pre-exascale supercomputers, hosted and operated by CSC IT Center for Science in Kajaani, Finland. |
|
|
Field of statistical research focused on training computational algorithms that split, sort and transform data to maximize the ability to classify, predict, cluster or discover patterns in a target dataset (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-0912-1). It is fundamentally a data-driven approach. |
