Galaxy Climate Workbench

Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational research. Researchers are empowered to share their findings. This poster was presented at "CLIMATE FORECASTING FOR ENERGY: ONLINE WORKSHOP"  with an objecctive to initiate new collaborations with energy sector and energy modelling.

The S2S4E project, together with the Open Energy Modelling initiative is hosting a free 1-day workshop on "Climate forecasting for energy" on Friday 4 December 2020, from 10:00-18:00 (CET). The workshop seeks to support the uptake and use of climate information in the energy sector and energy modelling.

Renewable energy is widely seen as a major step towards achieving the goals of the Paris climate agreement. However, renewable energy production is weather-dependent.

Sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) climate forecasts on timescales of weeks to months ahead have the potential to support the management and operation of renewable systems.

This workshop therefore seeks to address the challenges in the use of climate data (particularly S2S forecasts) in energy applications by discussing:

• the science basis of climate forecasting,
• the use of climate data in energy modelling and decision making, and
• state-of-the-art research advances in the use of climate data in energy modelling.
