RACE - Regional Atlantic Circulation and Global Change

Working group Experimental Oceanography and Remote Sensing & Assimilation

The main goal of 'RACE' is to create regional high-resolution simulations of future Atlantic circulation changes (from 10 to 100 years) as a part of global change. Another goal is to estimate the repercussions of these changes on the ocean, the climate system and the European shelf area. These investigations include enhancing the understanding of observed processes, which will help to increase the knowledge about the future ocean circulation and its changes. Through this, regional simulations can be improved. This kind of work can only be achieved by a cluster of the main oceanographic institutes in Germany and has to be established on their infrastructure.
