CONFESS
CONsistent representation of temporal variations of boundary Forcings in reanalysES and Seasonal forecasts
CONFESS is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement, under the call “Copernicus evolution: Research activities in support of the evolution of the Copernicus services”.
CONFESS will improve the reliability and usability of information provided by the Copernicus Climate Change service by capitalising on the synergies between Copernicus services, and pave the way for a continuous evolution of the service.

Results Highlights
Vegetation dataset of Land Use/Land Cover and Leaf Area Index
A new deliverable provides the land use land cover data based on the ESA-CCI/C3S, and the Leaf Area Index data for the period of 1993 to 2019, based on harmonization of the CGLS/C3S data and the AVHRR based data. These data will be prescribed into the offline and coupled model to assess the impact of … Continue reading Vegetation dataset of Land Use/Land Cover and Leaf Area Index
Experimental protocol for land and aerosol forcing re-forecasts
Several sets of experiments are planned. A first category of experiments relate to developments in WP1 on the representation of time-varying land use and vegetation in land surface models and reanalyses.
