Welcome to EC-EARTH Wikipages !
You reached the EC-Earth Wiki. EC-Earth is a project, a consortium and a model system. The EC-Earth model is a state-of-the-art earth system model based on ECMWFs Seasonal Forecasting System. The baseline model is further developed into an earth system model by different partners in the consortium. Currently, the EC-Earth consortium consists of 22 academic institutions and meteorological services from 10 countries in Europe.
EC-Earth will contribute to different model intercomparison projects (CMIP5, CFMIP, ...) and features in many national and international projects.
