2.1 Procedure

Title : C3S2_384 Downscaling of CMIP6 Climate Projections using Machine Learning Tools to fill the Gaps of the Worldwide CORDEX RCM Simulations

Description : ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), invites tenders for providing new high resolution regional climate data using Machine Learning (ML) procedures which downscale CMIP6 Global Climate Models. This new dataset would complement the CORDEX-CMIP6 datasets which will be published in parallel, and the two sets of data together will form an enhanced set of regional climate datasets, with improved coverage of the climate projection uncertainty space.

2.1.4 General information

Additional information : Procedure to be applied: The procurement will be conducted in accordance with ECMWF's procedures as set out in Invitation to Tender documents, which are available on ECMWF's eProcurement Portal ( https://procurement.ecmwf.int/) and no other procedures will apply. In submitting this notice ECMWF does not waive the privileges and immunities granted to it by virtue of its status as an intergovernmental organisation or submit itself to any jurisdiction. Tenders must be submitted using ECMWF's eProcurement Portal. Hard copy (paper) submissions will not be accepted. Due to the need to include performance and compliance obligations in the contract, ECMWF will contract only with a single legal person or entity which is competent to undertake and commit to these obligations. ECMWF recognises that some bids will involve a number of organisations which may wish to work together to deliver the contract requirements. In such cases, these organisations must identify a lead contractor who will sign the contract with ECMWF and who will be responsible for putting in place legal arrangements to ensure that it can guarantee that all other organisations will also meet the contract obligations. ECMWF will not enter into multiple contracts with individual members of consortia or groups of service providers. Eligibility: Refer to Section 3.2 of Volume I of the ITT documents.

5. Lot

5.1 Lot technical ID : LOT-0001

Title : C3S2_384 Downscaling of CMIP6 Climate Projections using Machine Learning Tools to fill the Gaps of the Worldwide CORDEX RCM Simulations

Description : The main objective of the contract is to create new regional climate data based on ML technology. The new data shall complement existing and planned CORDEX (RCM: Regional Climate Model) simulations and form a coherent dataset, where dynamical (RCM) and ML-based data can be used together. The work shall begin with a gap analysis checking the available and planned RCM data for the CORDEX simulations and what gaps are seen for all the 14 CORDEX domains and for all the available climate scenarios. A complete ML methodological overview is required to check whether there are ready-to-use emulators (which can provide similar set of dynamically consistent climate variables as RCMs) available to provide the ML-based data to fill the identified gaps. Ideally, the best available and tractable RCM emulator techniques need to be used to provide the missing data for the community. The data provided by the procured work needs to be published in the CDS in a similar manner to the other CORDEX climate projection datasets. User guidance and documentation will be written to fully inform the users on these new data, and particularly how they can be used alongside other available RCM datasets. ECMWF intends to award a single Framework Agreement for a period of maximum 32 months, which shall be implemented via a single Service Contract expected to commence in October 2025.
