GA ČR GA22-24920S, Links between weather, epidemics, and seasonal mortality patterns, 2022-2024, investigator (IAP): Kyselý Jan description Relationships between weather and human health are very complex. Many studies have shown a typical seasonal pattern of mortality, with its maximum in the cold period and minimum in summer. It remains unclear, however, to what extent seasonality of mortality can be explained by direct effects of winter weather and to what extent other factors are important, such as incidence of acute respiratory diseases (until recently, mainly seasonal influenza epidemics). This topic has become even more relevant in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which caused unprecedented excess mortality in 2020 and 2021.
The aim of the project is to assess historical connections between weather variability, seasonal patterns of mortality, and the occurrence of acute respiratory infections in temperate climate conditions. Special emphasis will be given to how these patterns have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. close |

GA21-07954S, Varying atmospheric variability, 2021-2024, investigator (IAP): Pejchová Plavcová Eva, team: Beranová, R., Dubrovský, M., Huth, R., Kašpar, M., Krauskopf, T., Lhotka, O., Navrátilová, D., Rulfová, Z. description Long-term changes (trends) in short-term (day-to-day to intraseasonal) variability of
temperature and precipitation are examined in the Northern Extratropics, both in the observed
data and in outputs of global and regional climate models. Various characteristics of variability,
which provide complementary information, are analyzed (standard deviation, persistence, dayto-
day variations, transition probabilities, lengths of dry and wet spells). Their climatologies and
trends are compared between different dataset types (station, gridded, reanalysis) with the aim
to identify biases specific to individual dataset types. We also focus on mechanisms governing
the short-term variability, and the day-to-day temperature changes in particular, in which
atmospheric fronts are likely to play a role. We validate the short-term variability in climate
model outputs and evaluate its future projections by models. Finally, we attempt to find out
whether the anthropogenic climate change is already manifested in the recently observed
changes of variability close |
GA21-03295S, Long-term trends of anthropogenic and natural origin in the stratosphere and upper atmosphere., 2021-2023, investigator (IAP): Laštovička Jan description The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases affects the troposphere but even more the higher levels of the atmosphere, where it induces cooling. The first scenario of long-term trends in the upper atmosphere (mesosophere-thermosphere-ionosphere) was created by an international team in 2006 (Laštovička et al., 2006, Science). It has been improved but still it is not connected with trends in the stratosphere. Until recently the trends in the stratosphere and upper atmosphere were studied separately. The trends are affected also by other drivers, not
only by greenhouse gases (mainly CO2), which change in time. The project is therefore focused on various aspects of trends in the stratosphere to improve possibilities of their comparison and joining with trends in the upper atmosphere, then on removing new problems in studying ionospheric trends, on specification of temporally varying roles of various non-CO2 trend drives, and on the main aim of the project, creation of the first joint scenario of long-term trends in the stratosphere-mesosphere-thermosphere-ionosphere system. close |

HORIZON 2020, EUROPLANET 2024, projekt EPN2024-RI, ID 871149, EUROPLANET 2024, 2020-2024, investigator (IAP): Souček Jan description Investing in space infrastructures such as in the Copernicus and Galileo programmes, Europe has historically been at the forefront of space exploration. The Commission has made ambitious proposals for the period 2021–2027. These include a dedicated Space programme for a total of EUR 16 billion. It is within this context the EU-funded EPN-2024-RI will provide infrastructure necessary to address the major scientific and technological challenges facing modern planetary science. Its aim is to ensure Europe’s position is at the forefront of space exploration. To do this, the project will provide Transnational Access (TA) to an enhanced set of world-leading field and laboratory facilities, Virtual Access (VA) to state-of-the-art data services and tools linked to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), and Networking Activities (NA) to widen the user base and draw in new partners from around the world.close |

COST CA19139, Process-based models for climate impact attribution across sectors (PROCLIAS), 2020-2024, investigator (IAP): Urban Aleš description Many complex process-based models are available in Europe to project future climate impacts. Yet, the current climate impact research community is fragmented, modeling mostly individual systems. The integration of climate impacts across different natural and societal sectors is only slowly emerging. Likewise, attribution of impacts to climate and other factors is still a strongly under-researched field given that climate change is already strongly manifesting itself, an increasing number of court cases dealing with climate impacts is being negotiated and policy debates on loss and damage are intensifying. This lack of coordination amongst impact modelers and insufficient awareness about impact attribution methods hampers important scientific and political progress and more coordination and networking is urgently needed. Therefore, PROCLIAS aims to develop common protocols, harmonized datasets and a joint understanding of how to conduct cross-sectoral, multi-model climate impact studies at regional and global scales allowing for attribution of impacts of recent climatic changes and robust projections of future climate impacts. The Action will do so by focusing on key interactions of climate impacts across sectors, their accumulated effect, especially of extreme events, the attribution of impacts to climate change and the quantification of uncertainties. PROCLIAS will make use of all COST networking tools to train young researchers to conduct and analyse multi-model simulations in a cross-sectoral way, to support a common platform for collecting impact model simulations and methods for analyzing them and to disseminate the data, code and results to scientists as well as, in a more synthesized form, to stakeholders. close |

• creating a line forecast of the road surface condition (RSC) and temperature (RST) of Czech motorways and selected parts of class I roads. Apart from deterministic forecast, the prediction will include a forecast of the probability of occurrence of different RST and RSC allowing optimized winter maintenance decisions.
• an improvement of existing forecast by: (i) implementing a short-term forecast of cloudiness using satellite data, which will be used to improve the forecast of radiation fluxes,
(ii) an improvement of anthropogenic heat flux forecast caused by traffic density and which significantly affects the RST and RSC,(iii) an evaluation of forecast uncertainty based on the forecast ensemble taking into account the uncertainty in the input model dataclose |

It is important to better understand physical mechanisms leading to extremes, their mutual links, and how they are reproduced in climate models. The project deals with temperature and precipitation extremes in Europe, with focus on warm season. The main aims are to (i) examine the role of atmospheric circulation and land-atmosphere coupling in initiating development of temperature extremes and supporting their persistence in observed climate and ERA-5 reanalysis, including the study of links to extremes of precipition and other variables, (ii) analyze spatial patterns of differences between individual driving mechanisms (advective, radiative, and land-surface factors) in key regions of Europe, and (iii) evaluate ability of current high-resolution climate models to reproduce the driving mechanisms of extremes and their spatial patterns. This represents an important step towards better understanding credibility of climate model outputs, and for further model improvements. close |

HORIZON 2020 ID 870437, SafeSpace - Radiation Belt Environmental Indicators for the Safety of Space Assets, 2020-2022, investigator (IAP): Santolík Ondřej description Monitoring space weather events is crucial. The EU-funded SafeSpace project aims to advance space weather nowcasting and forecasting capabilities, contributing significantly to the safety of space assets through the transition of powerful tools from research to operations. This will be achieved through the synergy of five well-established space weather models. SafeSpace hopes to improve radiation belt, culminating in a prototype early warning system for detrimental space weather events, integrating information all the way from the Sun to the inner magnetosphere. Working, also, with a major European space company, SafeSpace, hopes to define indicators of particle radiation of use to space industry and spacecraft operators. close |
HORIZON 2020, ID 870452, PAGER - Prediction of Adverse effects of Geomagnetic Storms and Energetic Radiation, 2020-2022, investigator (IAP): Souček Jan description A geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of Earth\'s magnetosphere. It occurs when there is a very efficient exchange of energy from the solar wind into the space environment surrounding Earth. Predicting these storms is vital. This is the objective of the EU-funded PAGER project, which has assembled a team of leading academic and industry experts in space weather research, space physics, empirical data modelling and space environment effects on spacecraft from Europe and the United States. The project will provide a 1-2 day probabilistic forecast of ring current and radiation belt environments. This will allow satellite operators to respond to predictions that present a threat. The most advanced codes will be used, adapted to perform ensemble simulations and uncertainty quantifications.
