🌊 In Isfjorden, Svalbard, air–sea heat exchange varies across space and time. Sea ice and local winds create hotspots, while nearby open ocean loses heat more uniformly.

🌍✨ #nextGEMS is coming to an end – but our journey has only just begun.
After four incredible years, the Horizon 2020 Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems project is wrapping up. Together, we set out to make kilometre-scale global #ClimateSimulations a reality — and we did it.
💡 None of this would have been possible without our extraordinary community:
▪️ Scientists from across the globe, pushing the boundaries of climate #modelling.
▪️ Industry and policy stakeholders, helping us connect our science to real-world needs.
▪️ Our organisational team, keeping everything on track.
▪️ LATEST THINKING (lt.org) and all the talented #ScienceCommunicators and visual creators who helped share our story.From Hamburg to Madrid, our #hackathons became so much more than coding sessions — they were spaces to #collaborate, to socialise, to co-create, and to inspire each other.
We are deeply grateful for the friendships made, the knowledge shared, and the breakthroughs achieved. And we’re excited to watch, in the years ahead, how nextGEMS will continue to shape #ClimateScience, #adaptation planning, and the digital twins of the future.
💪 Let’s keep building on this momentum. Let’s keep working together — across disciplines, sectors, and borders — to tackle the challenges of our changing climate.

🌀Summer 2006: the northern Antarctic Peninsula, a highly productive ecosystem, saw record-high phytoplankton blooms – the largest in over two decades.
But why?
PolarRES’s Timo Vihma, with collaborators, analysed long-term data to uncover the reasons: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024JC021354

❄️💻Antarctic sea ice is changing fast, but models often miss key details.
The new MetROMS-UHel model improves sea ice and atmospheric data, with better summer sea ice area predictions — though ice near coasts is thinner and more deformed.

🌪️ One last taste of our #nextScienceArt series 🎨
Over the past few years, the #nextGEMS project has blended climate science and creativity through #calendars filled with stunning visualizations from cutting-edge #EarthSystemSimulations.
This year, we took a different path—celebrating new and past contest submissions with fresh artistic spotlights.
🖼️ Below: “Stormstreaks” by Matthias Aengenheyster (ECMWF)
This artwork visualizes 44 years (1980–2023) of extreme 10-meter #wind gusts from a high-res (~9 km) climate simulation (EERIE, tco1279 AMIP) using ESA-CCI sea surface temperature and sea ice data.📥 Explore all designs in our website’s media library or our Zenodo community
✨ All artwork was curated in the form of postcards - Download, print, and share the beauty of climate science—worldwide. 🌍💌

❗#Svalbard, one of the fastest warming regions, saw record summer heat in 2024.
🌡️Even after accounting for warming trend, August temps rose far beyond the norm.📈 PolarRES finds unprecedented weather patterns and warm seas drove it, raising questions about future persistence.

🌪️ ☀️ Storms & Radiation began with a major challenge: the energy budget in our climate models was out of balance. Has that problem been solved?
✅ Yes! In recent model development cycles, researchers identified and fixed the energy leaks. However, there’s more progress to highlight:
☁️ Thanks to higher-resolution models, we can now simulate #clouds more realistically. This has revealed that convective cloud organization plays a significant role in the Earth’s energy budget.
🌬️ An aerosol and dust scheme has been integrated into one of the models, enabling us to study climate effects from pre-industrial times to the present.
🌧️ Studies of extreme precipitation confirm that such events increase by 7% per degree of warming, in line with theoretical predictions.
🔬 Increasing model resolution brings simulations closer to physical theory.These findings enhance our understanding of the Earth system and improve the reliability of #ClimateModels for future planning.
