Destination Earth
Our planet's digital twin
USE CASES
Use Cases by ECMWF
With dedicated "Use Cases" in the frame of Destination Earth, ECMWF ensures that the digital twins are built taking into account the gaps in information needs of different users for different impact sector areas.
Global Freshwater Availability
Providing globales estimates of global freshwater availability and insights into future flood and drought events.
Wildfires Evolution
Providing a refined view of wildfire risks in a changing climate.
Forestry
The Harvester Seasons service for forestry, a web based service, developed by Finnish Meteorological Institute FMI, provided a Destination Earth Use Case with new high-resolution maps for forest trafficability over Europe.
Urban Heat Island Effect
This use case provides high-resolution urban heat maps for cities across Europe to underpin and motivate urban climate adaptation measures that are being developed.
Energy Systems
To make power system resilient to meteorological events happening on short time scales and climate change, this use case intends to improve energy system modelling for grid planning and resources adequacy assessment.
Onshore & Offshore Wind Energy Information
Providing information on key global indicators relevant to the wind farm industry at various temporal and spatial scales.
