Find out more about CORDEX development and progress by visiting the CORDEX website. The CORDEX flyer, recently published, provides description of Regional Climate Downscaling and its use in climate change adaptation and impact assessment. An International Conference on CORDEX will take place on 4-7 November 2013 in Brussels, Belgium (announcement).

The results of the GEWEX evaluation of the overall quality of the global, long-term cloud data products have been published recently in the GEWEX Cloud Assessment Report. The need of periodic assessments is a requirement for long-term, consistent data products. It is imperative that the long-term products be compared with more recent state of the art products to assess not only their fidelity, but their quality in light of increasingly accurate measurements.
