CDS - Dataset Registration

Copernicus is a European system for monitoring the Earth. The European Commission (EU) has entrusted ECMWF with the implementation of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The Copernicus Climate Change service shall provide information to increase the knowledge base to support adaptation and mitigation policies.

The Climate Data Store (CDS) constitutes the first building block of the C3S and will be at the heart of the C3S infrastructure. It shall, in particular, contribute to the provision of Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), climate analyses, projections and indicators at temporal and spatial scales relevant to adaptation and mitigation strategies for various sectoral and societal benefit areas. The CDS will be designed as a distributed system, providing improved access to existing databases via a one-stop shop, generating and maintaining a documented European catalogue.
