Introduction of RU-CORE

Climate knowledge for regional resilience

Ramkhamhaeng University Center of Regional Climate Change and Renewable Energy (RU-CORE) is a collaboration between the Thailand Research Fund (TRF) and Ramkhamhaeng University (RU). The center aims to become a center of excellence in global climate model downscaling and in providing climate information for users at different levels to help manage risks arising from a changing climate.

RU-CORE develops research capacity, specialist knowledge and the scientific foundations required to support climate research and practical climate services.

Our responsibilities

The major roles of RU-CORE

Downscale global climate models using both statistical and dynamical approaches.
Establish a data service center that provides climate information to national and regional researchers.
Develop climate-modeling research collaboration with researchers in Asia, Southeast Asia and Thailand.
Develop training modules on climate modeling and its application to climate-change impact and adaptation assessments for government officers.
Develop graduate curricula on climate change.

Climate information services for Southeast Asia

Climate information for society

Southeast Asia Regional Climate Change Information System (SARCCIS)

SARCCIS serves as a one-stop data center that freely disseminates high-resolution, multi-model and multi-scenario simulated data; provides guidance on data usage, reliability and uncertainty; and trains users to access, analyze and interpret the data.
SARCCIS is a product of the Southeast Asia Regional Climate Downscaling (SEACLID) / Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) Southeast Asia Project.
Model-simulated data in SARCCIS is archived as part of the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) peer-to-peer enterprise system.
SARCCIS is envisioned to archive bias-corrected model data, statistical downscaling data, observations and regional climate-impact information.
SARCCIS champions climate services in the Southeast Asia region.
