Destination Earth's digital twins and Digital Twin Engine - state of play
Les jumeaux numériques de Destination Terre et le moteur de jumeaux numériques - état des lieux
Sandu, Irina
After Destination Earth (DestinE) transitioned into its second phase in mid-June 2024, this is a good time to reflect both on key achievements so far and on the next steps in this ambitious initiative funded by the European Union. DestinE aims to build a digital replica of our planet to enhance our capability to respond and adapt to the environmental challenges posed by extreme events and climate change. After two years of intense developments through a truly European collaborative effort implemented by ECMWF, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) together with many partners across Europe, the novel information system DestinE is setting up will gradually open its gates to users. Its innovative elements will now continuously evolve and gradually transition towards operations. Here, we will mainly focus on the key elements of the DestinE system that ECMWF is delivering together with its 90 partners across Europe: the Digital Twin Engine and the first two high-priority digital twins, which are at the heart of the DestinE system. This article reflects the contributions of all the teams working on DestinE at ECMWF and at our partner organisations throughout Europe.</p>
