===== Acronyms and additional information =====


  * ACM : Association for Computing Machinery
  * ACM Gordon Bell Prize : awarded each year to recognize outstanding achievement in high-performance computing, and track the progress over time of parallel computing, with particular emphasis on rewarding innovation in applying high-performance computing to applications in science, engineering, and large-scale data analytics (https://awards.acm.org/bell)
  * AI : Artificial Intelligence
  * CCI : Climate Change Initiative (ESA initiative http://cci.esa.int/)
  * CMIP : Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip) : project set upo by the WCRP that aims at better understanding past, present and future climate changes arising from natural, unforced variability or in response to changes in radiative forcing in a multi-model context.
  * DEWG : Data Engineering Working Group : the objective of DEWG is to ensure maximum usability of the datasets produced within CCI, and cultivate tools for their access, discovery and manipulation, through common CCI data standards.
