Code Table 1.3 : adding Destination Earth entries

[sebvi]

Initial request

A bit of a late request, ECMWF would like to propose 2 new entries in Code Table 1.3 to encode Destination Earth data.

The Destination Earth (DestinE) is a flagship initiative of the European Commission to develop a highly accurate digital model of the Earth on a global scale.This model will monitor, simulate and predict the interaction between natural phenomena and human activities. It will contribute to achieving the objectives of the twin transition, green and digital as part of the European Commission’s Green Deal and Digital Strategy.

ECMWF will be responsible of the "digital twins" implementation while ESA and EUTMETSAT will be responsible for other parts of the initiative (service platform, data lakes, etc.)

Digital twins are digital replicas of the highly complex Earth systems, they are based on a seamless fusion of real-time observations and high-resolution predictive modelling in the thematic areas, starting from the extreme events and climate change adaptation.

The long-term goal is to integrate additional digital twins such as on oceans or biodiversity creating a comprehensive digital twin of the Earth. The digital twins of DestinE will provide users with tailored access to high-quality knowledge for user-specific scenario development that can support evidence-based decision-making.

@sebvi branch looks good -- Do you still want (DestinE) as part of the name?
