Climate Change Resilience
There is now a new online Seasonal Climate Prediction System which gives you the option of combining climate models from 10 different global meteorology centres to develop a prediction system over any three month period.
The establishment of this system called "CLIK Pacific" will provide the Pacific island region with ongoing access to data from state of the art climate models on the cutting edge of the climate science field.
Using the forecast climate models and data from the ten international organisations, the new online service allows you to select the variables, methods and seasons of interest to develop a Multi Model Ensemble (MME) into a regional forecast for the Pacific islands, or into forecast maps for individual countries.
"This is a revolutionary tool that provides more reliable climate forecasts due to the multi model approach adopted and will help the Met Services across the Pacific islands. They now the capacity to look at a range of climate prediction models from the top international climate organisations to help tailor country specific forecasts for the coming three month period," said Mr. Sunny Seuseu, Project Manager of the Korea-Pacific islands Climate Prediction Project.
"This will support decision making in sectors and promote climate resilience from climate risks. Given our dependability upon the weather and climate for our daily life in the islands – having this forecast knowledge and early warning information 3 months well in advance; will help us prepare for what may come whether that be in the fields of agriculture, water, tourism, forestry, fishing or community events."
The Climate Prediction System is now available online for use at http://clikp.sprep.org. While currently tailored for Pacific Met Services to employ, it is also available to the public, with a friendly site that allows for easy registration and use.
The installation of the CLIK Pacific is part of the Government of the Republic of Korea-Pacific Islands Climate Prediction Project (ROK-PI CLIPS) which is implemented by the APEC Climate Center and SPREP. The project is funded by the Government of Korea through the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat and runs for three years.
"We still have ongoing work planned for the site however if you do use it and have suggestions or feedback for us please let us know. There are also long-term plans for the use of the system for training, capacity building and research in the soon to be opened Pacific Climate Change Center (PCCC)."
The Climate Prediction System, allows you to select from a range of ten climate models from the following organisations; National Centers for Environmental Prediction, NOAA (NCEP model), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA model), International Research Institute for Climate & Society (IRI model), Pusan National University (PNU model), APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Climate Center (APCC model), Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici Italy (CMCC model), Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC_CANCM3 and CANCM4 models); the China Weather Bureau (CWB model), Australia Bureau of Meteorology (POAMA model).
