1 WMO Lead Centre for Long-Range Forecast Multi-Model Ensemble WMO LC-LRFMME and Seasonal Climate Outlook for ONDJFM 2015/16 Daeun Jeong and WMO LC-LRFMME team The Winter South Asian Climate Outlook Forum (WinSASCOF-1) and Climate Services Users Forum for Agriculture (CSUF-Ag1) October 2015 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

2 Contents 1 Introduction to WMO LC-LRFMME 2 Seasonal Prediction: ONDJFM 2015/16 3 Summary

3 WMO Lead Centre for Long-Range Forecast Multi-Model Ensemble (WMO LC-LRFMME)

4 Concept of WMO LC-LRFMME One of the important missions of WMO Lead Centre is to provide a linkage between GPCs and other organizations such as RCCs, GPCs, NMHSs, and RCOFs. Even though it is very beneficial for all GPCs to share their outputs with other regions, it is very difficult to use long range forecast model outputs directly due to their different standards. In order to maximize the use of outputs for disaster prevention and better socioeconomic planning, the WMO LC provides a venue to collect and display all GPC product.

5 Members of WMO LC-LRFMME 12 GPCs around the world

6 Goals of WMO LC-LRFMME To provide To Provide conduit for sharing the model data To develop a well-calibrated MME system for mitigating the adverse impact of unfavorable climate conditions, and maximizing the benefit from favorable conditions high-quality climate prediction products, and To develop advanced climate prediction technology

7 Activities of WMO LC-LRFMME Redistributing digital forecast data GPC Forecast data GPC GPC Forecast data Forecast data Generating GPCs forecasts in a standard format Displaying a standardized set of Lead Centre products GPC Forecast data Maintaining a lot of documentation

8 Products of WMO LC-LRFMME

9 Products of WMO LC-LRFMME Membership Levels & Accessibility Level A (GPCs) - Upload & download digital data (limited) - Download image plots Level B (NMHSs, RCCs) - Download digital data (limited) & image plots Level C (Others) - Image plots As of 1 st October 2014, access to the site is limited to GPCs, RCCs, NMHSs, and bodies coordinating RCOFs.
