2 2 Outline 1. Overview of the current situation of RA II in terms of GFCS 2. Subjects to be addressed towards the GFCS implementation in RA II, based on the WMO Impacts survey 2015 (after slide 12)
3 Characteristics of RA II 3 Geographical and climatological conditions of RA II RA II encompasses very wide regions from the Tropics to the Arctic, from the dry deserts to the humid tropical forest areas, from the deltas of river basins to the high-mountainous regions. And the wider regions of RA II are strongly influenced by the Asian monsoon activity and therefore suffered from the frequent extreme events. RAII contains a large and diverse range of climate conditions and ecosystems. Social conditions 35 members in RA II (Please notice that 33 members were targets in the WMO Impact survey 2015.) RA II Large population more than half of the world, especially in India and China High population density in the urban areas High vulnerability to natural hazards From NASA

5 GFCS Projects in RA II -Bhutan- 5 Bhutan is one of eight countries which the GFCS selected as focusing countries with the Partner Advisory Committee (PAC). Project Period PAC Climate Change Adaptation to Protect Human Health Strengthening Hydro-Meteorological Services Addressing the Risk of Climate-Induced Disasters Modernizing Weather, Water, and Climate Services Support for reconstructing historical data and exploring a possible contribution Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) GEF, WHO Finland UNDP World Bank Copernicus GWP Development of Climate Services Toolkit as a part of CSIS in GFCS is expected to be useful for improving national climate services in Bhutan.

7 Status of RCCs and GPCLRFs in RA II The Beijing Climate Center (BCC) and the Tokyo Climate Center (TCC) were designated as RCC Beijing and RCC Tokyo, respectively, in The North Eurasian Climate Center (NEACC), Russian Federation, was designated as RCC Moscow in The India (Pune) Climate Center was designated as RCC Pune in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan have also expressed their interest in establishing RCCs. 7 RCC (Regional Climate Center) designated RCCs demonstration phase intention to host GPCLRF (Global Producing Center for Long Range Forecast) GPC-Beijing GPC-Moscow GPC-Seoul GPC-Tokyo (2013) Iran Kazakhstan Saudi Arabia Pune (2017) LC-LRFMME (Lead Centre for Long-Range Forecast Multi-Model Ensemble Prediction) RA II joint portal site is available. Seoul (2009)
8 RA II Information Sharing on Climate Services 8 This portal site has been maintained by TCC since 2013 as a pilot project of RA II in order to share information on climate services (product details, frequency of issuance, etc.) as well as RA II joint portal site established at BCC. RA II-16 (2017) recognized the usefulness of this portal site because the access to the site has been increased. RA II- 6 also decided to continue enhancing information sharing by maintaining the portal site after termination of the pilot phase, particularly taking into account its importance for successful implementation of the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS). This site is one of unique activities in RA II, and would serve for GFCS implementation.
9 Status of RCOF activity in RA II 9 Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs) are organized in RA II as shown in the below table, and serve to produce consensus-based, user-relevant climate outlook products. RCOF Start Remarks FOCRAII 2005 Forum on Regional Climate Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction for Regional Association II (Asia) coordinated by CMA SASCOF NEACOF EASCOF ASEANCOF 2010 South Asian Climate Outlook Forum coordinated by IMD 2011 North Eurasian Climate Outlook Forum coordinated by NEACC 2013 East Asia winter Climate Outlook Forum coordinated by China, Japan, Mongolia and Republic of Korea 2013 Association of Southeast Asian Nations Climate Outlook Forum covering both RA II and RA V

11 Status of Capacity Development in RA II for research activities 11 Meteorological Research Institute (MRI/JMA) has conducted international collaboration regrading the global warming projection with dynamical downscaling techniques under the national research project SOUSEI. 18 researchers (India, Philippines, Viet mum, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Panama) have stayed at MRI for collaborative researches during In the new research project under planning now, MRI examines further collaborations for regional climate projection focusing on climate change projections in vulnerable areas and more active involvement with CORDEX-Asia program. CORDEX-SEA Phase II target areas NEACC conducts joint scientific collaborative project between Roshydromet and NHMS of Belorussia to improve long-range forecasts in Belorussia.

18 Summary -status- GFCS projects have being implemented steadily in RA II, particularly in southern Asia, like as Bhutan. In RA II, Pune Climate Center (India) is newly designated as RCC at the EC-69. It enhances WMO contribution for GFCS implementation in RA II. RCOFs are also actively organized in RA II. Totally five RCOFs (FOCRAII, SASCOF, EASCOF, ASEANCOF, NEACOF) are held annually once or twice. Training seminars related to climate services have been actively planed as capacity buildings by mainly, BCC, TCC, NEACC and Pune climate centers. Continuous enhancement in exchanges of information and practices on climate services has been recognized as one of important subjects in RA II. Currently two portal sites are operated by BCC and TCC respectively. 18
19 Summary subjects to be addressed- 19 Subjects to be addressed for further contribution of NMHSs to GFCS implementation based on results of WMO Impact survey (2015) are as follows. Fundamental products are evaluated well generally, but information for wider application, e.g. Risk assessment, adaptation, needs to be enhanced. Satisfaction for products or services is high, but data access needs further improvement. Evaluation for timeliness of issuing products and adequacy of the Climate Data Management System looks good, but there exists room to be improved in Predictions.

22 Countries involved with Partner s funding in RA II 22 Green Climate Fund Pilot Program for Climate Resilience Global Environment Facility Adaptation Fund Global Environment Facility In RA II, Southeast, South, Southwest and Central Asia are main target areas for major contribution to the GFCS implementation through Partner s funding.
23 Pune(India) as New RCC in RA II 23 Demonstration as the Indian Regional Climate Center in Pune had been conducted since In the EC-69, the Indian Regional Climate Center was designated as RCC in RA II.
24 RA II Joint Portal Site 24 This portal site was established at BCC with cooperation among BCC, TCC and NEACC in 2013 in order to share climate information among all RCCs in RA II. RCC Pune will appear in the site this year. Pune
25 FOCRA II, SASCOF and NEACOF 25 FOCRAII has the longest history in RA II, coordinated by CMA. It is only for summer outlook. SASCOF was initiated in 2010, and is held twice for summer and winter outlooks. NEACOF is held twice a year for summer and winter, and sometimes with on-line. FOCRAII NEACOF (Source:NEACC) SASCOF
26 EASCOF and ASEANCOF 26 EASCOF started in 2013 as the successor to the Joint Meeting for Seasonal Prediction of the East Asian Winter Monsoon initiated in EASCOF is consisted of Japan, Mongolia, China and Republic of Korea. The main purpose is to share recent understanding of seasonal prediction on the East Asian winter monsoon as well as discuss seasonal outlook of the coming winter. ASEANCOF is held twice a year for summer and winter monsoons. EASCOF (Source:JMA) ASEANCOF (Source:MSS)
27 New Products provided by RCCs 27 In the end of 2016, NEACC started issuing a new products, Climate Watch Advisory. In April 2016, TCC registered two tools (itacs and ClimatView) developed originally as contributed projects to GFCS. In November 2015, seasonal climate outlook for south Asia was started at RCC Pune to prepare based on coupled forecasting system (CFS) and in January 2016, bias corrected ENSO and IOD forecasts were included in the ENSO & IOD Bulletin. In May 2015, IMD Pune started issuing ENSO and IOD forecast Bulletin. In August 2014, TCC started providing a new product, the Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) for early warning of extreme weather events. Climate Watch Advisory (NEACC) Extreme Weather Warning map (TCC)
