1 Overview of Key WDS activities relevant to CBS and JCOMM requiring support from WWRP Xu Tang, D/WDS 8 th SSC/WWRP, 24-26,Nov.2015

2 WIGOS WIS GDPFS Application and Service delivery WMO operational networks 191 NMHSs: satellites, land, ships, buoys, and aircraft contribute to Global Observing every day Global Telecom with Regional Hubs becoming the WMO Information System The GDPFS: Global, Regional Specialized Met. Centres (RSMC, RCC), and National Centres NMHSs deliver analyses, forecast and early warning services

3 Purpose of the GDPFS The GDPFS provides the core operational prediction capabilities and systems of WMO (operated by Members 191) Nowcasting (VSRF) 0-6h Numerical Weather Prediction & EPS 6h-15d Long-Range Forecasting Sub-seasonal to Longer Time Scales up to 2 years Emergency Response Activities for Nuclear and Non- Nuclear dispersion Specialised Focuses eg. SWFDP, tropical cyclone centres

4 At the heart of the WMO operational system From WMO Strategic Plan 4

5 The GDPFS Is organized as a three-level system to carry out functions at global, regional and national levels World Meteorological Centre (WMC) / Global Producing Centre (GPC) Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre / Regional Climate Centre (RSMC / RCC) National Meteorological Centre (NMC) / National Climate Centre Cg-17 Side Event 5

6 Handling Long-Range Forecasting (LRF) A network of Centres 12 Global Producing Centres of Long- Range Forecasts (GPCs): Beijing, CPTEC (Brazil), Exeter, Melbourne, Montreal, Moscow, Pretoria, Seoul, Tokyo, Toulouse, Washington, ECMWF 6 Regional Climate Centres (RCCs): Africa hosted by ACMAD (RA I), Beijing (RA II), Tokyo (RA II), Moscow (RA II) NEACC, Western South America hosted by CIIFEN (RA III), Network (RA VI) National Climate Centres (NCCs)

7 Emerging Issues and Pressures on GDPFS Requirement to move to Impact-Based Forecasting and Risk-based Warning: Future GDPFS need to integrate non conventional information: Vulnerability and Exposure Trajectory-Based Forecasting for AviationService: Nowcasting (landing/take off), short term forecasts (enroute): Seamless Met Info required for take off, enroute and landing Requires seamless blending of nowcasting, mesoscale and global NWP Support to GFCS (Pre-assessement on Extreme events, subseasonal to climate forecasting) Climate change and variability are imposing new challenges to National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) requiring them to produce information at various time scales. Users needs are becoming more and more sophisticated and varied while the technology is evolving at high pace (ie doubling of Computing capacity every ~18 months) there are needs to expand capability of NMHSs. 7

8 To address these issues, the GDPFS needs to evolve with the help of Research to Being Capable of serving more users with one integrated system Being more agile and adaptable to serve Applications Programmes (AeM, AgMet, MMO, PWS), HydroMet and weather (polar & mountain areas), climate and environment related needs (forest fire, chemical spills, sand & dust storms, etc) Provide information seamlessly across Time scales (nowcasting, through weather forecasts for days and weeks ahead to long-range forecasts on seasonal and up to multi-annual scales) and; Disciplines (Hydrology: flood, inundation, water management; Marine and Costal: Wave, Storm Surge; Air Quality and Sand and Dust Storm; Natural resources and Energy sectors, Tourisme, Transports, etc.) 8

9 Congress paved the way forward with Resolution 11: Towards a future enhanced, integrated and seamless Data-processing and forecasting system Cg-17 request to Initiate a process for the gradual establishment of a future enhanced integrated and seamless WMO Data-processing and Forecasting System, in the light of the conclusions of the first World Weather Open Science Conference held in Montreal, Canada in August 2014, in particular that a seamless system encompasses several dimensions including timescales, multiple weather related hazards and societal impacts. 9

10 Addressing the Cg 17 Resolution 11 will require to develop A System which integrates highly performing operational systems (bridgging the Gaps): nowcasting (rapid refresh system) Short to medium range forecasting Subseasonal to seasonal forecasting Societal information to facilitate impactbased forecasting and risk-based warnings Fully coupled atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere Cg-17 Side Event 10

11 In addition, there is a need For operational integration of weather /hydrological forecasts to address the issue of maximum lead time for flood warnings Bridgging the gap weather-climate seamless service Address megacities integrated services requirements: understanding particularities of megacities to assist with timely forecasts, warnings and varity of demands of sevice deliveries. Cg-17 Side Event 11

12 WMO WMO TCP s Mission World Meteorological Organization Working together in weather, climate and water to encourage and assist its Members to: Establish and upgrade early warning systems with multi-hazard configuration; provide forecasts and assessments of floods associated with tropical cyclones; promote awareness to warnings and carry out activities at the interface between the warning systems and the use of warnings, including public information, education and awareness; provide the required basic meteorological and hydrological data and advice to support hazard assessment and risk evaluation of tropical cyclone disasters; and establish national disaster risk management and reduction mechanisms associated with tropical cyclone.

13 TCP Components WMO General Component is concerned with methodology like transfer of technology, information and scientific knowledge to Members, towards meeting the objectives of the TCP. It also encompasses the broader training requirements of the TCP.

14 TCP Components WMO Regional Component comprises the planning and implementation of the programmes of the five TCP Regional Bodies. Each of the five Regional Bodies has an Operational Plan or Manual which records the agreements reached on the sharing of responsibilities for the warning services, and their infrastructures, throughout its region.

59 Introduction call for WMO DRR Roadmap EC-66 requested the Secretary-General, in consultation with Members, to urgently develop a WMO DRR roadmap of prioritized and realistically achievable activities and deliverables that are consistent with the WMO Strategic and Operating Plans, as well as the work plans for relevant WMO programmes and projects Secretariat started drafting in autumn 2015, assisted by experts from UK, Canada, USA, China, and Japan 2 Drafting Team Meeting Nov 2014 & Feb 2015 Presentation at IBCS-2 Preliminary Consultations at RA I & II Meetings, IBCS-2, & WCDRR (Sendai) Wider consultation has started and will continue: Production of zero draft in Apr 2015 & circulation to Members To date, feedback received from Italy, Netherlands, Czech Repubilic, UK, Canada, USA, and Japan 2 nd WMO DRR survey among Members, RAs, TCs, technical programmes, the Secretariat and external partners late 2015 feeds into WMO DRR Symposium in late 2015/early

60 Introduction Why a WMO DRR Roadmap now The Roadmap at this point in time is a tremendous opportunity outline a coordinated way forward how to implement DRR as a high priority area for WMO, aligned with the Sendai Framework for DRR (SFDRR) and other international development frameworks WMO needs to continue assisting its Members in strengthening the core technical capacities of their NMHSs to support DRR at all levels But we need to do more: The world is changing, fast. More frequent extreme and high-impact hydrometeorological events Increasing requirements for and demand from NMHSs for services, e.g. for impact-based warnings and risk-informed decision making Many activities in hydrometeorology outside of WMO and NMHSs We cannot rely on our own efforts we need stronger multi-stakeholder partnerships on all levels and assist in developing governance capacities The SFDRR reinforced this need 60

61 Monitoring progress Expected outcome: substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses of lives, livelyhood, health and assets Goal: Prevent new and reduce existing risk and thus strengthen resilience 7 global targets: e.g. Substantially increase the availability of and access to MHEWS and disaster risk information and assessments to the people by 2030 How to monitor? SFDRR Monitor (national targets and indicators) Revised UN Plan of Action on DRR for Resilience (incl. Indicators) WMO Operating Plan (incl. KPI for the DRR Programme) Monitoring the progress with the WMO DRR Roadmap and to what extent expected benefits have been realised 61
