WMO Lead Centre for Long-Range Forecast Multi-Model Ensemble (WMO LC-LRFMME)
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.
Members of WMO LC-LRFMME 12 GPCs around the world
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
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

WMO Lead Centre for Long-Range Forecast Multi-Model Ensemble 2. Prediction for ONDJFM 2015/16
2m Temperature for OND 2015 DMME PMME Warm condition is expected over almost all South Asia region.
2m Temperature for NDJ 2015/16 DMME PMME Above-normal condition over Western India and Myanmar becomes stronger.
2m Temperature for DJF 2015/16 DMME PMME
2m Temperature for JFM 2016 DMME PMME It is expected that warm conditions over South Asia persist until JFM 2016.
Precipitation for OND 2015 DMME PMME Wet condition is shown over Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Indian Ocean in DMME. Near-normal condition in some parts of Pakistan and India is forcasted in PMME.
Precipitation for NDJ 2015/16 DMME PMME Above-normal condition in India and Myanmar is forcasted in PMME.
Precipitation for DJF 2015/16 DMME PMME Slightly wet condition is shown over Bay of Bengal in DMME.
Precipitation for JFM 2016 DMME PMME DMME shows that near-normal condition is dominant over South Asia region.
Summary for ONDJFM 2015/16 Ocean ENSO Positive SST anomalies in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific with the Nino 3.4 index are expected. Atmosphere 2m Temperature Warmer-than-normal conditions are dominant over the most South Asia region for both OND and JFM seasons. Precipitation Near- normal conditions are expected over South Asia region for OND season, but slightly above-normal conditions are forecasted in some parts of India for JFM season.
