Moisture conditions on the basis of standard precipitation index for the previous 60 days Current capacities for the provision of climate services to climate-sensitive sectors 1. Agricultural sector - agrometeorological bulletins - weekly, decadal, monthly and annual - SPI index monitoring and forecast - CROPSYST forecasts of maize yield 2. Health sector - early warnings for heat waves /cold spells - forecast of thermal conditions 3. Water sector - monitoring and forecast for specific river basins 4. Disaster risk reduction sector - risk assessment for severe meteorological events - monthly and seasonal forecast - assessment of the forest fire risk (FWI)
Assessment of the forest fire risk seamless forecast Assessment of the forest fire risk per month for the following 3 months at the start of the third decade of the month Assessment of the forecast fire risk per week for the following 4 weeks every Friday (example for 2 week period: August 6 to August 19, 2012) Fire Weather Index-Forecast for the next day http://www.meteoalarm.rs/eng/fwi_p.php
Current capacities for the provision of climate services to climate-sensitive sectors Other sectors services: - Monthly and seasonal forecast - Heating plants, Public utility company ( Gradsko zelenilo ), Public transport company (GSP), Government of the Republic of Serbia - Various climate bulletins and reports - Government of the Republic of Serbia - Climate data Universities, Insurance companies, Court network in Serbia - Airport climatography airports in Serbia (Belgrade and Nis) Communication via post and internet web, ftp-service and email Regional climate forums SEECOF and MedCOF Technical support to SEECOF http://www.seevccc.rs/forum/ Still no national climate forum
Limitations of the NMHSs in the provision of climate services RHMSS and SEEVCCC staff responsible for the production of climate services - ~ 40 employees Critical elements: production of monthly and seasonal predictions model climatology and computer resources Priorities: - increasing computer resources - development of Global Climate Model based on NMMB atmospheric model - capacity building - closer cooperation with users at national level and with Climate Services at international level - knowledge management Create a consortium of stakeholders that would actively support activities needed for the provision of climate services.
Frequency of the summer drought (no. of droughts in 30 years) User interface platforms Institutionalized cooperation between RHMSS and: - Institute of Public Health of Serbia (BATUT) - Ministry of Interior Sector for Emergency management - Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection - Republic agency for spatial planning - Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS-GAS) co-production - Generali group insurance company (drought) - Heating plants - Public utility company ( Gradsko zelenilo ) - Public transport company (GSP) - Media Mostly one way communication between RHMSS and various users Insufficient feedback information
