Climate Forecasting in the Pacific Region

Thank you. UH Social Sciences Research Institute East-West Center PEAC established as research pilot project in 1994

Pacific Islands Regional Assessment Focus on Vulnerability in order to: Understand exposure & sensitivity (impacts) Address adaptive capacity (resilience) Develop appropriate response options Engage all experts in shared learning and joint problem-solving

Pacific Islands Assessment: Overarching Recommendation “an ongoing commitment to the emergence of a Pacific climate information system that supports the development and use of climate information to support decision-making”

Pacific RISA Emphasis on reducing vulnerability to climate-related extreme events (droughts, floods, tropical cyclones) Support and enhance climate risk management activities of Pacific Island governments, communities, resource managers and businesses

Some Lessons Learned for Climate Information Services Focus on integrated climate-society system Decision-makers interested in information on a continuum of timescales: Addressing today’s problems Planning for the future Early & continuous partnership with users essential: Shared learning & joint problem-solving Outreach & dialogue programs as priority activities Building trust & credibility a long-term endeavor

Some Lessons Learned for Climate Information Services Collaborative, participatory process with users: Continuous, interactive dialogue Co-production of knowledge Document and share experiences Problem-focused approach: Understand place, context, history and decision making process; Useful & usable information responsive to user needs Continuum of timescales Climate information system vs. event forecasting

Some Lessons Learned for Climate Information Services Address both process and products: Integrated program of observations, monitoring, forecasting, assessment, education and applications – with continuous evaluation and adjustment Build on existing systems, institutions, programs, relationships & networks: Recognize the vital role of trusted information brokers Partnerships between science & operations

Evolution of a Pacific Climate Information System El Niño demonstrated needs & forecast value 1999 Meeting of Pacific Regional Meteorological Service Directors -- General agreement on PaCIS vision, goal and objectives Discussions among likely partners: Initiation of monthly forecast calls Planning for WMO Oceania Regional Climate Centre NWS Climate Services Division Activities PEAC First Decade Review Related Regional Activities: PI-GCOS PRiMO NOAA IDEA Center

PaCIS Vision Resilient and sustainable Pacific communities using climate information to manage risks and support practical decision- making in the context of climate variability and change.

PaCIS Mission Clarify climate information needs and guide monitoring, research, forecasting and assessment Provide access to critical data, research and new climate information products and services Translate research and assessment results into useful and usable climate information

PaCIS Mission Interpret global and regional climate forecasts for local applications Enhance regional and local capabilities to manage risks and support sustainable development in the context of climate variability and change Enhance collaboration among national, regional and international institutions and programs

PaCIS Program Elements Education, Outreach and User Information: User dialogue and feedback Educational materials WSO’s as local experts/coordinators in partnership with experts in key sectors Operational Products and Services: Develop and evaluate PaCIS services Regional climate services testbed Cross-regional coordination Support regional observations and data management systems (e.g., PI-GCOS, PI-GOOS, PacIOOS)

PaCIS Program Elements Research and assessment to enhance resilience: Regional downscaling and local applications Enhanced understanding of nature and consequences of climate variability and change with a focus on extreme events Support for regional vulnerability assessment and adaptation programs

PaCIS Governance Structure Steering Committee for overall guidance and support: Representatives of Pacific users in key sectors Representatives of Pacific Weather Service Offices NOAA & other U.S. climate programs & agencies PRiMO (and its agencies) International partners, regional organizations and programs (Australia, NZ, SPREP, SOPAC, PI-GCOS, PI-GOOS, PacIOOS) Social science, decision support and climate applications science experts Working Groups for each program element: Education, Outreach and User Information Needs Operational Climate Observations, Products & Services Research and Assessment Executive Director – NWS Pacific Region Climate Services Program Manager
