Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Institute of Meteorology & Hydrology Using Better Climate Prediction in the Implementation of NAPs – (Eastern) Europe Vesselin Alexandrov Arusha, 2006 UNCCD “Section 1: Action programmes” Affected country Parties shall “prepare, make public and implement national action programmes (NAPs) as the central element of the strategy to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought” NAPs shall “incorporate long-term strategies to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought” and “enhance national climatological, meteorological and hydrological capabilities and the means to provide for drought early warning” UNCCD Article 10: NAPs 3. NAPs may include, inter alia ... : (a) establishment and/or strengthening, as appropriate, of early warning systems … (b) strengthening of drought preparedness and management, including drought contingency plans at the local, national, subregional and regional levels, which take into consideration seasonal to interannual climate predictions; WMO DEFINITIONS OF METEOROLOGICAL FORECASTING RANGES 6. Long-range forecasting (Seasonal to Interannual Prediction (SIP)): from 30 days up to 2 years 6.1. Monthly outlook 6.2. Three month outlook: Description of averaged weather parameters expressed as a departure from climate values for that 90 day period 6.3. Seasonal outlook In some countries, SIP are considered to be climate products 7. Climate forecasting: beyond 2 years 7.1. Climate variability prediction 7.2. Climate prediction: expected future climate including the effects of natural and human influences Global Producers of Long Range Forecasts EASTERN EUROPE UNCCD Recommendations from the REPORT OF AD HOC PANEL: EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS (2000) Integrate early warning results with the results of other climate prediction systems such as the WMO Climate Information and Prediction Services (CLIPS) and CLIVAR Encourage the further development and application of seasonal climate forecasting and long-range forecasting as tools for early warning systems source: Mike Harisson (www.wmo.int) CLIPS Questionnaire (Gocheva & Hechler, 2004) Is SIP currently successful in specified regions and sectors only ? Albania, Cyprus: do not use SIP and have not any precise opinion about SIP Azerbaijan: about successfulness of SIP it is difficult to say something Latvia: it is difficult to point out any geographic region where SIP works better Bulgaria; Estonia, Slovenia, Cyprus: SIP seems successful for specific regions and sectors Croatia, Poland, Romania: successful in ENSO-related regions with some weak predictability in midlatitudes (NAO) Armenia, Moldova, Kazakhstan: SIP is successful in wide geographical regions Spatial pattern of correlation between modelled February-April snow cover and NCEP/NESDIS observations; a) shows the correlation for the GloSea model (Shongwe et al., 2006) Spatial pattern of correlation between modelled February-April snow cover and NCEP/NESDIS observations; b) shows the correlation for the ECMWF S2 model (Shongwe et al., 2006) CLIPS Questionnaire (Gocheva & Hechler, 2004) Does your NMHSs provide official SIP? Albania, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Lithuania, Slovenia: No Bulgaria, Latvia, Serbia & Montenegro, Slovakia: monthly Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Poland: monthly and seasonal Romania: one-month forecasts, prognostic estimates for the next 2 months, following the forecasting month; “seasonal supplement”, containing the anomaly notification in the geophysical environment in past season and meteorological outlook for the next season; annual forecasting estimates bulletin elaborated at the beginning of each season and containing estimates of the temperature and precipitation anomalies for the next four seasons Russia: operational 1-3 month SIP regional and global predictions Seasonal predictions (UK Met Office and IRI) on the web page of Bulgarian weather service (info.meteo.bg) CLIPS Questionnaire (Gocheva & Hechler, 2004) Does your NMHS use SIP products from global producers? Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia: No Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Latvia etc.: ROSHYDROMET Slovakia, Greece: ECMWF products Bulgaria: ECMWF, IRI, UK Met Office, Météo-France for monthly weather forecast involving local weather and climate archive data downscaling Lithuania: IRI, World Resource Institute and Swedish Regional Climate Modelling Programme Poland: ECMWF, IRI, DWD Romania: ECMWF, Met Office, IRI and Japan Meteorological Agency, etc. CLIPS Questionnaire (Gocheva & Hechler, 2004) Do you apply SIP in the management of agricultural production, water resources, etc.? Albania, Cyprus, Greece, Lithuania, Slovenia: No Russia, Croatia, Serbia & Montenegro, Slovakia: partial application in some sectors, occasionally, etc. Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Poland, Romania: relatively broad SIP application in various sectors of the economy: (Gocheva & Hechler, 2004) CLIPS Questionnaire (Gocheva & Hechler, 2004) Has your NMHS contracts for regular SIP provision with a specific sector for example, agriculture? 50:50 Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Cyprus, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia: No Has your NMHS requests for SIP from any sectors? 90% confirmed availability of user’s requests towards SIP products CLIPS Questionnaire (Gocheva & Hechler, 2004) Is your SIP officially issued by the media? Do you develop the theoretical basis of your SIP activities by own research efforts? How do you maintain the theoretical basis of your operational SIP activities? Do you apply downscaling methods for specific sectors/applications/locations? What are the predicted meteorological elements and parameters in your national SIP practice?
