Slide2Current
Status of Climate ServicesExamples of sectors that we provide climate service to are: 1. National Disaster Centre, 2. Agriculture Department- National Agriculture Research Institute 3. Energy SectorNational Disaster Centre- PNG National Weather Service provides three months climate outlook. National Agriculture Research Institute. PNG NWS provides for the agriculture institute, a three month climate outlook and a monthly climate data
Water- PNG NWS provides
a three month
climate outlook.
Slide3Seasonal Climate Outlook
Slide4Requirements in
Climate ServicesA long term forecast for the Agriculture department eg; 6 months outlookBe able to provide an impact based outlookProvide climate information to the infrastructure industry Spatial rainfall outlookSpatial drought risk mapSpatial flood risk map
Slide5Data Requirements
Global - up to date climate data i.e temperatures- average temp, max and min temp, rainfall and sea surface temperature etcRegional, up to date climate data, temperatures- average temp, max and min temp, rainfall and sea surface temperature etc.National, up to date climate data, temperatures- average, max and min, rainfall, sunshine, RH, Wind speed/directionSectoral – specific sectoral data, eg
for the health sector what sickness is most common during a wet season or dry season, in an El Nino year etc.
Slide6Global/Regional Products
Products and services that we will require from a)Global centers are: 1. International Research Institute b) Regional centers are: 1. APCC (Apec Climate Centre)
Slide7Institutional Capacity
Institutional strengthsIt is the only government organization that provides meteorological informationSmall organization so it can only grow over timeVery good staff relationship Institutional WeaknessesCommunication barriersNo timely data transfer to head quarters No proper achieving systems
Slide8Infrastructural Capacity
StrengthsCurrently using Climate data for the Environment (CLiDE) databaseUsing Seasonal Climate outlook for the Pacific Island Countries (SCOPIC)WeaknessesNot enough stationsLacking appropriate software and tools eg; GISLow bandwidthData rescue is still an issue as most of the data that is on field books are yet to be digitized.No proper achieving systemsLacking instruments
Slide9Staff Capacity
StrengthsTrained personnel Dedicated staffWeaknessesUnder-staff, Training needs for long serviced staff and new recruitsNeed more skilled workers
Slide10General expectations from CSIS
Facilitating partnership in data collectionQuality data set, i.e no gaps in the data setsReliable data baseSharing resourcesSharing software and toolsAllowing stakeholders to input into a impact based outlook
Slide11Climate Services Toolkit
In general the climate services toolkit is very vital especially for developing countries like PNG as we do not have all the technology we need for climate prediction and monitoringIts lay out is excellent Access to the information at national level maybe a challenge due to internet issues
