Met Office activities related to needs of humanitarian agenciesAnca Brookshaw
What does the Met Office currently do
bull development of science and relevant operational products
bull development of technical infrastructure for advanced data analysis visualisation and dissemination
bull pilot studies on incorporating meteorological prediction in decision tools
bull support to WMO projects and initiatives aimed at improving weather and climate services
copy Crown copyright Met Office
Current status of scientific capability for long-range predictions (7 days - 2 years horizon)
bull ensemble forecasting system bull based on high resolution (~50km) high complexity coupled modelbull linked with model development (all scientific advances incorporated
very quickly into operational forecasts)
bull multi-timescales (from medium-range to decades)
bull frequent updatesbull high skill
bull comparable to that of other leading systems for ENSObull unprecedented skill for
bull North Atlantic Oscillation (wintertime climate in northern mid-latitudes) and
bull West North Pacific Subtropical High (east Asia summer monsoon)
bull scientific developments targeted at improving predictability on seasonal timescales for Africa - CSRPcopy Crown copyright Met Office
CSRP Met Office Hadley Centre ndash DfID climate science research partnership
copy Crown copyright Met Office
Activities supporting relevant WMO projects and initiatives
bull Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs)
bull Global Seasonal Climate Updates (GSCU)
bull Lead Centre for Long-Range Forecasting (LC-LRFMME)
bull Subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction project

1048707 To improve forecast skill and understanding on the subseasonal to seasonal timescale with special emphasis on high-impact weather events
1048707 To promote the initiativersquos uptake by operational centres and exploitation by the applications community
1048707 To capitalize on the expertise of the weather and climate research communities to address issues of importance to the Global Framework for Climate Services
S2S objectives
bull Evaluating the potential predictability of sub- seasonalevents including identifying windows of opportunity forincreased forecast skill with special emphasis on high impact weather eventsbull Understanding systematic errors and biases in the subseasonal to seasonal forecast rangebull Comparing verifying and testing multi-model combinations from these forecasts and quantifying their uncertaintybull Focusing on some specific extreme event case studies such as the Russian heatwave of 2010 the floods in Pakistan in 2010 and Australia in 2011 and the European cold spell of 2012
Research priorities ndash scientific challenges
bull Responds to membersrsquo requirementsbull Contributes to the GFCS agendabull Critical mass of the networkbull Climate-weather synergiesbull Sharing and dissemination of knowledgebull Informed decision makingbull Early warningsbull Saved lives propertiesbull Return on investment
Benefits of science
The UK Met Office is developing a cloud-based service to facilitate the dissemination manipulation and visualisation of data (observations and forecast)
For the S2S project the Met Office cloud service and ECMWFrsquos archive can be used alongside they complement each other
ECMWFrsquos archive is designed to host the full database It is ideal for big but infrequent retrievals of data
MO cloud system is designed to host a fraction (eg 10 most frequently accessed) of the database It is ideal for small but frequent retrievals of data linked to end-user applications
Technical infrastructure ClimateCloud Disseminating manipulating and visualising data
using cloud computing
copy Crown copyright Met Office
Incorporating meteorological information indecision tools
bull working with NMHs and national and international agencies on
bull incorporating long-range forecasting information in existing early warning disaster mitigation tools (eg Philippines) or building such tools (Eg Singapore and southeast Asia)
bull development of user-relevant products (rainy season onset in Africa)

Example of current or recent activities in support of humanitarian aid projects
middot Deployment of resources to support the Haiti relief forecasting effort
middot Development of services for aid agencies to use at the community level (CARE amp Christian Aid) as part of STARCK+ (strengthening adaptation resilience to climate change in Kenya ) - a DFID Kenya project
middot Working with stakeholders users NGOs and forecasters in the development of a pilot early warning system in Rwanda
middot Operational service to charities to support their resource mobilisation
middot Horizon scanning for UK government departments under the SHED initiative (use of science in humanitarian emergencies disasters)
