What is a Regional Climate Centre (RCC) ?RCCs are Centres of Excellence that assist WMO Members in a given region todeliver better climate services and products including regional long-rangeforecasts, and to strengthen their capacity to meet national climate informationneeds. WMO activity Providing climate services for the WMO RA VI Region (dedicated regional) Organized as a network of many participating national meteorological andhydrological services (NMHSs) Principle of shared work/tasks (one for all, all for one) Collecting input products, producing output products No duplication of work which is already done on a national level Users are other RCCs and the NMHSs, endusers the customers of the NMHSsWednesday, 03 November 2010 2

Delivering the products to the websiteEnd of the each month, the products have been delivered via ftp.As soon as 11 products are copied to the server, web siteautomatically is updated.http://emcc.dmi.gov.trWednesday, 03 November 2010 20

Monitoring of Significant Weather Events (DWD)New Page on ECSM! (on development)• Significant Weather Events-> European -> Monthly Events- short report (in development)- European products- by countries (to be updated)Wednesday, 03 November 2010 22

Training & capacity buildingMore than 300 participants have been trained in WMO RTC in AlanyaFacilities on Climate Indices, Regional Climate Models (PRECIS,RegCM3), AWOS, Telecommunications, Agricultural Meteorology,Climatological applications, etcWednesday, 03 November 2010 http://emcc.dmi.gov.tr23

Climate Watches (to be discussed) Concept for realisation to be developed/co-ordinated by RCC-CM (input of NHMS andusers) Basis: monitoring and forecast products Anomalies, climate indices (e.g. drought indices) Climate diagnostics (based on e.g. Global Seasonal Climate Updated as plannedby WMO) LRF (provided by RCC-LRF), Regional Climate Outlook Forum (e.g. SEECOF) mainly national monitoring, but RCC-CM should give guidance on (sub)regional level Status and priorities of national requirements on climate watches to be given (Sessiontomorrow) focus on special predictable (?) events (heat and cold waves, drought, flooding) various time scales (from weekly to annual, main focus on seasonal?) problem: skill of LRF small for RA VI compared to other parts of the world developing special products (shorter and variable averages instead of only monthly?)Wednesday, 03 November 2010 24

Exchange of products of/within/to RCC-CM presently done by providing products on websites file transfer by ftp or by email future possibility via the DCPC (Data Collecting and Producing Centre) of the WIS DWD (RCC-CM leading centre) applied for being a DCPC DWD also applied for being a GISC (Global Information System Centre) of the WIS, RCC-CM DCPC is internal DCPC (uses technical infrastructure of the DWD GISC) other RA VI RCC nodes are also DCPCs (KNMI, Météo France, Roshydromet) to be discussed among the consortium partners at the RCC coordination meeting onThursday, technical interfaces to NMHSs to be defined (file transfer to server) national agreements to be made for delivery via DCPC (which products and how tobe delivered) Metadata to be given for each productWednesday, 03 November 2010 25

Future plans further development of web pages (all) Product collection and distribution by DCPC further development of products (further variables, climate indices, droughtmonitoring, extremes) distribution of seasonal bulletins (DWD) research on climate variability and change further development of event monitoring (DWD)Wednesday, 03 November 2010 27
