  2. About APCC APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) APCN (APEC Climate Network) APCC (APEC Climate Center)

  3. APEC Participating Member Economies

  4. Background: From APCN to APCC • APCN (1999-2004) APCN, “The APEC Climate Network,” is a regional climate program aimed at realizing the APEC vision of regional prosperity through mitigation of economic losses induced by abnormal climate. APCN produces real-time operational climate prediction information based on a well-validated multi-model ensemble system (MMES). • APCC (2005- In order to enhance the activities of APCN, Korea proposed and the APEC Science and Technology Ministry endorsed establishment of APEC Climate Center (APCC) in Korea with a core staff of scientists and computing facilities. The APCC Opening Ceremony will be held on 18-20th November 2005 during the APEC Summit Meeting in Bussan, Korea,.

  5. APCC APCC is an international institute and serves as a hub for APEC regional climate research and prediction To make an effort toward accomplishing the WCRP/COPES vision To provide core facilities and man powers to accomplish the vision.

  6. CliPAS Climate Prediction and Its Application to Society A Joint US-Korea Research Project in Support of APCC Objectives Investigate a set of core scientific problems on multi-model ensemble (MME) climate prediction Establish well-validated MME prediction systems for intraseasonal and seasonal prediction Develop economic and societal application models.

  22. Probabilistic MMEP Range of Area of ROC Curve/ Above Normal Precipitation APCC DEMETER JJA DJF Probabilistic forecast for above normal precipitation greater than 0.5 standard deviation

  23. Deterministic and Probabilistic MMEP Potential Economic Value/ Above Normal 2m Air Temp APCC DEMETER Probabilistic forecast for above normal 2m air temperature greater than 0.5 standard deviation over ENSO Region

  24. Summary of the Preliminary Results • The CliPAS blended one- and two-tier MME hindcasts • have skills comparable to DEMETER in precipitation and • surface temperature prediction, although their individual • modles’ performance is lower that those of DEMETERs. • b. The CliPAS MME is more effective due to their larger • mutual independence as evidenced from their larger • range of their skills . • c. The MME is more effective when and where individual • models have moderate performances while potential • predictability is large. MME is more applicable to the • summer monsoon regions. • d. In A-A summer monsoon heavy precipitation regions, • one-tier is superior to two-tier system due to increased • feedback from the local surface SST and improved ENSO • teleconnections.
