Meteorological Early Warning Systems for Prevention and Mitigation of Natural Disasters:Case of Maa Wang River Basin By Somchai Baimoung Director of Weather Forecast Bureau Thai Meteorological Department
PROBLEMS? • To reduce the possibility of loss of life, personal injury, and damage to property and fragile environments, therefore, meteorological early warning systems in Thailand must be set up (easily and clearly to understand for local people). • Up to now, every related governmental institutions try to establish theirs own early warning system, but the preliminary data must come from TMD. • Natural hazardous always occur in local scale and highly mountainous areas
PROBLEMS? • In this moment, the perfect forecasting system would not be able to deliver precise forecast. • The communication between local people in risky areas with government offices has just begun, not fully successful.
HOW TO SOLVE? • Hopefully, setting up the techniques integration of numerical weather prediction products with remote sensing data and geographic information system may be a necessary appropriate tools nowadays. • These, must be done for developing, manipulating, and also implementing to each appropriate risky area in any regions. • If it is successful, then the gained knowledge and methodology from this site can be a road map for other risky areas of Thailand.
DATA USED & METHODOLOGY Digital Form Digital map of Risky Areas in 1:25,000 1:4,000 NWP Products SatelliteProducts Linear Combination Using GIS Radar Products Telemetering Products In situ Products
DATA USED (in digital form) • NWP Products; - Unified model: Thailand model (17 X 17 km.), Meso scale model (3 X 3 km.) - MM5/WRF: Thailand model (12 X 12 km.) Meso scale model (3 X 3 km.) • Satellite Products; - MT-SAT, NOAA 12-18, MODIS, FY, THEOS • Weather Radar Products - 26 weather radar stations data • Telemetering Products - 1,000 stations (approximate) • In situ Products - Soil data, Land use/Land cover, DEM, Topographical data Slope data, Aspect data, etc
New Unified model Products using GIS Detailed: - Thailand digital map scale 1:250,000 with administration boundaries - Interpolation using “Kriging techniques” with 17 km res. - To be in form of grid cell with 1 km spatial resolution - Using GIS software so-called “Arc view” - Used for any met. parameters
