GFCS IV: CLIMATE RESEARCHIntegrating Climate Research to Support NMHSs in the Operational Delivery of Climate ServicesDr Antonio Busalacchi, Chair, WCRP Joint Scientific Committee
GFCS IV: Research • This side event will seek feedback on the most effective mechanisms for expediting the research results to services-focused products in a timely manner; • Need for an effective dialogue between research and user communities • Research capacity development • Common language, research and users • Training and technology transfer
GFCS IV: Research • This side event will provide examples some research outcomes that could transition to operational products in support of climate services, e.g., • Seasonal predictions • Decadal predictions • Climate projections • Regionally downscaled products • Improved understanding to better predict extremes, monsoon rainfall, etc.
Questions to be addressed • What are the climate research products/outcomes that are ready for operational implementation in support of climate services? • What are the major operational challenges currently faced by NMHSs that need coordinated research efforts? • What are the potential mechanisms to expedite transition of research advances into improved/new operational products?
Presentations • Research products/outcomes • Dr. Colin Jones, SMHI, Sweden • Operational challenges • Dr. Aida Diongue Niang, DMN, Senegal • Transition mechanisms • Dr Derrick Ryall, MetOffice, UK
