Services climatiques – Transition du projet CLIPS au CMSC
En 1995, le Congrès météorologique mondial a établi le projet CLIPS (Services d’information et de prévision climatologiques) afi n de fournir les meilleures informations possible sur le climat, y compris des projections sur les conditions futures, afi n d’étayer la prise de décisions d’ordre économique et social en vue de réduire les risques, de stimuler le dynamisme économique et d’améliorer la qualité de vie des populations. Depuis sa création le projet CLIPS a contribué à accroître nos connaissances sur le climat, à améliorer les capacités des services opérationnels de prévision des conditi ...

Depuis sa création le projet CLIPS a contribué à accroître nos connaissances sur le climat, à améliorer les capacités des services opérationnels de prévision des conditions climatiques et à donner aux Services météorologiques et hydrologiques nationaux (SMHN) de plus amples moyens pour procurer l’information climatologique dont ont besoin les parties intéressées.

Climate Services - Transitioning from CLIPS to GFCS
Bulletin, Vol. 64(1). WMO, 2015In 1995, the World Meteorological Congress established the Climate Information and Prediction Services (CLIPS) project “to provide the best possible climate information, including expectations of future conditions, to improve economic and social decisions that will reduce risks and improve economic vitality as well as quality of life.” Since, CLIPS has strived to increase climate knowledge, improve operational climate prediction capabilities, and develop the capacities of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to deliver climate information to meet the needs of stakeholders. ...

Challenges of a Sustained Climate Observing System
Observations of planet Earth and especially all climate system components and forcings are increasingly needed for planning and decision making related to climate services in the broadest sense. Although significant progress has been made, much more remains to be done before a fully functional climate observing system exists. Observations are needed on all spatial scales from local to global, and all time scales, especially to understand and document changes in extremes. Climate change from human activities adds both a new dimension and an imperative: to acquire climate observations of suffici ...

Published by: WMO ; 2011Observations of planet Earth and especially all climate system components and forcings are increasingly needed for planning and decision making related to climate services in the broadest sense. Although significant progress has been made, much more remains to be done before a fully functional climate observing system exists. Observations are needed on all spatial scales from local to global, and all time scales, especially to understand and document changes in extremes. Climate change from human activities adds both a new dimension and an imperative: to acquire climate observations of sufficient quality and coverage, and analyze them into products for multiple purposes to inform decisions for mitigation, adaptation, assessing vulnerability and impacts, geo--‐engineering, and predicting climate variability and change and their consequences. A major challenge is to adequately deal with the continually changing observing system, especially from satellites and other autonomous platforms such as in the ocean. Even with new computational tools, further challenges remain to provide adequate analysis, processing, meta--‐data, archival, access, and management of the resulting data and the data products. As volumes of data continue to grow, so do the challenges of distilling information to allow us to understand what is happening and why, and what the implications are for the future.

Advancing adaptation through climate information services : results of a global survey on the information requirements of the financial sector
UNEP FI, 2011Financial institutions need more developed information services regarding the physical impacts of changing weather patterns. The survey showed that with the risks of climate change expected to increase, financial service providers need enhanced access and availability of climate information to further enhance related risk management within their industry. The influence of these financial institutions worldwide could in this way play a key role in accelerating the implementation of adaptation measures by the private sector more broadly. The report, sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Ed ...

Published by: UNEP FI ; 2011Financial institutions need more developed information services regarding the physical impacts of changing weather patterns. The survey showed that with the risks of climate change expected to increase, financial service providers need enhanced access and availability of climate information to further enhance related risk management within their industry. The influence of these financial institutions worldwide could in this way play a key role in accelerating the implementation of adaptation measures by the private sector more broadly. The report, sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, presents the results of an international survey undertaken by the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) of UNEP FI and the Sustainable Business Institute (SBI), Germany. A total of 60 institutions from all continents took part in the survey, including both developed and developing countries. “As a leading insurance group we can observe in our data base in some regions a change of loss patterns from weather catastrophes in the past decades”, said Ernst Rauch, Head Corporate Climate Centre at Munich Re and a member of the CCWG. “To secure risk transfer to the private insurance sector in the future, the understanding of potential impacts from climate change on losses from atmospheric perils is essential. The relevance of climate data and their interpretation for business purposes will play a more and more important role in the future”.

Agricultural Meteorology Programme (AgMP), 100. Impact of the Use of Meteorological and Climatological Data on Fisheries and Aquaculture
There are two sections of this report. The first section gives an overview of the relationship between climate and fisheries and aquaculture in China and Vietnam. Specifically, the first section elaborates on the distribution of various freshwater and saltwater aquatic resources, the various climate related issues involved in aquaculture such as raising fish in pools, prawn farming, pearl farming, and harvesting open-water and artificially-raised fish, and the transportation and processing of aquatic products. The section concludes by discussing the various climatic problems with aquaculture a ...

Introduction to Climate Change: lecture notes for meteorologists
This compendium provides material on the science of climate change, assuming that students already have the basic understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics and relevant physical processes in the atmosphere. Although designed as training material, it also attempts to respond to the needs for monitoring climate change, to help governing bodies to understand the scientific issues and to provide information to the general public.
