MMD’S FUNCTIONS
1. Enhance the meteorological, climatological and geophysical
service system for:
safety and operational efficiency in the air, land, sea and
military;
homeland security (such as disaster management and threats
from climate change, extreme weather, earthquake and
tsunami);
public safety and comfort; and
social economic development planning and environmental
management
2. Enhance the observation system, and establish and regulate the
national database of meteorology, climate, seismology and
tsunami to meet the needs of present and future generations.
3. Protecting national interests at the international level and to
promote the understanding and advancement in meteorological,
climatological, seismological and tsunami sciences in the
country.
