UNFCCC Technical Workshop under the NWP on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change
Collaboration among Regional Centres and Networks 2nd to 5th March 2010
Apia, Samoa
Kiribati Perspective�Data and Observations
Gaps and opportunities for regional centre and networks collaboration

Kiribati Meteorological Service� Main source of data and observations for climate and non‐climatic conditions
� KMS Data and Observations in Adaptation Planning
� Temperature� Atmospheric pressure� Humidity� Wind� Cloudiness� Extremes‐ Drought /Storms � Rainfall� Sea level (historical data from University of Hawaii tide gauges)
� But clearly lacking institutional capacity for analysis and interpretation for use in adaptation planning

KMS Data and Observation Gaps
� Data and observational Gaps‐� Solar Radiation ‐monitoring � Quantitative data on humidity, temperature inversion, etc
� Oceanographic data and where available � there is lack of capacity for analysis
Dependent on larger MET services in the region for climate outlooks and oceanographic forecasts and monitoring
![Page 4: UNFCCC Technical Workshop under NWP Collaboration among ... · UNFCCC Technical Workshop under the NWP on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change Collaboration among](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020319/5d12402488c99377398bfc19/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Constraints in Data collection and Observations � Kiribati
� Need for Upgrading basic observations/communications infrastructure essential for services to be improved
� Maintenance of equipments‐reliance on external meteorological services expertise (NZ)
� Capacity to analyse data and observations� Capacity to forecast extremes � Clear lack of resources to keep up with advances in met services technology

Opportunities for enhancing services of KMS
� Ongoing NMS and Regional MET services review commissioned by PIFS and currently undertaken by SPREP �and recommendations for strengthening regional centres and collaborations
� WMO assistance and METService (NZ Ltd) expertise in developing a strategic development plan for Kiribati MET service
� Ongoing support of BoM (Australia) through Pacific Islands Climate Prediction Project (PICPP), Pacific Climate Climate Science Programme (PCCSP) andNew Zealand (NZ)‐ Island Climate Update programe (ICU)

Opportunities for Regional Centres collaborations
� Strengthen existing regional networks and collaboration particularly the linkages between regional and national meteorological services� Example‐Current collaboration among Pacific Regional centres, particularly SPREP, SOPAC and RMSDs to strengthen Regional Met Services
� National adaptation planning in grave need of Climate variability and associated seasonal/interannual prediction‐� Example �SPREP climate change portal and ICCAI support
![Page 10: UNFCCC Technical Workshop under NWP Collaboration among ... · UNFCCC Technical Workshop under the NWP on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change Collaboration among](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020319/5d12402488c99377398bfc19/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Regional Centres/Network entry point for in‐country collaborations
� Regional services and collaborations must complement national meteorological services particularly in areas that are beyond NMS capacities
� Ongoing collaborations with NMS to build capacity through training of partner country meteorological officers in climate data management, analysis and interpretation � Example‐ The Pacific Climate Change Science Programme (PCCSR) under the International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative (ICCAI) by the Australian Government

entry points conts
� Harmonisation of data and observation analysis and interpretations � Example‐ data collected by current networks interpreted using variety of models and tools
� Example‐ Products streaming out of networks need to be harmonised for usability in adaptation planning. E.g NIWA Island Climate Update and BoM PI‐CCP‐Climate Outlook
� Regional centres collaboration, ‐research projects, data rescue and management
