  2. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland • National Climate Monitoring Productsin WMO RA II: • Monitoring products • Climate Variables • Baseline period for norms • Language • 2. Examples • 3. Recommendations for Climate Monitoring Products

  3. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland Members of Regional Association II (Asia) - 35countries - National climate monitoring products on national Web-site - Monitoring products are presented on North EurAsia Climate Centre Web site

  4. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland Monitoring products • Annual reports • Monthly Weather Summary • Year's Weather Climatic conditions on the… • Bulletin of the climate monitoring • Monthly weather review • . . . (Tables, report, statistics, graphics, maps, etc.)

  5. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland Climate Variables • Temperature - is presented in 20 countries • Precipitation 23 • Extreme events 4 • Sunshine duration 3 • Pressure 1 • Humidity 2 • Wind2 • Snow depth 2 • Number of days with snow cover 1 • Snow water equivalent 1 • Major permafrost characteristics1 • Solar radiation 1 • Droughtindex 3 • River breakup dates1 • etc.

  6. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland Baseline period for norms 1961 - 1990 - 6 countries 1971 – 2000 5 1981 – 2010 2 First - 2005 1 The baseline period for 19 countries cannot be identified from website 2 countries

  7. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland Baseline period for norms • I suggest the period 1971-2000. • Because: • Databases for this period are more complete • Fewer changes in data observation and data processing techniques • For example: • In Russia, no changes in data measurement and data processing techniques in precipitation observations took place after 1966 • In the early 1950s, broken homogeneity in data was in many cases associated with the instrument change (raingage with Tretyakov protection was installed); • Beginning in January 1966, a correction for wetting started to be used directly at the station. • Therefore, after 1966 the series of precipitation totals can be considered homogeneous.

  8. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland WMO Language 15 countries have Climate Monitoring Products in English 5 countries in Russian 3 countries in Chinese

  9. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/ Japan Examples: This page outlines two series of publications issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).The first is the Global Warming Projection The second is the Climate Change Monitoring Report, which covers the climatic conditions of Japan and the world, recent trends in greenhouse gas concentrations and ozone layer depletion to give a comprehensive perspective of global climate change.JMA monitors long-term changes in global average surface temperature anomalies for the purpose of monitoring global warming. This page shows long-term changes in annual and monthly anomalies of the global average surface temperat

  13. Meeting of the CCL Task Team on National Climate Monitoring Products 12-14 September 2011, Geneva, Switzerland Recommendations for Climate Monitoring Products • Description of data is necessary : • - space distribution of the station ( map would be very useful) • - the period used to estimate extreme values; • 2) National and global assessment must be done in comparison with standard normals (I suggest the period 1971-2000); • 3) Estimation of temperature and precipitation anomalies (as main meteorological characteristics) for the country as a whole should be done. If the territory of the country is large or there are regional particularities, additional average estimations on a region or a climatic zone should be calculated. • 4) Description of specific meteorological characteristics for the given countries. For example, for Russia and Canada - snow cover characteristics, for Japan - tropical cyclones, etc.) • 5) Description of climatic conditions for the year (as a whole), season and month. Daily data (temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) may be used to describe individual monthly anomaliesand extreme events. • Description of extreme events in the national climate monitoring product is very important. • Special climate monitoring product (estimates of special characteristics) for different sector would be very useful.
