  1. Japan’s pilot project on user interface platform for agriculture Shotaro TANAKA Tokyo Climate Center Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA)

  2. Introduction Pilot Project Users Development of an early warning system for agriculture User Interface Platform (UIP) Climate Services Information System (CSIS) Observation and Monitoring Research, Modeling and Prediction Capacity Development GFCS five pillars and their links to users

  3. Climate risk impacts on various fields JMA is making efforts to develop best practices to use climate information in various sectors. Impacts on Agricultural products Impacts on Retail selling - Cold/heat waves hinder the growth of agricultural products. - Heavyrainfall or drought causes destruction of crops. - Cold/heat waves damage the selling of clothes and electric appliances. Impacts on Human Health - Heat waves increase the risk of heat stroke. And so on…

  4. A pilot project for agriculture: rice production Impacts on Rice production - Cold/hot summer conditions cause damage to rice. Provider User/Intermediary Collaboration! Agricultural Research Institute (NARO/TARC*) JMA * National Agriculture and Food Research Organization/Tohoku Agricultural Research Center

  5. Key processes of cooperative Pilot Project Goal 3 2 1 Start 1. Dialogue & Sharing knowledge 2. Developing technology 3. Spreading best practices

  6. Developing Technology Making 7-day mean temp.(T7d) prediction ata 1-km resolution up to two weeks ahead Dialogue & Sharing knowledge Agricultural Research Inst. JMA New Product + = Numerical Weather Prediction Climatological normal of T7d (1km-resolution) Mean value of predicted T7d anomalies (regional-scale) Mean value of predicted T7d (1km-resolution)

  7. Tailoring and experimental provision • The agricultural research institute (NARO/TARC) tailors temperature prediction to customized information for agriculture. • Farmers can view the information for their registered pointson the Internet and receive an alert • by e-mail. Website Tailored climate information Agricultural Research Institute (NARO/TARC) Farmers Action! Feedback by questionnaire survey * Incollaboration with the Faculty of Software and Information Science at Iwate Prefectural University (IPU)

  8. Tailoring and experimental provision - On 7 Aug., 2012, predicted probability of temperatures of ≥27 ºC was 57% (normal: 20%) during the period from 15 to 21. - The agricultural research institute called farmers to take countermeasures controlling water depth in their rice fieldsto avoid poor grain filling in rice crops. Seven-day mean temperature anomaly (Tohoku region) [ºC] Target 6 Click! 4 2 0 1 Aug. 1 Sep. 2012 -2 Issued on 7 Aug.

  9. Spreading best practices • JMA provides the results of the pilot project to other sectors and the public. • JMA and the Agricultural Research Institute started collaborative projects for other regions than Tohoku (in northern Japan). • JMA initiated dialogue, sharing knowledge and climate risk assessments with other user sectors (e.g. apparel, energy) to develop tailored information.
