  1. COMMISSION FOR ATMOSPHERC SCIENCES (CAS)ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (AREP) Report on Activities of the Commission for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS) and Atmospheric Research and Environment Programme (AREP) in Support of the WMO DPM Programme Dr. Michel Béland, President of CAS Dr. Len Barrie, Director, AREP Dr. Slobodan Nickovic, Scientific Officer, ARREP WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva

  2. CAS Mandate Support of research in atmospheric science to: • Reduce and mitigate natural disasters, • Protect the environment, • Enhance understanding and response to environmental change through the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) and World Weather Research Programme (WWRP-THORPEX) WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva

  3. CAS COMPONENTS: 2006-2010 WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva

  4. CAS: WWRP-THORPEX • Goals – to improve forecasting of • High-impact weather (tropical storms, monsoons) • Clouds and precipitation • Chemical Weather • Sand and dust storms WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva

  5. Deliverables • Warning on extreme-weather related hazards • Improvement of forecast skill • Designing strategy for interactive forecasting and observation • Data assimilation for satellite and in situ data • Testing the effectiveness of a global ensemble forecasting system • Status • Early implementation stage; timeline: 2005-2014 • Responsible • OPAG-WWRP • Crosscutting cooperation • CBS, CIMO, CCI, All RA’s WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva

  6. Global Interactive Forecast System based on THORPEX INTERACTIVE GLOBAL GRAND ENSEMBLE (TIGGE) Ensembles of global forecasts conducted by three Centres (CMA, ECMWF & NCAR) Distributed archives providing regional products WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva

  7. WMO Sand and Dust Storm Warning System • WWRP/GAW Sand and Dust Storm (SDS) Projectwas established in September 2004 • The Development of a Regional Sand and Dust Storm Early Warning System in East Asiawas presented at the Third International Early Warning Conference, Bonn, Germany, 27-29 March 2006 • A new proposal on WMO Sand and Dust Storm (SDS) Warning System extending the scope to two other regionshas been accepted at the Scientific Steering Committee meeting for SDS Project (November 2006 Shanghai, China) PROJECT OBJECTIVE: To establish a WMO-coordinated global network of SDS forecasting centers delivering products useful to a wide range of users for reducing the impacts of SDS WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva

  8. A WMO survey in 2006: more than 40 Member States expressed interest to participate in SDS project

  9. Deliverables • Designated three Regional WMO SDS Warning System (SDSWS) Centres: • Spain (for the Europe/Africa/Middle East region) • China (for the Eastern Asia region) • Canada (for the Southern America region) • Research operational SDS forecasts provided by eight organizations within the above three regions • Establishing a WMO SDSWS portal to support the above activities • Established an expert group for SDSWS implementation • Proposed an Secretariat-based group in support of SDSWS activities and cross-cutting issues • WMO/GEO Expert Meeting on International Sand and Dust Storm Warning System” to be organized in Barcelona, Spain in November 2007; WMO DPM Programme Coordination Meeting, 4-6 December, Geneva
