Asia Pacific Climate Variability and Monitoring Capacity
Working Group Session on
Asia Pacific Climate Variability and Monitoring Capacity
Climate is one of the 9 GEOSS Social Benefit Areas, and its variability has been discussed through the past three symposia, mainly concerning so-called global warming with a centennial scale. However, the climate variability ranges over a broader band of time scales interacting with each other. In particular shorter variability with interannual, annual, intraseasonal and diurnal time scales are enhanced dominantly in the maritime continent and surrounding oceans, where the capacity to monitor the climate has been developed rapidly through the GEOSS activities. Such variability is propagated globally and often affects the other GEOSS Social Benefit Areas such as disasters, water, weather, etc. Therefore, in this session, we overview our understanding of such climate variability, and point out problems in the monitoring networks constructed so far in order to obtain a strategy in the future. At the goal (around 2015) of the 10-year implementation period of GEOSS, commitment of many more countries than at the start (2005) is necessary to share the capacity and to promote monitoring.
