On May 25, World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) of the World Meteorological Organization held its third online international workshop in 2023. The programme aims to harness the value chain approach to study and evaluate forecasting and warning services for high-impact weather from the perspective of observation, weather forecasting, disaster forecasting, impact forecasting, warning, decision-making and response, and to analyze the connection and interactions between the upstream and downstream, end-to-end link of the weather forecasting and warning chain.
During the workshop, experts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)?shared the results of the evaluation of the ECMWF model for Storm MOCHA affecting Myanmar and the Bay of Bengal, and demonstrated the 9 km resolution global ensemble forecasting Model of E-suite.
Experts from MetService of New Zealand reported the strongest rainstorm and flood event on record in Auckland, New Zealand, in January 2023 and its forecasting and warning processes. Experts from the Met Office presented the latest information on impact forecasting, analyzed several cases of severe convection and heavy precipitation in the UK in 2022 using the value chain, and presented a 1 km high-resolution hydrologic impact forecast product. Other international experts also reported relevant research progress.
In the next step, in addition to continuing participating in the High-Impact Weather Project (HIWeather) of WWRP and learning about the latest forecasting and warning technologies of extreme weather events from the advanced international operational centres, the operational office of World Meteorological Centre Beijing (WMC-BJ) will actively organize and engage in global high-impact weather case studies and share the progresses and effectiveness of China's severe weather operational services, and further promote relevant international technical exchanges and cooperation.
