WG5: Toward Actual Collaboration among Climate, Water Cycle, and Disasters

Bhutan, August 2008

Typhoon, Cyclone, and Induced FloodSharing adaptation and counter measuresEstablishment of a frameworks for developing well knowledge of “climate model” Providing decision making supports to responsible bodies. Recognizing difference between design/planning and operational purposes. Expecting possible cooperation with Typhoon Committee.Enhancing collaboration with ocean groups through data and knowledge sharing.

DroughtPromoting regional cooperation to address the large scale Promoting strong cooperation with agriculture and heat wave prediction including healthMaking maximum use of satellite soil moisture products by combining with in-situ data.

Cold SurgeCoupling with local processes, large-scale circulation and MJOPromoting collaborative study between science communities and operational sectors.

Snow/Glacier/GLOFRecognizing regional cooperation, satellite data set accumulation led by ICMODEnhancing monitoring capabilityDeveloping early warning systemsPromoting collaboration with WCRP/CliC Aisa, China, JAMSTEC

In GeneralActivating modeling activity and accumulating knowledgePromoting collaboration among data integration centersConsidering the characteristic meteorological environment in the Equatorial region

ObjectivesTo accelerate the GEOSS/AWCI coordination, we discuss how to cooperate and coordinate among different societal benefit areas, Climate, Water cycle and Disasters, and to make plans for carrying the ideas into actions and sharing implementation experiences.

Toward regional and interdisciplinary collaboration for addressing our common water-related issues in Asia by making maximum use of GEOSS

Common questions:How to collaborate with some specific Demonstration Projects throughcoordination?Which kind of data do you need to promote activities?Which types of CP programs do you need?

Climate Change Adaptations – DroughtHow to focus Drought WG activities on CCA in cooperation with DPs? How to collaborate with Water Quality WG in the context of CCA?

Climate Change Adaptations – Snow, Glacier and GLOFHow to activate snow, glacier and GLOF in cooperation with DPs?

Climate Change Adaptations – Typhoon, Cyclone, and Induced FloodsHow to focus Flood WG activities CCA in cooperation with DPs? How to collaborate with Water Quality WG in the context of CCA?
