Report from < RCC/NMHS > The Space-based Weather and Climate Extreme Events Monitoring (SWCEM) Demonstration Project (SEMDP) Workshop Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017 presenter (affiliation) SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

Cool Logo for SEMDP Here !! Background - The SEMDP is planned to develop an operational technique to utilize satellite derived products with CLIMAT and/or SYNOP data for the enhanced monitoring of extreme events; persistent heavy/little rainfall, and drought. - Through the case study in SEMDP, satellite derived products will be reviewed and validated with CLIMAT and/or SYNOP data. - It is a goal to do the enhanced monitoring of persistent heavy/little rainfall, and drought over relatively short periods from pentad (5-day), a week, up to a month using satellite data. SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

What are the major weather and climate extremes your RCC pay the most attention to   (e.g. persistent heavy/little rainfall; drought; strong wind; heat wave; …..) ? 0.2. What are the climate phenomena caused these extremes (e.g. typhoons; front systems; MJO; ENSO; …..) ? SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

Question 1: How do you define those extremes “Criteria” of Extreme Events for identifying the extreme events from CLIMAT and/or SYSNOP data (What degree an ongoing climate event is an extreme?) 1.1. What’s the criteria for identifying Persistent Heavy Rainfall (e.g. 90/95/99 percentiles, or setting other statistical threshold value)? How much is the detection accuracy?? 1.2. What’s the criteria for identifying Persistent Little Rainfall (e.g. 10/5/1 percentiles, or setting other statistical threshold value)? How much is the detection accuracy?? 1.3. What’s the criteria for identifying Drought? How much is the detection accuracy?? SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

Question 2: Monitoring Technique 2.1.  What data in use for monitoring those extremes in 1.1-1.3 (e.g. numerical model simulation; conventional observations (CLIMAT/SYNOP); satellite data; .....)? 2.2.  What target “duration” of those extremes in 1.1-1.3 (e.g. 5-day; weekly; monthly; …..)? 2.3.  What target “latency” of diagnostics of those extremes in 1.1-1.3 (e.g. within one day after the last week; within three days after the last month; ….. )? SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

How do you publish the results to users? (e.g. website; broadcasting (TV, Radio); paper media …..) If you have climate extremes website, please provide. https://....... 3.3. Which area of people are mainly using the results? SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

Question 4: Utilization of Satellite Products to facilitate/enhance the extreme events monitoring If you are already using satellite data for quantitative analysis of rainfall….. 4.1.1.  From where do you get those data (e.g. NASA server, NOAA server, JAXA server, …..)? 4.1.2. In what format (e.g. Binary; NetCDF; GeoTIFF; …..)? SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

Cool Logo for SEMDP Here !! Question 4 (conti.): If you are already using satellite data for quantitative analysis of drought ….. 4.2.1.  What geophysical variables derived from satellites do you use for monitoring drought (e.g. rainfall; soil moisture; wind speed; SST; land surface temp.; vegetation index; duration of sunshine; total amount of solar irradiance …..)? 4.2.2.  From where do you get these data (e.g. NASA server, NOAA server, JAXA server, …..)? 4.2.3. In what format (e.g. Binary; NetCDF; GeoTIFF; …..)? SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

Cool Logo for SEMDP Here !! Question 4 (conti.): If you are NOT using satellite data for quantitative analysis of extreme events ….. 4.3. What are the major obstacles in limiting your current use of satellite data (e.g. no “climate normal” available; computer resources limitation; Internet resource limitations; lack of information on the products; knowledge/skills to use such data; …..)? SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017

SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017 Question 5: Monitoring Tool 5.1.  What IT platform do you perform monitoring Extremes in operations? (e.g. Excel Sheet; GIS Application; …..) 5.2. If you are using GIS applications, could you provide the detailed usage?(e.g. overlaying map; other related information; …..) SEMDP Workshop, Jakarta, Indonesia, 19-22 March 2017
