2. WEATHER AND CLIMATE SERVICES
TMA provides meteorological and climate services, advice, products and warnings for sustainable development and various sectors
Public Weather Services - Forecasts and Warnings;
Aeronautical Weather Services - enroute, take off and landing, route planning, airport and runway planning;
Agrometeorological services – Agric. operations (planting, weeding, spraying), irrigation, yield estimation;
Disaster Management; warnings, seasonal forecast, Tsunami.
Marine Operations – Fishing, recreation, transport, oil exploration;
Water Resources Management;

3. SERVICES Cont….
Other Sectors benefiting from meteorological services are:
Energy generation and distribution;
Health – malaria, cholera, RVF etc;
Tourism and sports; climate and specialized forecast
Building and construction – roads, dams, bridges etc;
Commerce, Industries and Insurance;
Defence – Air Force, Navy, Infantry.

4. How we reach the society (User Interface)

(blog)
Advisories are given through underlined websites of;-
Farm SMS tool
Feedback from clients shows that 75% are satisfied with TMA services. (2013 analysis)

5. Current Status of Climate Services
Disaster Risk Reduction :- Warnings , Advisory
Seasonal Forecast
Daily weather Forecast
Below to Normal Rainfall very likely during the season
Potential Impacts
Suppressed moisture level due to increased frequency of dry spell~ crop yield
Reduced river flow discharges and water levels in rivers and dams
Excessive surface runoff and elevate flood risks
Outbreak of water borne diseases due to water shortage and poor sewage management
Increase of the likelihood of insufficient pasture in most areas of the pastorals and agro-pastorals, drying of livestock water infrastructures
Measures
Good practice of environmental conservations and ensure preparedness, response, and mitigation plan are in place

15. General expectations from CSIS
How can the Climate Services Information System assist efficiently in enabling effective climate service provision at the national level; specify for:
Climate Data aspects- Enhance access of data and other information to shape services
Climate Monitoring aspects: Enhance capacity in monitoring- hazards mapping
Climate Prediction aspects: Enhance capacity - data assimilation, impact based forecast, training (short and long term training)
Climate Projection aspects : Statistical adaptations , develop projection, research etc, capacity building- training, tools
User engagement aspects: Establishment of TMA Services Delivery Strategy ,
