Director General Lin Chenfu and his colleague from the Busan Office of Taipei Mission in Korea Visited the APEC Climate Center
Executive Director Do-Shick Shin of the APEC Climate Center (APCC) welcomed Director General Lin Chenfu and his colleague from the Busan Office of Taipei Mission in Korea at the Executive Director's Office of the APEC Climate Center at Haeundae-Gu, Busan, on June 21, 2022 and held a meeting on ways to expand exchange and cooperation in the climate sector between APCC and Taiwanese climate sector.Currently, the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) in Taipei, Taiwan. is a climate information provider that supplies its own climate information for the APCC Multi-Model Ensemble Scheme and an organization that uses the APCC climate prediction information. Therefore, CWB is a direct stakeholder in the APCC's climate prediction.APCC and CWB jointly hosted the ‘2019 International Workshop on Climate Prediction: Past, Present and Future’ from 3 to 4 June 2019, and then held the 3rd APCC Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) Model Providers’ Meeting (the Meeting) at CWB between 5 and 6 June 2019.​ Date : 2022.06.27
APCC Held an Internal Seminar, Inviting Prof. Ahn, Joong Bae from Pusan National University
The APEC Climate Center (APCC) held an internal seminar on June 14, 2022 by inviting Professor Ahn, Joong Bae from Pusan National University (PNU) at the APCC building.Professor Ahn, Joong Bae of Pusan National University made a presentation on ‘the Operation of PNU Coupled General Circulation Model (CGCM) and Seasonal Climate Predictability Analysis’ at the seminar.The Coupled General Circulation Model (CGCM) is a major means for understanding and predicting the Earth system, and many climate collaboration organizations around the world, such as Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Meteorological Office (Met Office), also use the CGCM to make seasonal climate predictions.

The APEC Climate Center (APCC) signs an MOU with Greenlabs on Climate Change in Agriculture
APCC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Korea's biggest AgTech startup Greenlabs at the Greenlabs' headquarter in Seoul on May 3, 2022.This agreement seeks opportunities to accelerate the utilization of climate information in agriculture, a sector sensitive to climate change. The cooperation between the two companies aims to combat extreme climate and support developing countries, ultimately advancing citizens' quality of life and ensuring balanced national development.Through this MoU, APCC and Greenlabs will cooperate in securing agricultural productivity and conducting decarbonization projects by utilizing the climate prediction model. In addition, the two organizations will exchange information and conduct domestic and foreign joint projects regarding climate change and extreme weather. They will also co-host academic seminars, workshops, and exchange research, publications, and other materials.​Articles published in foreign media1.

APCC Commenced Its Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation Forecast for the Year 2022 from 1 May, 2022
The APEC Climate Center (APCC) commenced its Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) forecast for the year 2022 at its website from 1 May, 2022.BSISO forecast plays an important role in predicting the beginning and the characteristics of the Asian summer monsoon. The Oscillation is a large-scale convection, with a period of 15 to 60 days. It originates over the Indian Ocean, gradually traveling eastward as well as north with a diverse structure. It affects the beginning of the Asian summer monsoon, circulation of atmosphere, and weather patterns.Also, BSISO forecast provides information that helps predict dry and wet seasons in Asia by tracing large scale zones of precipitation. It plays an important role in predicting hydrometeorological extreme weather phenomena. Users can therefore prepare for disasters like heavy rainfall, drought, and heat wave.BSISO impact anomaly as a content of BSISO forecast shows local impact of BSISO activity over the Asian monsoon region for various variables such as temperature, precipitation, wind and so on. Also, users are able to download forecast indices from participating models and find model information. It is expected that these contents help users get more intuitive and useful information. At the same time, the climatological reference period was changed to the last 30 years from 1981 to 2010 to 1991 to 2020.APCC first provided BSISO forecast services at its website, in cooperation with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE) and the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) Task Force on July 1, 2013.BSISO Forecast Website :https://apcc21.org/ser/meth.do?lang=en Date : 2022.05.04
APCC Has Commenced a Fire & Haze Forecasts for Borneo Island in Southeast Asia for the year 2022
The APEC Climate Center (APCC) has officially launched its Fire and Haze forecasts for Borneo Island in Southeast Asia for the year 2022, starting from April 20 on our website (https://apcc21.org/ser/sea.do?lang=en). The forecast will be updated every month on the 20th, and is available from April to July each year.Haze from forest fires is among Southeast Asia’s most serious environmental problems. APCC’s Fire & Haze Early Warning System (FHEWS) will help provide information that can help prevent forest fire and mitigate their impacts in the region.It provides forecast information on both precipitation and the probability of forest fires in Borneo Island’s four provinces for the August to October (ASO) season when the region has the highest risk for forest fires.
