About this website
This website is operated by the Tokyo Climate Center (TCC) of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) to improve climate services provided by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs). Such improvement is based on the sharing of related experience and information on good practices in the application of climate data in fields such as agriculture, health and water management.

Climate services today play increasingly important roles in helping various socio-economic sectors to reduce the negative impacts of climate-related disasters and adapt appropriately to climate change and global warming. Against such a background, NMHSs need to provide high-quality, high-precision climate information and engage in various activities related to the Global Frameworks for Climate Services (GFCS) initiative. In this context, it is important to share information on climate services, good practices and lessons learned in climate-related activities, especially among NMHSs in the same climatological regions, to support the improvement of their own climate services, avoid duplication of efforts and minimize the risk of failure. However, such important information has not so far been fully shared among NMHSs in WMO Regional Association II (RA II).
Accordingly, a decision was taken at the 15th session of RA II (Doha, Qatar, December 2012) to establish a pilot project for the collection and sharing of information on climate services provided by NMHSs as well as activities related to GFCS. This dedicated website for the project played a key role in its implementation and helped to improve the sharing of information on climate services in RA II.
After the pilot project was completed by the time of the 16th session of RA II (Abu Dhabi, UAE, February 2017), a decision was taken at the session to continue enhancing information sharing in the region because there was still room for improvement. Accordingly, TCC continues to maintain the website for this purpose and contribute to the improvement of climate services in RA II.
