This side event will gather feedback on expediting climate research results into timely, services-focused products. Key discussions will emphasize the need for effective dialogue between research and user communities while highlighting capacity development, common language, and technology transfer. Participants will explore examples of research outcomes ready for operational implementation, such as seasonal and decadal predictions and enhanced understanding of climatic extremes. Key questions will address operational challenges faced by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and potential solutions for transition mechanisms.

GFCS IV: CLIMATE RESEARCHIntegrating Climate Research to Support NMHSs in the Operational Delivery of Climate ServicesDr Antonio Busalacchi, Chair, WCRP Joint Scientific Committee
GFCS IV: Research • This side event will seek feedback on the most effective mechanisms for expediting the research results to services-focused products in a timely manner; • Need for an effective dialogue between research and user communities • Research capacity development • Common language, research and users • Training and technology transfer
GFCS IV: Research • This side event will provide examples some research outcomes that could transition to operational products in support of climate services, e.g., • Seasonal predictions • Decadal predictions • Climate projections • Regionally downscaled products • Improved understanding to better predict extremes, monsoon rainfall, etc.
Questions to be addressed • What are the climate research products/outcomes that are ready for operational implementation in support of climate services? • What are the major operational challenges currently faced by NMHSs that need coordinated research efforts? • What are the potential mechanisms to expedite transition of research advances into improved/new operational products?
Presentations • Research products/outcomes • Dr. Colin Jones, SMHI, Sweden • Operational challenges • Dr. Aida Diongue Niang, DMN, Senegal • Transition mechanisms • Dr Derrick Ryall, MetOffice, UK
