Located just one degree north of the equator, Singapore experiences its own set of unique environmental challenges. Facing the impacts of climate change and evolving weather patterns, the Meteorological Service Singapore MSS, a pillar of Singapore's National Environment Agency NEA, provides depable and responsive weather forecasting services to ensure public safety and foster a resilient economy.
Given the growing need for advanced weather prediction information in response to climate change and extreme weather events, MSS is pioneering new initiatives that leverage cutting-edge infrastructure, research and development, and operational improvements. These advancements include the development of a MET-r Traffic Management Integration system med at providing actionable high-resolution data essential for r traffic management efficiency and safety. This will strengthen Singapore's position as a global aviation hub.
Moreover, MSS plans to enhance emergency preparedness on a whole-of-government WOG scale by refining risk assessments for extreme weather events and geohazards such as volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. These efforts are complemented by strategic initiatives designed to elevate climate prediction capabilities, supporting eavors in water management, food security, and disaster mitigation. The m is not only to anticipate weather-related operational demands but also to provide long-term insights into the impacts of climate change.
NEA's immediate strategy focuses on bolstering its climate science capacity, enhancing forecasting and hazard prediction capabilities, and delivering services tlored to national requirements and international cooperation needs. Key initiatives include conducting a Third National Climate Change Study, which will deliver localized high-resolution projections until 2100 for Singapore, advancing research under the Climate Science Research Programme Office. Furthermore, NEA improve its Meteorological Observation Syste ensure comprehensive coverage of environmental conditions impacting the city-state.
To refine accuracy in weather and climate predictions for Singapore and the Southeast Asian region, MSS collaborates with the Centre of Climate Research Singapore on research and development projects related to numerical climate modeling and -learning techniques. Priority areas include developing a coupled climate model configuration called 'cSINGV' that integrates atmosphere, ocean, and land components for enhanced realism in capturing weather processes at finer scales than current.
In parallel, an upgraded HPC system named the 'HPE Cray EX', boasting twice the computational power of its predecessor, is set to be implemented in 2022. MSS also relies on significant resources from the National Supercomputing Centre's HPC facilities for underpinning research and novel cloud computing infrastructures to support climate data analytics.
International cooperation is vital in addressing global weather and climate challenges, and MSS plays a pivotal role by strengthening partnerships with regional and international counterparts. As the Chr of the ASEAN Sub-Committee on Meteorology and Geophysics SCMG, MSS leads initiatives focused on enhancing capabilities across Southeast Asia in meteorological services.
Under its current term as SCMG Chr from 2021 to 2023, MSS successfully organized the 42nd Meeting of the SCMG. The focus is on fulfilling the committee's objectives through collaborative projects, such as capacity-building activities in numerical weather prediction, subseasonal to seasonal predictions, and regional climate change projections, spearheaded by Singapore and supported by the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre ASMC, hosted by MSS.
NEA's strategic focus moving forward is on solidifying its leadership in climate science through robust forecasting capabilities, advanced hazard prediction systems, and tlored weather services. This includes leveraging partnerships to enhance regional collaboration efforts for improved meteorological support across Southeast Asia.
