The project also had an impact on countries not originally included because of budget constraints. Indeed, the regional climate data base includes three other countries in the RCCSSA (Chile, Bolivia and Uruguay) not supported by the CRN\u20103035 project but which are IAI members. These countries benefited from the data procedures and protocols developed with IAI funding.<\/p>\n\n

Results<\/h3>\n\n

This is a summary of the most salient project results. For further information see the project website, project papers or contact the investigators directly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The team established a quality controlled (QC) weather database to develop climate information products for stakeholders. The project now implemented automatic data updating and preliminary checking every 10 days. The Met Services in the\u00a0Regional Climate Center for Southern South America (CRC-SAS)<\/a>\u00a0ftp their data to the site. The\u00a0Intergovernmental Committee for the La Plata Basin (CIC)<\/a>\u00a0plans to expand this database with a regional hydrological information system.<\/p>\n\n

Published procedures used for QC scripts are implemented in R to make the process open access. Among the QC procedures, spatial tests that use information from neighboring weather stations are most effective. Records flagged as \u201csuspicious\u201d are being verified against official climate records in each country. Corrections are done, without overwriting original, erroneous values. The use of 5 methods for missing data imputation, followed by an \u201censemble\u201d calculation taking the mean or median provide more reliable interpolations than any single method.<\/p>\n\n

Data were used for drought maps based on the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). 4 other drought indicators:1) the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI),2) precipitation deciles,3) categories of precipitation levels from Brazil\u2019s INMET, and4) the percentage of normal precipitation,automatically determine the timing, duration, and intensity of droughts or water excess. Indices calculated for 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months provided animated spatial time-series of droughts.<\/p>\n\n

Linking the meteorological database of the CRC-SAS with crop models allowed yield forecasts for 14 locations in the Argentine Pampas using climate-crop models that include observed data up to the day of the forecast. Correlations between accumulated moisture, consecutive days without rain, and yield in specific regions provided input for index insurance calculations, but also showed the need for a better network of weather stations. Alternative satellite-derived precipitation estimates are being validated and the use of the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) to develop soil-moisture monitoring indices is being evaluated.<\/p>\n\n

Integration with long-term weather data showed: opposite phases of the main modes of SST anomalies produce differences larger than 50% in monthly precipitation, with a greater relative impact of the interdecadal oscillations on the extremes of daily rainfall than on moderate rainfall ranges. There were predictable differences between Central and East ENSO influence on La Plata Basin precipitation. Intraseasonal Madden-Julian (MJO) anomalies over South America are important for heavy rainfall over the South Atlantic convergence zone. Management of climate risks and opportunities requires an enhanced capacity to \u201ctranslate\u201d such climate information and predictions into sector-specific information. This work relied heavily on individual and institutional networking to join expertises.<\/p>\n\n

The monitoring and analysis of the dynamics of cooperation and collaborative production of knowledge between scientists (social and natural) and stakeholders around the provision of climate services in SESA by the recently launched RCC-SSA is a hallmark of the project, in a context where rapid changes in demand for usable and relevant climate information at regional level urge the improvement of governance practices and the promotion of a deeper sectoral involvement.<\/p>\n\n

Development of water excess\/deficit soil-moisture-related indices for application in the agricultural and cattle sector<\/h3>\n\n

Lead: Andrea Celeste Saulo<\/em>Centro de Investigaciones del Mar y de la Atm\u00f3sfera (CIMA), Buenos Aires<\/em><\/p>\n\n

This project on climate services focuses on an under-addressed variable: soil moisture. The assumption is the existence of soil-atmosphere coupling, particularly in some areas of the Pampas region and at moments when climate indices such as El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a are in neutral phase. The project examines how surface status affects rainfall occurrence. The expected product is a water excess\/deficit index based on soil moisture information derived from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). The index is expected to be more sound than the existing ones and to have direct application in agricultural decision-making in the Argentine Pampas and the south of South America.<\/p>\n\n

Executive summary<\/h3>\n\n

Climate variability and change affect a variety of societal sectors, regions and issues \u2212 including sustainable development, poverty mitigation and food security. Decision makers at many levels\u2013households, communities, regions and countries\u2013 will need usable information that combines state-of-the-art climate science with an integrative understanding of the dynamics of affected social-ecological systems. Existing institutional arrangements seem insufficient to provide the comprehensive and credible knowledge needed. Thus there is growing interest in \u201cclimate services\u201d \u2212 defined as \u201cthe timely production and delivery of useful climate data, information, and knowledge to decision makers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The objectives of this project are to: (i) conduct research and outreach to inform resilient decision-making in climate-sensitive sectors such as agricultural production and water resources management in southeastern South America, one of the major food-producing regions in the world, and (ii) facilitate sustainable societal adaptation to a shifting and changing climate. Project activities are organized around four main research foci: (1) the production, interpretation, assessment, and synthesis of diagnostic and forecast climate information on multiple time scales; (2) \u201ctailoring,\u201d communication, and dissemination of that information; (3) \u201ctranslation\u201d of climate information into plausible impacts and outcomes (including ranges of uncertainty or credibility) of viable adaptive actions in agricultural production and water management; (4) exploration of the institutional structures needed to support the provision of climate services.<\/p>\n\n

Since the early stages of the project, a wide range of relevant stakeholders will work closely with CRN researchers at universities and mission-oriented agencies in designing the agenda and outreach. The research will be tightly interwoven with educational and outreach programs designed to train versatile scientists and practitioners able to work comfortably in interdisciplinary teams, navigate the interface between science and society, and produce, communicate and use credible and usable climate information.<\/p>\n\n

The project will focus on southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and central-eastern Argentina. The regional scale is chosen because climate impacts and feedbacks are most strongly perceived at regional and local scales: these levels are where adaptation will occur and where climate services will be delivered. This multi-national, multi-disciplinary network will contribute to provide a solid foundation for a Regional Climate Center (RCC) proposed to the U.N. World Meteorological Organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
