Sažetak
Since 2017, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has been coordinating development of the South-East European Multi-Hazard Early Warning Advisory System (SEE-MHEWS-A) supported by the World Bank, European Union and USAID. SEE-MHEWS-A aims to provide operational forecasters from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services of the SouthEast Europe (17 countries) with effective and tested tools for forecasting hazardous weather events and their possible impacts in order to improve the accuracy of warnings and their relevance to stakeholders and users. On a single virtual platform, the system will collect information, products and tools for the provision of accurate forecasts and warnings to support hazard-related decision-making by national authorities. Furthermore, the SEE-MHEWS-A will function as a regional cooperative platform where forecasters from different countries can work together on the identification of potential hazards and their impacts, especially when impending weather hazards may have potential impacts in many countries. The main overall objectives of the project are i) Strengthened regional cooperation through leveraging of national, regional and global capacities to develop improved hydrometeorological forecasts, advisories and warnings, which will contribute to saving lives and reducing economic losses and damage and ii) Strengthened national early warning systems by making regional and sub-regional observing, monitoring and forecasting tools and data available to the participating countries and other beneficiaries. In this contribution we describe in more details the role of DHMZ related to NWP, which is twofold. First, DHMZ is a key partner for verification of numerical weather prediction models. DHMZ leads elaboration of methodology for meteorological verification in the SEE MHEWS region and will apply the methodology to assess the skill of several NWP models, such as ALADIN, IFS, COSMO and WRF. DHMZ also assists ARSO in implementing ALADIN numerical weather prediction for the entire region on ECMWF high-performance computing system. In addition to presenting the project and DHMZ activities, we will discuss some early results as well as remaining technical and professional challenges of the project.
