Working Groups _________

The IPCC work is shared among three Working Groups, a Task Force and a Task Group. The activities of each Working Group and of the Task Force are coordinated and administrated by a Technical Support Unit (TSU).

Working Groups

The Working Group is designed to bring together individuals possessing the relevant knowledge and skills who will act either individually or collectively to undertake assigned tasks and activities in order to achieve the project's objectives.

01

WorkingGroup

Impact Based Forecasting

The Working Group for Impact Based Forecasting supports National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to transition from traditional meteorological and hydrological forecasting to impact-based forecasting to ensure NMHSs remain relevant to stakeholders, responders, and civil societies.

02

WorkingGroup

Numerical Weather Prediction

The Working Group for Numerical Weather Prediction ensures the use of numerical weather prediction, including tools to derive additional products, bias correction, and systematic errors as part of objective forecast verification, pattern recognition and algorithms, multi-hazard vulnerability and risk assessment.

03

WorkingGroup

Observational Networks

The Working Group for Observational Networks creates a strategy for baseline regional observing networks to optimize and maximize the benefit of observations.

04

WorkingGroup

Capacity Building

The Working Group for Capacity Building supports the staff of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to acquire new skills above the basic meteorological and hydrological competencies.
