Weather Research and Forecasting

Providing High Resolution (5km) Climate Change Projections in the Philippines using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model
This project by the DOST-PAGASA aims to provide a high-resolution (5km) climate change projection using WRF model, covering the entire Philippines, using the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 climate change scenarios, for both precipitation and temperature. The outputs from the system are expected to contribute to the updating of the LGUs’ CC-DRR-enhanced local plans (i.e., CLUP, LCCAP). This project is expected to contribute in strengthening the resilience and adaptive capacity of communities and ecosystems to climate-related hazards and natural disasters by providing timely and accurate disaster and climate information that will support risk-informed planning, particularly at the local level (SDG13.1).
