Tools

COSPPac works with Pacific Islands partners to develop tools and information about climate, oceans and tides.

The Climate Indices for Pacific Sectoral Applications Portal (CIPSA)

The CIPSA portal provides site-specific historical climate information and trends in mean and extreme climate indices for the Pacific Islands and Australia.​

Climate data for the Environment (CliDE)

CliDE is a climate data management system specifically designed with and for Pacific Island countries. It provides each country with a local, central database for meteorological records.

CliDE Services Client (CliDEsc)

The Climate Data for the Environment Services Client is a web-based content management system and product generator library developed by Earth Sciences New Zealand in consultation with Pacific National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, and with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

​

The Ocean and Climate Outlook Forum (OCOF)

The OCOF is a monthly teleconference where climate and oceans officers from across the Pacific gather to discuss and analyse events from the past month and predict future conditions. This includes forecasting rainfall, monitoring El Niño and La Niña, discussing ocean temperatures, and sharing the impacts such as food and water shortages.

​

Climate and ocean monitoring and outlooks

Climate and ocean outlooks assist Pacific communities to plan and prepare for seasonal and intra-seasonal variation risks. For example, extreme changes from normal rainfall, sea level, and ocean surface temperature.

​

The Bulletin delivers climate and ocean monitoring and prediction data relevant to the tropical southwest Pacific, including diagnostics of El Niño Southern Oscillation, the Madden–Julian Oscillation, ocean temperature, cloud and rainfall patterns; as well as tropical cyclone information and seasonal outlooks.
COSPPac Climate Bulletin

The Bulletin provides essential information on climate conditions in the Pacific region. It includes forecasts for rainfall, cyclone activity, and other climate-related events. The bulletin is a valuable resource for understanding the climate patterns and preparing for potential impacts.
