Unbearably hot summers up to +45, freezing winters up to -40, dust storms carrying toxic salts and chemicals. Pastures replaced by vast deserts, fishing villages – by ailing households struggling to survive Sounds like apocalyptic fiction? This has been the reality in the Aral Sea region. But YOU can contribute
Dataset with weather measurements for the NOAA stations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Mongolia. The variables are precipitation, snow depth, temperature average, minimum and maximum. The dataset is in Excel format
A first segment of the ERA5 dataset is now available for public use (1979 to within 5 days of real time). ERA5 provides hourly estimates of a large number of atmospheric, land and oceanic climate variables. The data cover the Earth on a 30km grid and resolve the atmosphere using
The Global Agriculture Sectoral Information System (SIS) project has developed climate services in support of decision-making in these contexts. It does so in a process of co-creation with partners representing international crop research, international agricultural policy development and commercial agricultural consultancy services. Four categories of data products haven been produced:
Maps and weather forecasts based on different models ECMWF, GFS, UKMO related to Asia
Ensemble mean and spread: from the ECMWF ‘Ensemble Prediction System’ (ENS), for four parameters: mean sea level pressure, 850 hPa temperature, 850 hPa wind speed and 500 hPa geopotential height. These charts are updated once every 12 hours at approximately 08:30 UTC and 20:30 UTC. Each chart header is labelled
Mountains define the weather and climate conditions in Tajikistan. Winter temperatures in the mountains can be as cold as –60°C, while summer temperatures in the lowlands can reach +40°C. Half the country is above 3 000 metres, with the highest summits exceeding 7 000 metres. Glaciers cover nearly 6 per
We are glad to provide you with the Synthesis Review (in Russian and English) dedicated to the “Financing climate change actions ”. This synthesis review aims to inform the public on the role of climate finance in fulfilling national commitments under the UNFCCC Paris Agreement in the Central Asian Region,
The World Glacier Inventory (WGI) contains information for over 130,000 glaciers. Inventory parameters include geographic location, area, length, orientation, elevation, and classification. The WGI is based primarily on aerial photographs and maps with most glaciers having one data entry only. Hence, the data set can be viewed as a snapshot
At present, nowhere in Central Asia does the concern about climate change as a multiplier of insecurity rise to the level of alarm, but the situations in the mountains and densely populated areas, as well as in the southern borders of Central Asia, warrant ongoing attention. The Pamir and Tien
