The explainer provides a summary description of how climate model output is processed and used for informing the Van-KIRAP sectoral impact assessments. Best-prcticed projections science dictated the need to utilise multiple lines of evidence to inform hazard-based climate impact assessments.

This factsheet provides essential information on integrated climate risk concepts and terminology specifically related to hazard-based impact assessments for sectors in Vanuatu

This factsheet provides essential information on greenhouse gas emissions and how they are considered in climate hazard-based impact assessments

This factsheet describes climate models and how they are used in climate hazard-based impact assessments

This factsheet provides technical information on LiDAR data and capability in Vanuatu and how remote sensing technology can be applied to generate data and information for climate hazard-based impact and risk assessments

This factsheet provides technical information on Sofar Spotter buoys and how they are used in Vanuatu for ocean monitoring to generate realtime observational data and information on key physical climate and environmental conditions such as wave height.

Lately the meteorological team have developed an online tool for surfing the weather patterns. This can help anyone with access to the internet what the weather will be like daily. Information provided has been given on a divisional scale as Pacific Island Countries can experience a high range of rainfall variability within country. It is possible to have forecasts which simultaneously favour above and below normal rainfall in different parts of the one country.

Three-month total rainfall is typically used for monitoring grasslands, shallow rooted plants and small water body (e.g. small water tanks, streams) mositure deficits. Allow for uncertainty associated with island size, topography, geology and soil type.
