  • Institutions/Projects in the region working on S2S

  • The Chilean NextGen: 

    Chile’s National Meteorological Service (DMC, as per its initials in Spanish) had implemented the Next Generation of Seasonal Climate Forecasts (NextGen), developed by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI). NextGen is a multi-model, statistically calibrated seasonal forecast system that takes advantage of the expertise of forecasters and local scientists. It is a modern forecast methodology that validates global models based on local experiences and climate data to provide more robust and fine-tuned forecasts for specific areas of interest. The predictions are to be used by decision-makers in sectors such as agriculture and food security, energy, water management, disaster prevention, health, and others.

    The seasonal forecast is updated every month and presented in a public discussion and a bulletin. Monthly bulletin (in spanish): https://climatologia.meteochile.gob.cl/application/publicaciones/boletinTendenciasClimaticas
