however, there is some uncertainty in the rainfall projections and not all models show consistent results. Fax: (686) 26037 There is also a neutral phase.
Increases in average temperatures will also result in a rise in the number of hots days and warm nights and a decline in cooler weather. The Kiribati Meteorological Service (KMS) is one of the Kiribati Government divisions that has been administrated under different Government ministries since it localized to Government of Kiribati in 1989 from the New Zealand Meteorological Service. In 2017, the Kiribati Meteorological Service made a submission for the need to create more positions, out of the many proposal, we quite fortunate to get support for the creation of 2 Senior Meteorological Observers, 1 Quality Assurance Officer and 1 IT Specialist and at the same time upgrade Chief Meteorological Officer into the Director post.
As the extra carbon dioxide reacts with sea water it causes the ocean to become slightly more acidic. They are based on the laws of physics and include information about the atmosphere, ocean, land and ice. Reconstructed estimates of sea level near Kiribati (since 1950) are shown in purple. There are many different global climate models and they all represent the climate slightly differently. The Kiribati Meteorological Service exists within the Kiribati Government’s Office of The President. The future climate will be determined by a combination of natural and human factors. hޜ�mk�@���`G��7(�$Mؠ�6���n{$�� ��u�~����##Kw��t��VV9����U #�s��A)2$C��@�4\^�q���bRb�sy_�4+�R�i���������mV^��Ų��|[5��������>��zZ��Λb�Ţ�����7��o���b�}��J)�6ź|W�u)�s�RVK�Z|+�ڒ�WV�5y����]�T�5۽�ѕ������ae�����l� ����g ��z�-�`-$� h ����l���1 ���$}�%���/a~Ғg�����SMǚ�ǵ�g#N��������Ɯ��ɤ�3���vΪ�-�Lܗո��a�u3]��CÈG"�V\]��Z02s%�^���b����C�Q������qp�����1Na, ��+iE��\g���;�=�L�f��S��i_��d��Hv�����?�$(���9b��0��k��8b���1�u �Q��3⯂~�9��i{$Cq6k8�F���o����.w�,ȥv`SĊQ�cm�(�!%�s:�Ƴ�&����μc�C#���G����1�8�` ��f National Meteorological Service Kiribati Meteorological Service Meteorology Division PO Box 486, Tarawa KIRIBATI. h�b```�Xf��B �af`a�h`f`����� Y��ʹ�cKJ����?N1�rاd�Z%1��0:@u$��T ����H�1;H�� ��wH�J[�?sF�����Y ����y���� ��c`o`s� �&� The dries and wettest periods in the year vary from location to location.

Across Kiribati, El Nino events tend to bring wetter, warmer conditions than normal. Changes in the temperature from season to season are no more than about 1 degree Celsius. Contact the Kiribati Meteorological Service: Phone: (686) 26511, 25444 Values represent 90% of the range of the models and changes are relative to the average of the period 1980-1999. As we do not know what the future holds, we need to consider a range of possible future conditions, or scenarios, in climate models. endstream endobj 1411 0 obj <>stream Projections for all emissions scenarios indicated that the annual average air temperature and sea surface temperature will increase in the future in Kiribati.

For your information and update, tropical cyclone Harold poses no threat to Kiribati. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) developed a series of plausible scenarios based on a set of assumptions about future population changes, economic development and technological advances. PO Box 486, Tarawa In the wettest years Tarawa has received more than 4000mm, while in the direst years as little as 150mm of rain has fallen. Ph: (686) 25444 The sea-level rise combined with natural year-to-year changes will increase the impact of storm surges and coastal flooding. The PCCSP has analysed climate model results for periods centred on 1990, 2030, 2055 and 2090 (shaded). Climate Officers Ms Teera Teetam Fax: (686) 26037 misstetam.t@gmail.com. The dashed lines are an estimate of the 90% of the range of natural year-to-year variability in sea level. Scientists from the Pacific Climate Change Science Program (PCCSP) have evaluated 24 models from around the world and found that 18 best represent the climate of the western tropical Pacific region. Across Kiribati the average temperature is relatively contact year round. As ocean water warms it expands causing the sea level to rise, the melting of glaciers and ice sheets also contributes to sea-level rise.
