he Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) hosted the first World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) Science and Training Workshop in Southeast Asia.
The workshop was held in Bogor from Nov. 17'20, 2014 and was attended by 80 participants from countries like Australia, the Philippines, Vietnam, China, South Korea, India, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia.
The workshop aimed to strengthen ties between Southeast Asian countries in sharing information based on a single solid platform of regional mapping. The workshop has also been utilized to gain a better understanding of how climate change will affect people.
BMKG head Andi Eka Sakya said that through the workshop, it was expected that Indonesia would learn to collaborate and coordinate with partners outside the region in order to produce high resolution data.
Among the attendees were experts in the field, like Fredolin Tangang of the Southeast Asia Climate Downscaling Experiment (SEACLID)/CORDEX, Ailikun of the Monsoon Asia Integrated Regional Study (MAIRS) and Untung Merdijanto of the BMKG.
