What is a Regional Climate Centre (RCC) ?RCCs are Centres of ExcellenceCentres of Excellence that assist WMO Members assist WMO Members in a given region to deliver better climate servicesbetter climate services and productsand products including regional long-range forecasts, and to strengthen their capacity to meet national climate information national climate information needsneeds .
� WMO activity (with mandate of WMO)
� Regional component of the Global Framework for Clim ate Services (GFCS) in the GFCS - pillar “Climate Service Information System (C SIS)”
� Users: other RCCs and the NMHSs (end users are custo mers of the NHMSs)
RCC in the RAVI:� Poll in 2008 led to product portfolio (fixed in the implementation plan)
� Start as pilot network in 2009; 3 nodes; each node formed by a consortium
� CBS XV (09/2012): approval of nomination of the pil ot RCC network to become the WMO RAVI RCC network
� Final decision by EC in May 2013 (RCC to be assigned as an RSMC of WMO)
