International
Activities
PC Cluster-based
Numerical Weather Prediction System
- The METRI has transferred its NWP
know-how to Mongolia and Sri Lanka.
|
The METRI started to develop a NWP system
based on a PC cluster in 1998 with the
aim of enabling its regional meteorological
offices to operate their own NWP systems
without having to resort to supercomputers.
The project, now complete, has allowed
KMA regional offices to make regional
weather forecasts more cost-effectively.
Microprocessor performance continues
to rise rapidly while prices are plummeting,
paving the way for continuous upgrades
in PC cluster-based NWP systems.
The METRI developed the Mongolian NWP
System (MNWPS) in 2004 and transferred
the technology to the Mongolian National
Agency for Meteorology, Hydrology and
Environment Monitoring (NAMHEM). The
MNWPS success is cited as an exemplary
case of meteorological cooperation,
and similar requests for technology
transfer continue to come from countries
in Asia and Oceania.
In addition, the METRI also developed
the Sri Lanka NWP System (SNWPS) with
the supporting of the Korea International
Cooperation Agency (KOICA) in 2005.
The SNWPS has more efficient computing
environment and downsizing facility
then the MNWPS.
The METRI will play an important role
in raising Korea's status as a technology
provider by continuing to provide meteorological
technology and advice to developing
countries.?This will help them to design
and operate clusters that best fit their
specific needs and weather conditions. |
