Small archipelagos – common issues – climate everywhere!

Small islands, large territories:Limited natural resource base, high competition between land use, intensity of land-use, immediacy ofinterdependence in human and environment systems, spatial dispertion of productive assets, multiplication of infrastructure and services;

Insularity and remoteness:High external transport dependence, time delays and high costs in accessing external goods, delays andreduced quality in information flows;

Environmental factorsPressure over land, water resources and biodiversity, large coastal and oceanic zones to manage;

Disaster vulnerability and mitigation capability:High exposure to environmental hazards, limited hazard forecasting ability, territorial discontinuity andlimited mobility;

Demographic factors:Limited human resource base, large assimetries on the population concentration, pressure over coastalzone, high per capita costs for infrastructure and services

Economic factors:Small economies, dependence on external finance and goods, small internal market, dependence onnatural resources, highly specialisation production, limited mobility;

MACMAC2.3/A32.3/A3

CLIMAAT - Main Motivations:

Operational:•specific needs and requirements on detailed climatic information, weather and sea state forecasting, with implications on the territory and resources management, economy, infrastructures and safety;•operational data in real time.

Strategic:•planning with climate; •climate as a resource;•climate change, mitigation and adaptation.

Scientific:•peculiarities of climate and weather mechanisms of the islands that distinguish them from continents;•specific needs on new methodologies to fit the requirements and scale of application to the different sectors of applied meteorology and climatology (environment, agriculture, hydrology, tourism, transports, fisheries, safety, etc.).•a very good location for climatic and meteorological studies in the middle of an open space of utmost importance for the global climate;

Simulation of local climate in islands environments CIELO model (Clima Insular à Escala LOcal)(Azevedo, 1996; Azevedo et al. 1998; Azevedo et al. 1999,a,b; Azevedo et al, 2003; Santos et al., 2004)

T2 - Islands Climatology & Hidrology (detailed physical models);

Some helpful contribution from numerical modelling is used in order to bridge the gap between local scale processes (which are in the origin of the local scale meteorology and spatial climate differentiation), and the external forcing regime, that is driven by the atmospheric synoptic conditions or by the regional scale climate.
