Main Research
Our team operates a testbed to facilitate the rapid integration of climate prediction technologies into operational forecasting, actively contributing to the joint development of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) climate prediction system. Through this structured approach, we experimentally apply advanced climate prediction technologies and proactively assess model performanceto optimize operational forecasting methodologies.
We accelerate the virtuous cycle of "fundamental technology development - operational evaluation - practical implementation for improved prediction accuracy,"bridging research advancements with operational applications and ensuring the seamless adoption of the latest climate prediction technologies.
Additionally, we are engaged in the systematic development of a verification framework to evaluate and enhance the reliability of climate prediction systems. To achieve this, we have established a climate prediction model evaluation and management system, diagnosing structural issues within models and utilizing multi-faceted performance and diagnostic metrics based on historical reanalysis datasetsto quantitatively assess the accuracy and limitations of climate prediction models.
Furthermore, we are developing a real-time forecast verification systemto diagnose forecast characteristics and assess whether model improvements lead to tangible enhancements in predictive performance. This system ensures the provision of more reliable climate prediction information, supporting the continuous improvement of KMA’s climate prediction system. By systematically verifying model performance, we contribute to the quantitative assessment of model advancements and the long-term enhancement of forecast reliability
