"Downscaling" the buzz word for Pacific Met services across the region

"This is a new area for our Pacific Met Services, it not only empowers us but it is also a pioneering opportunity for us in the region," – Sunny Seuseu, SPREP.

18 July 2016, Rarotonga, Cook Islands - Pacific met officers are learning more about how to 'downscale' climate and weather forecasts using a computer based programme in the Cook Islands this week.

'Downscaling' is when forecasts can be specific to a certain village, district or weather station as opposed to a whole nation or region.
