Seasonal Prediction Project – SPP Enhancing Climate and Ocean Monitoring and Prediction Services. The Seasonal Prediction Project supports the delivery of seasonal and inter/intra-seasonal (or within season) climate and ocean predictions and adds value to climate (e.g., drought) and ocean (e.g., coral bleaching) monitoring.

• Extension of the Bureau of Meteorology ACCESS-S climate modelling system to the Pacific.

• Integrated ACCESS-S into national climate and ocean bulletin, EAR Watch, and other tailored products.

• Published the Climate Change in the Pacific Report 2022 for 15 countries.
