Singapore does play a bigger role in boosting the region’s ability to detect transnational haze, enabling nations to work more quickly to stop it from happening.
This is in response to the World Meteorological Organization ( WMO ) choosing the country to host a specialized center, the first of its kind in Asia and one of two others worldwide, to provide timely and high-quality vegetation fire and smoke pollution forecasts, observations, and information.
The Specialized Meteorological Centre for Vegetation Fire and Smoke Pollution’s primary goal will be to predict weather value and determine the spreadability of cloud using modeling models.
” The centre aims to provide information to support decision-making in emergency response, environmental protection, public health management, fire management and law enforcement”, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said on Wednesday ( Sep 4).
” We hope that these climate information will help our local partners come up with and modify their individual climate adaptation plans.”
She addressed a local community hosted by the ASMC and WMO, which is hosted by the ASMC.
The Meteorological Service Singapore ( MSS) is the organization that runs the new facility, which went into operation this month.  ,
The other heart is in Canada, a country susceptible to fire. During the 78th WMO executive council conference in Geneva in June, both Singapore and Canada were given hosting positions.
