Beijing Climate Centre (BCC) was established in 2003 by China Meteorological Administration on the basis of its National Climate Center, to better perform its functions as a WMO Regional Climate Centre (RCC).

BCC organizes and coordinates research efforts on regional climate, operational predictions and climate application and services, among others. It also provides climate services to China and other Asian countries for disaster prevention and mitigation and for socio-economic development. BCC has been making significant progress in the following activity areas: operational long-range forecasts, climate monitoring, data services, use of regional climate products, training on service delivery, research on climate and climate change, as well as capacity building.

TPRCC-Network is based on the WMO RCC concept with active contributions from all concerned member countries in the Third Pole region through a mutually agreed structure consisting of three sub-regional geographical nodes, namely, (i) Northern TP Node, (ii) Southern TP Node and (iii) Western TP Node. TPRCC is currently in a demonstration phase.
