Brief Description
Based on the great success in Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Asian Monsoon Experiment (GAME) and the other four GEWEX continental scale experiments in the world, the World Climate Research Programme(WCRP) has started to implement the Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period (CEOP), in which the enhanced in-situ observations at the 36 reference sites including 16 in the Asia and Oceania region and the satellite observations on a global scale are being conducted during 2001 through 2004. The numerical weather prediction (NWP) model outputs are being provided to CEOP by the 9 NWP centers. All the data are now being compiled and integrated by the international cooperation
and is being opened to the international science communities.

To reduce uncertainties regarding the water cycle and improve predictions of rainfall and water resources in Asia, this workshop will address - monsoon system, water and energy cycle, and water resources in Asia

  • ground- and space-based measurements of atmosphere-earth surface interactions
  • modeling including 4DDA by focusing on the on-going CEOP annual cycle enhanced observations
    and the Asian Monsoon system study
