At the kind invitation of the Government of Malaysia, the Second WMO/WWRP Monsoon Heavy Rainfall Workshop will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 10 to 12 December 2012. The workshop is organized by the Monsoon Panel of the WMO/CAS Working Group on Tropical Meteorology Research.

 

The aim of the Workshop is to present and discuss recent research results on the observations, modelling and predictions of heavy rainfall in the monsoon region, including tropical cyclone rainfall. The Workshop will also serves as an avenue to provide training to NMHS heavy rainfall forecasters in the monsoon region. The oral session will include invited lectures and selected contributed papers.  In addition, a planning meeting for the international field and modelling project and a WWRP RDP, Southern China Monsoon Rainfall Experiment (SCMREX), will be held during the Workshop. International experts planning to join SCSMREX will discuss the project plans.

 

Participants will have the opportunity to present their research results, operational observations, and/or forecast experience. Monsoon region NMHS staff will also benefit from the training aspect of the workshop.

 

Participants who wish to give a presentation please send the title and a short abstract to Professor Zhiyong Meng, Peking University, email: zymeng(at)pku.edu.cn. The deadline for submission is 15 August, 2012.

 

NMHS staffs who wish to participate please contact their agency or Ms. Nanette Lomarda, Senior Scientific Officer, WMO, email: nlomarda(at)wmo.int

 

 

           

Further information on the workshop, will be available online later at:

APEC Climate Center (APCC) located in Busan, South Korea, aims at realizing the APEC vision of regional prosperity by providing climate information services and technical support for better sectoral planning and reduction of economic losses due to adverse climatic conditions. APCC produces real-time operational climate prediction information based on a well-validated multimodel ensemble system with contributions from over 17 institutes in the APEC region. APCC contributes to enhancing capacity-building in the prediction and monitoring of weather and climate in the Asia-Pacific region by making available high-cost climate data and information. Countries without the capacity to produce climate predictions are able to access optimized, high-cost global climate predictions produced by APCC. Please visit the APCC website for further information about APCC at http://www.apcc21.org/eng/.
