| Session Description | Despite advances in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and data assimilation techniques for the recent decades, little discussion (and perhaps progress) has been made on these fronts in Southeast Asia. In this session, we want to share our experiences in actually trying to simulate realistically the region's synoptic and mesoscale weather over 1-2 day time scale. Downscaling of weather information in longer time scales in combination with global long-range forecasts is also an important subject of this session. Through the discussions we want to initiate a platform for scientists interested in mesoscale NWP and data assimiliation in Southeast Asia to interact. We also welcome more theoretical work like data assimilation techniques for using data from advanced observational platforms like satellite and radar. |
