China - Climate Science for Service Partnership (CSSP) - Work Package 1 Y1 Calls - tender Early scoping work to help better understand the likely causes of climate related extreme events and longterm climate trends in China and the East Asia region.  This increased scientific understanding will enable policy makers to better mitigate the risks arising from climate variability and change. Improve the observational basis for understanding East Asian climate variability and change by including early years’ data through digitisation, and by developing techniques, software and tools to improve gridded datasets, including at higher temporal and spatial resolution and to assess their uncertainties. One focus could be on precipitation, to better enable the understanding of the East Asian Summer Monsoon and the wider hydrological cycle 
Develop a collaborative programme on the attribution of climaterelated extreme events and long term trends in the East Asian region, and their likely causes.
A longterm goal of the CSSPChina could be to develop a regional reanalysis for East Asia.
