China - Climate Science for Service Partnership (CSSP) - Global: Work Package 6 Met Office China and UK collaborative development of translational science0a multidisciplinary approach to bridge the gap between climate science and society to produce useable knowledge and applications. Development of case studies to demonstrate the value of climate science for services by translating climate information into beneficial decisions. Collaborative climate science research between Chinese and UK researchers to help better understand the likely causes of climaterelated extreme events and longterm climate trends in China and East Asia region.  Underpinning climate dynamics to critically examine the performance of the UK and China climate models to accelerate improvements.  Increased understanding of regional drivers of flood and drought and of the drivers of climate variability and change. Development of the translational science needed to produce usable knowledge and applications built on a solid scientific foundation.   Increased scientific understanding to help to better mitigate the risks arising from climate variability and change.
