China - Climate Science for Service Partnership (CSSP) - Work Package 2 Calls - tender Collaborative climate science research programme between Chinese and UK to develop an enhanced understanding of underpinning climate dynamics and use of this to critically examine the performance of China and UK climate models and predictions. These models underpin climate services needed to support economic development and welfare. Assess model simulations of European and Chinese regional climate. Identify key model errors in mean and variability through the annual cycle + scope future focus
Identify errors in frequency, intensity and spatial patterns for key modes of climate variability and teleconnections to Europe and Asia and scope future focus
Assess fidelity and predictability of East Asian summer monsoon rainfall in initialised hindcasts
Analysis of hindcast mechanisms and influence by end of FY
