China - Climate Science for Service Partnership (CSSP) - Work Package 2 Y1 Calls - tender Early scoping work to help evaluate how well the latest UK and China climate models simulate climate variability.  Underpinning climate dynamics research to help improve climate predictions of extreme events in the East Asia region for policy makers to better mitigate the risks arising from climate variability and change. 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
