China - Climate Science for Service Partnership (CSSP) - Work Package 3 Calls - tender Collaborative climate research programme between China and UK researchers to increase the understanding of East Asian climate variability, including drivers of regional drought and flooding and to capture extreme climate events and their impacts such as heat waves and flash floods to help improve capability in climate risk assessments. Increase the understanding of East Asian climate variability and assessment of its predictability for improving climate prediction skills over East Asia on seasonal to decadal timescales.

Increase the understanding of drivers of regional drought and flooding and developing the capability of early warning methodology.

Develop convection permitting models for the East Asian region, to capture extreme climate events and their impacts such as heat waves, flash floods and the impact of large scale urbanisation and mega cities.
