CSSP China

The CSSP China research programme is coordinated by the Met Office and supported through the Newton Fund. This research, jointly led with Juliane Schwendike at the University of Leeds, we study the microphysical and dynamical processes controlling the structure and variability of the East Asian monsoon Meiyu-Baiu front. We will use a season-long simulation of the monsoon at convection-permitting resolution to study improvements in representation of extreme rainfall events compared to global models.

WCSSP South Africa

The WCSSP South Africa research programme is coordinated by the Met Office and supported through the Newton Fund. In this project, we will develop and verify a convection-permitting forecast model for the South African Weather Service, based on the Met Office Unified Model.
