A joint monsoon rainfall campaign (Southwest Monsoon Experiment:
SoWMEX) has been conducted in East Asia on May and June 2007.
Taiwan, Japan, and Korea are all participated in this joint
effort. The purpose of this pilot experiment is to test the field
design for SoWMEX 2008 and also to try out the communication and
data management issues. Intensive observations including
dropsonde, ship sounding, and island radars has been executed. In
this Meiyu season, a continuous 7-days heavy rain event was
captured by the network. Many interesting phenomena related to
monsoon rainfall are experienced. In the talk, some preliminary
observation results will be presented and the impact of dropsonde
on the numerical model outcome will be discussed.
This is a joint EOL/MMM Seminar.
Thursday July 12 at 3:30pm in FL2-1002.
