CEOP-AEGIS Coordinated Asia-European long-term Observing system of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau hydro-metOeorological processes and the Asian-monsoon systEm with Ground satellite Image data and numerical Simulations An international cooperation project between Europe and Asia to improve knowledge on hydrology and meteorology of the Tibetan Plateau and its role in climate, monsoon and extreme meteorological events • To construct out of existing ground measurements and current / future satellites an observing system to determine and monitor the water yield of the Plateau, i.e. how much water is finally going into the seven major rivers of SE Asia • To monitor the evolution of snow, vegetation cover, surface wetness and surface fluxes and analyze the linkage with convective activity, (extreme) precipitation events and the Asian Monsoon. 18 beneficiaries from 8 european and asian countries

CEOP-AEGIS Achievements • Data system operational at Institute Tibetan Plateau Research, Beijing • New algorithms developed and applied for several hydrological observations • Most hydrological data sets 2008 – 2010 produced and available on data system • Distributed hydrological model Plateau and headwaters main rivers S and E Asia developed, evaluation in progress • Trans-boundary water transfers downstream of Plateau evaluated (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan..) • 125 team Members • 79 MSc and 93 PhD students active in the framework of the project
CEOP-AEGIS Outlook • Stakeholders Meetings and training sessions in China, India and Nepal • Consolidation / full fruition of results requires a follow-up phase of at least 3 years • Dual fruition: • Transfer of knowledge and methods to other parts of the world • Demonstration case-studies to include complete river basins around the Qinghai – Tibet Plateau
