Introduction of the MAHASRI as the Post-GAME Monsoon Research Program in Asia Jun Matsumoto Department of Earth & Planetary Science, University of Tokyo Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC)/ Institute of Observational Research for Global Change (IORGC) Chairman of the Post-GAME Planning Working Group Flood in Assam, India, August, 2004
Status of the post-GAME planning • Aug. 28, 2005: 1-st International Planning Workshop at Kyoto, Japan • Sept. 26, 2005: First proposal in the GEWEX Hydrometeorology Panel (GHP) meeting, at Melbourne, Australia • Nov. 1, 2005: 2-nd International Planning Workshop at Tokyo, Japan Still in the build-up stage, until September 2006
Project title (candidates proposed in the final GAME Conference etc.) • COPAM: Coordinated Observation & Prediction of Asian Monsoon (Proposed in the Final GAME Science Conference in December 2004) • COMAP: Coordinated Monsoon Asian Program • GMAP: GEOSS Monsoon Asian Program • ICECREAM: International Cooperative Experiments for Climatic Research on Asian Monsoon • PHACE-AM: Project on Hydro-Atmospheric Collaborative Experiment in Asian Monsoon • COPE-AM: Coordinated Observation and Prediction Experiment in (for) Asian Monsoon • AM-CoRE: Asian Monsoon Coordinated Research and Experiment
Project title (tentative) MAHASRI Monsoon Asia Hydro-Atmosphere Scientific Research and Prediction Initiative or Monsoon Asia Hydrosphere-Atmosphere Scientific Research and Prediction Initiative or Monsoon Asia Hydrospheric-Atmospheric System Research and Prediction Initiative
Bodhisattva Stupa-mahasri 卒都波大吉祥菩萨also known as the Vajra of Joyous Benefit. Stupa refers to the 5 Elements that constitutes all sentient beings. This deity manifests the joy of liberation in the midst of the endless cycles of birth & death that sentient beings experience.
Objective "To establish hydro-meteorological prediction system, particularly up to seasonal time-scale, through better scientific understanding of Asian monsoon variability".
Key Science Issues (1) • Atmosphere-ocean-land interactions in the Asian monsoon system • Scale-interactions among diurnal, synoptic, intraseasonal and seasonal variability of Asian monsoon • Interactions of surface and boundary layer processes with convective cloud system • Comparisons of hydro-meteorological characteristics among regional monsoon sub-systems
Key Science Issues (2) • Effect of human influences (i.e., aerosols, land-use change, and greenhouse-gas increase) on hydro-meteorological variations in Asian monsoon regions • Down-scaling and up-scaling for/with regional hydro-meteorological modeling and forecast • Transferability of land-surface hydrological models and parameters for prediction of ungauged basins • Incorporation of new technologies for observation and computation
Linear trend of summer precipitation(JJA):1961-2000 increasing Analysis based on daily rainfall data of more than 700 stations for 1950s-2000 Changes in the Pacific Ocean? Changes in the Tibetan Plateau? Global warming? Aerosol increase? Deforestation over Indochina etc….?? decreasing (Endo et al., 2005)
What will we achieve? • Determine predictability and key phenomena of Asian monsoon variability up-to seasonal time-scale for the use of hydro-meteorological prediction system • Develop real-time monitoring and/or modeling system for hydro-meteorological prediction and water management in specific river basins in Asian monsoon regions • Develop integrated hydrometeorological database of Asian monsoon regions with data rescue
International cooperation strategies • Facilitate and/or improve hydro-meteorological observations in Asian monsoon countries in conjunction with GEOSS • Cooperate with CEOP-II by observations, data and hydrometeorelogical studies in Asian monsoon • Contribute IPY by conducting intensive observations in Asian monsoon region • Capacity building for observation, analysis, data-integration and modeling • Data exchange to establish an integrated database
Differences from GAME? • More concrete collaboration with Asian hydrometeorological agencies and research institutes → Present proto-type model for the hydrometeorological prediction system • Expansion the target field not only air-land interaction but also air-land-sea interaction, thus closer collaboration with CLIVAR community • Expansion of the target area over the Maritime Continent, Western Pacific, and India, while retreat from Siberia
