PRESENTER: Dr. Murali Nageswara Rao Malasala, CPAESS Associate Scientist at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction - Environmental Modeling Center. TITLE: Prediction skill of GEFSv12 in depicting Monthly Rainfall and Associated Extreme Events over Taiwan during Summer Monsoon Summary: Taiwan is one of the subtropical islands in Asia. It experiences rainfall extremes regularly, leading to landslides and flash floods in/near the mountains and flooding over low-lying plains, particularly during the summer monsoon season [June–September (JJAS)]. The skillful prediction of monthly scale rainfall in small regions like Taiwan is one of the challenges of the meteorological scientific community. The Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS—pronounced: see-pass) is a UCAR Community Programs (UCP) division at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Our administrative office is located in Boulder, Colorado, USA. CPAESS was created in February 2016, from the merger of two long-established and successful programs: the Joint Office of Science Support (JOSS) and the Visiting Scientist Programs (VSP). CPAESS is providing an extensive portfolio of organization and management services for the broad Earth science community. Our vision and mission complement and mirror the vision and mission of UCAR, including UCP and NCAR. We are collectively working towards the advancement of scientific research for the benefit of society.
