This is the Home Page of "International Research for Prevention and Mitigation of Meteorological Disasters in Southeast Asia" under the MEXT Special Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology, supported for FY 2007 - 2009 under Asia S&T Strategic Cooperation Program.

Risk of high-impact weather associated with global warming and/or economical development is potentially increasing, and utilization of probability information obtained by ensemble NWPs (Numerical Weather Predictions) is a challenge for the development of decision support tools.

Thus, we establish "International Scientist-Network for Prevention and Mitigation of Meteorological Disasters in Southeast Asia" through research and development of downscaling NWP systems.
