Session Description:

Despite advances in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) techniques for these decades, little discussion (and perhaps progress) has been made on NWP in Southeast Asia. In this session, we want to share our experiences in actually trying to simulate realistically the region's mesoscale weather in short range. Down-scaling of weather information in longer time scales in combination with global long-range forecasts is also an important subject of this session. Through the discussions we want to initiate a platform for scientists interested in mesoscale NWP in Southeast Asia to interact. The session includes "Applied" because our main concern is not the more theoretical aspects like data assimilation techniques in idealized context per se.
