Modelling groups
The modelling groups participating are
Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht,
Centre for Materials and Coastal Research, Dr. Frauke Feser, Geesthacht, Germany, frauke.feser(at)hzg.de, and Monika Barcikowska, Monika.Barcikowska(at)hzg.de, with the spectrally nudged model COSMO-CLM.
National Taiwan University, Prof. Ming-Chin Wu, Taipei, Taiwan,
wu(at)wu.as.ntu.edu.tw, with RSM (see: Ching-Teng Lee, Ming-Chin Wu, and Shyh-Chin Chen, 2005: Regional Spectral Model Simulations of the Summertime Regional Climate over Taiwan and Adjacent Areas, TAO, Vol. 16, No. 2, 487-511, June 2005)
National Central University, Prof. C. Sui, Jung-Li, Taiwan,
sui(at)cc.ncu.edu.tw, with the MM5 model
Seoul National University, Prof Dong-Kyou Lee, Seoul, S Korea,
dklee(at)snu.ac.kr, with the model REG-CM2 and a bogus-technique to introduce typhoons (see: Young-In Ahn and Dong-Kyou Lee, 2002: Impact of bogus tropical cyclones on summertime circulation in regional climate Simulations: J. Geophys. Res. 107, D16, 1.1029/2001JD000416)
Data for atmospheric conditions in Taiwan will be helped with by
Central Weather Bureau, Dr. Mong-Ming Lu, Taipei, Taiwan,
lu(at)rdc.cwb.gov.tw. Part of the useful data is available at the internet-data bank photino.cwb.gov.tw/tyweb/default.htm
Since analyses of wind on the sea are of limited reliability, a validation using derived wave conditions may be helpful. An agreement has been made that
National Cheng Kung University, Prof. Chia Chuen Kao, Tainan, Taiwan,
kaoshih(at)mail.ncku.edu.tw
will use the wind and pressure output of the regional models to run an ocean wave model and compare the output to ocean wave observations.
