SPECIAL AUNSEED-SRJP (6 – 30 March 2017)
11-14 March 2017
The host from MRI was Dr. Tosiyuki Nakaegawa, head of the Climate Research Department, of MRI. They requested for me to present on my current research and followed by a presentation by Dr. Nakaegawa on their current research related to extreme weather. The presentation was also observed by Mr. Shuhei Maeda, Head of the second research laboratory, Climate Research Department, MRI, Dr. Hidetaka Sasaki, Head of the Atmospheric Environment and Applied Meteorology Research Department, MRI and Dr. Izuru Takayabu, Director of the Atmospheric and Applied Meteorology Research Department, MRI. A lot of beneficial information and suggestions were given by them especially on the extreme rainfall events of the Kelantan December 2014 flood. Discussions with them have strengthened the proof of an existence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and more intense monsoon wind during December 2014 due to the temperature below anomalies at the Siberian high. They had also presented on their current project of projections of the climate data using Japanese Global Climate Model and management of their rainfall data such as the CORDEX-South East Asia. All of this information is beneficial for analyzing extreme weather events and flood management.
