031111GAME-sympo

9:00 opening remarks. + group photos
10:00 Dr. Nipon: Resources management on Chao Phraya basins.

More applied knowledge other than science knowledge is needed. But how can it be obtained? > Dr. Kanae
Investigations by more applied institutes are now under working. These results are expected.

10:20 Dr. Suzuki: Forest and Climate

Same topic. Difference b/w monsoon forest + rain forest. Big difference is from seasonality of soil moisture in monsoon forest.
Topic about Malaysia observation is added. Interannual cycle related ENSO is talked.

10:41 Dr. Patamathamkul (KhonKaen Univ.)

Chi river basin. 4000 MCM dum reservoirs.
3-month rainfall forecast.
3 subsystems: climate forecast, hydrologic, decision making.
Flood on 16 Sep. to 18 Oct.

11:02 Dr. Agata: GAME-T DB2

"Will be appeared soon!!"

11:12 Dr. Kitoh: ENSO and rainfall prediction.

Classified by "Total rainfall", "Frequency", "Intensity".
+++: Tropical western pacific. 40% of the earth.
---: 20%
In global warming situation, monsoon end is delayed by one pentad.
What about indirect effect? > Alef. - Not be considered at present.

11:32 Dr. Hansa
11:47 Dr. Ogino

Air becomes humid prior to rainy season.
This humidity comes from different vapor souces.
Heating processes during premonsoon are important. > Dr. Ueda
Dr. Kono (Kyoto University, Agricultural economics) suggested a book about climate and agriculture published by Hawaii press (also interpreted to Japanese).

12:10 Dr. Sombat
12:30-13:30 Lunch
13:35 Dr. Masuda

In March, the earliest precipitation occurs in the border of Myanmer, China, and Laos.

13:52 Dr. Sugita
14:06 Dr. Chang

Monsoon onset date.
Definition: P or V?
Detailed analysis for P and V in 2002 regarding Meiyu.
Lau and Yang (1997), Tao and Chen (1987), Matsumoto (1997), Webster et al., (1998)
# CMA simulation in 2002 should be done. How is comparison with surface V or P? both observed and reanalyzed.

14:20 Dr. Zhang

Criteria: Vertical shear
# Suggesting new criteria is fine. But, what is good by the use of the criteria should be described.

14:37 Dr. Wongrat (TMD)

16:15 Dr. Abe
16:30 Dr. Koike

SiB2 is good for estimate LH, SH in Tibetan Platau.
NCEP2 is better reproducing LH than NCEP1.
Q1: heat source

17:57 Dr. Hamada

Rainfall classification in Sumatera.
Coastal/inland, active/inactive
night peak at western, afternoon peak at eastern.

18:10 Dr. Hosaka

Change the border grid to land.
Because surface friction becomes larger, convergence becomes smaller.

18:30- Banquet

8:45 Mr. Junkhiaw
9:05 Dr. Jidtaladakom

Soil moisture estimation by AMSR

10:00-10:30 Poster

Not be interested...

10:30-12:00 Discussion with Dr. Ichiyanagi

Rainfall amount and its isotope ratio do not correspond.

12:00-13:00 Lunch
13:15
14:08 Dr. Tantanee

Deterministic and stochastic
Bernoulli, Markov chain

Bernoulli: starting wet day, wet days number
Markov chain: wet days length

15:20 General Discussion: organized by Dr. Oki

Reports from Chairs:

Highlights of GAME-T: Dr. Nipon
Monsoon System: Dr. Masuda

Lots of discussions on "onset"
Mentions to Tibetan Platau
South China sea and Indochina Pen.

Skynet Session: Dr. Masuda

Sri-samlong observatory
Aeronet, ABC,

Monsoon and Society: Dr. Yamanaka

Not unified conclusion because of introductory session.
Pessimistic/optimistic
Personally, Dr. Yamanaka wants to continue this session.

Hydrology and Water Resources: Dr. Hansa

ANN is one of big issues.
Estimation of soil moisture by remote sensing.
Collaboration each other is important.

Land Surface Processes: Dr. Miyazaki

Seasonality of evapotranspiration from various land surfaces
Sink? or Source? is a big issue.

Rainfall: Dr. Thada

Thai-oriented session
Groundwater issues.
Coorporation is required.

Data issue: Dr. Agata

database in development has three stages: currently "Bazaar" stage.
Not only data users but also data providers should be happy. <- But, HOW??? acknowledgment? reference?
Data policy should be kept in the future or not?
Until when do we continue data collecting?
How to keep our data exchange network?
Potential demands of data can be found.

Natural sicence
Humanity
Social-economical

Should GAME-T DB limit only natural science?
Publication protection (L0-3)

Freely open
GAME peaple-free
GAME-T peaple-free
Only for applied people

Technical training?
Requests of data are welcome.

Comments on the data issue: Dr. Takahashi

from GAIN's point of view, GAME-T is one of the best coorperative research groups.
Issues raised by Dr. Agata are for the all GAME activities, too. (not only for GAME-T)

Comments from Dr. Hansa

Data investigation should be going on. (should be "long, continuous" (more than 10 years??)
Protection is important. But it should not be strict.

Comments from Dr. Oki

Operational data are precious.
They were collected under national agreements.
Not only in Thailand, but also in other countries.
Keep the courtesy to data providers (by acknowledgment or "co-author")

Comments from Dr. Somchai (TMD)

Data are benefitial for TMD, too.

Comments from Dr. Thada (RID)
Comments from Dr. (MMS)
Outlines from the last symposium: Dr. Oki

How much are the recommendations realized??
Publication?

Textbook of the Southeast climatology and meteorology are now in a draft. Maybe in a year?? <-Dr. Yamanaka

A session on "Monsoon and Society" is realized.

Report from GISP 2003: Dr. Oki

GAME will be terminated in March 2005.
GEWEX Asian Research Panel (GARP) will probably be born.

GARP-T will be born as well??

GAME special issue in JGR Atmosphere is planned.

submission date: April 2004??

Fixed Schedule

Jul. 5-7, 2004: 2nd APHW in Singapore
Nov. 2004: Final GAME scientific meeting in Kyoto.
Mid of 2005: GAME-T Symposium in Thailand
Jun. 2006: 3rd APHW + GAME-T Symposium in Bangkok.

FTA issue: Dr. Oki

Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement associeted with Japan-Thai Economic Partnership Agreement
-> Governmental collaboration probably makes our cooperation easier.

Issues to be tackled,,,

Hydro-informatics

DB+prediction+dicision meaking+Warning

M3 (Monitoring, Modeling, and Management) of urban environment
Advanced Monitoring with RS
Global warming

16:10 Wrapping up: organized by Dr. Kanae

Comparing with the first workshop of GAME-T, more inter-diciplinary associations have been developed. Even though the symposium does not have any word, GAME-T, we cannot escape from GAME-T. <- Dr. Kanae
Many young scientists have come! That is one of achievements. <- Dr. Somchai
GAME-T related seminar in Kasesart Univ. was a great success. It changed the students. <- Dr. Hansa
Hydrologic models <- Dr. Nipon
Scientific challenge (probably soil properties??) <- Dr. Kanae
Avoid duplication / collaborate with other projects, such as IGBP/IPCC <- Dr. START
As one of yound students <- Mr. Suga, and Mr. Okazawa

16:48 Closing remarks: Dr. Nipon.
