Project: THORpex (Project in progress)(Atmospheric Science)
Description:
A Global Atmospheric Research Programme THORPEX is a ten-year international research programme, under the auspices of the Commission of the Atmospheric Science, and its World Weather Research Programme (WWRP). The purpose of THORPEX is to accelerate improvements in short-range (up to 3 days), medium-range (3 to 7 days) and extended-range (week-two) weather predictions and the social value of advanced forecast products. THORPEX would examine global-to-regional influences on the predictability of high-impact weather and establish the potential to produce significant statistically-verifiable improvements in forecasts of those time scales (Project in progress)(Atmospheric Science)
