18 beneficiaries from 8 european and asian countries

An international cooperation project between Europe and Asia to improve knowledge on hydrology and meteorology of the Tibetan Plateau and its role in climate, monsoon and extreme meteorological events To construct out of existing ground measurements and

current / future satellites an observing system to determine and monitor the water yield of the Plateau, i.e. how much water is finally going into the seven major rivers of SE Asia

To monitor the evolution of snow, vegetation cover, surface wetness and surface fluxes and analyze the linkage with convective activity, (extreme) precipitation events and the Asian Monsoon.

CEOP-AEGISCoordinated Asia-European long-term Observing system of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau hydro-metOeorological processes and the Asian-monsoon systEm with Ground satellite Image data and numerical Simulations
