18 beneficiaries from 8 european and asian countries

Coordinated 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

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.

Data system operational at Institute Tibetan Plateau Research, Beijing

New algorithms developed and applied for several hydrological observations

Most hydrological data sets 2008 – 2010 produced and available on data system

Distributed hydrological model Plateau and headwaters main rivers S and E Asia developed, evaluation in progress

Trans-boundary water transfers downstream of Plateau evaluated (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan..)

Stakeholders Meetings and training sessions in China, India and Nepal

Consolidation / full fruition of results requires a follow-up phase of at least 3 years

Dual fruition:

Transfer of knowledge and methods to other parts of the world

Demonstration case-studies to include complete river basins around the Qinghai – Tibet Plateau
