and emergency management authorities improve preparedness ahead of the tropical cyclone season by providing insights into the number of cyclones that may occur in a region. Through WCSSP Southeast Asia, researchers from institutes in the UK, the Philippines and Vietnam have identified a new approach
). For example, many RCM experiments for the South Asia region present dry biases over the monsoon season, but wet biases over the Himalayas that are sometimes larger than those seen in the driving GCM simulations (Janes et al., 2019). In this assessment we also consider a set of statistically downscaled
The aim of the CARISSA project was to improve the uptake and use of regional climate change information across South Asia.
