The main objective of this project is to set up a more enhanced, open, efficient, and shared collaborative platform for climate downscaling groups in Asia. By organizing a series of workshops in last 4 years, we have re-grouped and re-designed the three sub-domains for CORDEX Asia into South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. We have shared and exchanged the data, experiences, and technics on climate downscaling with all the CORDEX groups in Asia. We have supported setting up the ESGF nodes (RCM data sharing) in Asia by collaboration with WCRP-ESGF core group. We have established the CORDEX Asian Empirical-Statistical Downscaling (ESD) group to support the application of climate downscaling products to end-users. We have organized the science-policy dialogues focusing on climate adaptation during the workshops. We have trained more than 130 young scientists from developing countries under the support of this project.
