2. Development of　GAME　database • Proposed in the GISP　last year 　 　　　Development of GAME　database for multi-year comparative study ●　 ●　 ●　 Data request letters were sent to weather bureau of each country in the east and south Asia in June 2003 Collected data will be provided to users with CD-ROM (or comprehensive DVD) and via the Internet. Collected data will be open to the international research community.

Proposal: Development of GAME database for multi-year comparative study 1. Why do we need multi-year data ? • GAME IOP year (1998) was a particular year due to strong El-Nino. • GAME observations have been done continuously in other years except the IOP year. 2. Target period Year 1998 1999 2000 Events 3. 1997 Tibet(POP) GAME/IOP HUBEX Siberia-IOP 2002 CEOP (Oct. ～) Specification of Target data type: Station data • • 4. 2001 Surface: Rainfall, Temperature, Pressure, Wind, Humidity, Sunshine duration, etc Sonde data: raw data if available, at least significant level data if it wasn’t transmitted. Basically daily data, 6 hourly or more frequent data are desirable if readily available Number of target stations ～ the same as that of the IOP data Status of provided data and feedback to data providers • Basically the GAME International Data Resource ( to be open for the international research community). • Issue of Data CD including other GAME observation data in this period together ex. GAME-Tropics CD by Dr. Agata. 5. Schedule: by the end of May 2003 (nearly within 6 months) 6. Re-organizing Data Management Working group in relation to this proposal
