Research Areas

Research Areas

There are five key areas. The first four, climate projections, seasonal outlook, weather prediction and atmospheric dispersion are directly aimed at improving the scientific advice that MSS is able to provide to the end users of its forecasts and climate change projections. These activities rely upon the outputs of numerical models that are run on the in-house MSS CRAY super-computer. The fifth area represents the fundamental research to provide better understanding of tropical weather and climate processes in the region. This is a crucial undertaking that eventually leads to improvements of numerical models and enhancement to weather and climate prediction capabilities.
