Special Collection 1
Weather extreme event projections and their impact assessments
Concept description:
Extreme event projections and assess their impacts have been conducted as one of the three teams under the auspices of the Innovative Program of Climate Change Projection for the 21st Century (KAKUSHIN), in collaboration with the Meteorological Research Institute; Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University; the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management; the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management; and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. This program has been funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan. Under the auspices of our KAKUSHIN Team-3 and DPRI, and in cooperation with the Japan Society of Hydrology and Water Resources, the KAKUSHIN Team-3 held two open symposia: the first, in November 2009, on Extreme Weather and Impact Assessments for better predictions and assessments, and the second, in September 2011, for contribution to the IPCC AR5. We hope that this special collection contributes to the IPCC AR5 and provides many scientists, engineers, and policy makers with access to the latest projections of future climate and impact assessments.
