The 2024 Shanghai Typhoon Collaborative Research Fund is Opening for Research Professionals
The 2024 Shanghai Typhoon Collaborative Research Fund (STCRF) from the Asia-Pacific Typhoon Collaborative Research Center (AP-TCRC) is open to the world. The detailed information on the fund could be found in the International Tropical Cyclone Collaborative Research Guide (Attachment 1). The guide covers both long-term (1 year, could be extended) and short-term (2-3 months) studies. Specific areas include observing, understanding, modeling and predicting tropical cyclones, marine meteorology and related new technologies.
The AP-TCRC is a newly established international joint typhoon research unit located in the Lingang Special Area of Shanghai, China. It is supported by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee (the Committee) and hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Government of China and the China Meteorological Administration (detailed introduction could be found in https://ap-tcrc.org). We are looking forward to having you join us.
