SCHeREX aims at:

1) understanding meso-scale convective systems and their relations to the large-scale circulation;

2) improving capability of heavy rainfall prediction.

2. Objectives, experimental regions and periods

1) Objectives

1. Establish meso-scale observation networks;

2. Obtain meteorological data describing 4 dimensional structure of meso-scale systems;

3. Develop meso-scale reanalysis systems and forming a high time-space resolution reanalysis meteorological fields;

4. Improve heavy rainfall prediction by using this database.

The experimental regions include the areas in southern China and middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River valley. It is related to more than ten provinces in South China.C

7. Summary

1. Implement SCHeREX in May-July 2008/2009.2. Characteristics of CHeREX are (1) establishing dual-Doppler observation network with four operational Doppler radars and two movable Doppler radars; (2) implementing dropsonde detecting from plane; (3) Using dual polarized Doppler radar to detect the parameters inside of cloud; (4) Increasing sounding density by using GPS/boundary layer sounding.3. Use satellite data to increase meso-scale observation including FY-2C, FY-2D, COSMIC, et al.;4. Develop meso-scale reanalysis system.
