Abstract
The senior author of this second introduction lectures in China almost annually and is involved in research in China since 1996, initially particularly in Nanjing, Beijing and Inner Mongolia. A new project, presently core funded by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), was originally prepared (and largely funded) by the Asian Picnic Model Project (APMP, Agromet Vision) and China Agricultural University (CAU), Beijing, from 2004 till 2007, in several missions by Zheng Dawei (CAU) and Kees Stigter (APMP) to five provinces and a preliminary project submission to CMA in 2007.
