The national key project supported by NSFC of China during the ninth-five-year period and also the China-Japan cooperative research project supported by Ministry of Education of Japan, "Energy and Water Cycle Experiment in Huaihe River Basin" (HUBEX), is a hydro-meteorological observational experiment under the GEWEX/GAME program.
In 1998 and 1999, hydro-meteorological field observation experiment were successfully implemented in eastern part of China over the Huaihe River Basin. Totally 24 provincial meteorological bureaus and 3 provincial hydrological bureaus participated in the observation. It's the first time to observe the four dimension structure of a scale and mid b scale cloud and rainfall in the Meiyu front system by using three dimension observational network composed of digital weather radars and Doppler radars. It is also the first time for China to carry out a joint hydrological and meteorological experiment in semi-wet monsoon region.
On 18 September 2003, the project was checked and accepted successfully by NSFC in Peking University. The experts were unanimous that HUBEX project has reached the expected scientific goals, successfully accomplished the expected research tasks and had innovations and characteristics in the field of experiment organization and implementation, data receiving and storage, establishment of four-dimension assimilation system, study on the structure of water cycle over Huaihe River Basin, hydro-meteorological model nesting and forecast, application of TRMM data to rainstorm monitoring and forecast. The HUBEX project finally won an integrated score "A" in the meeting.
The Chinese institutions involved in the project include Peking University (principal institution), NCC, IAP/CAS, NSMC, Nanjing University, Hehai University, CAMS, Institute of Geography/CAS, Huaihe River Water Resources Committee/MWR, Anhui Provincial Meteorological Bureau and other sub-institutions of CMA. The Japanese institutions include Nagoya University, Hokkaido University, Kyoto University, Touhoku University, Okayama University and Institute of Meteorology.
