Regional Steering Groups (RSG)
Asian Node Chair: Masao MIKAMI (MRI/JMA, Japan), Co Chairs:
Pan American Node Chair: William Sprigg (U of Arizona, US)
Nodes Status
Asymmetric developments NAMEE most active and developed PA with good potential but not yet well
established Asian Node – most of the research
(modelling and observation) facilities available – still more coordination needed

Management issues
Implementation Plan finalized – to be approved in this meeting
Regional Node activities – self-funded SDS-WAS Trust Fund to be established
(Secretariat assistance n needed) Steering Committee (SC) to be established for
SDS-WAS global coordination

Current status of the SDS-WAS Asian node
In July 2014, several RSG members were replaced with new members
Basic communication within RSG is secured. Establishing RSMC-ADSF will be discussed in the
next 2015 RSG meeting In 2012 (Tsukuba) is agreed to keep working groups
activities – to be reinforced

RSG Working groups
Data Share (responsible to KMA)
Common Portal Site (responsible to CMA)
Model Inter-comparison (responsible to JMA)
Issue to be discussed in the next Asian RSG meeting
Designation of a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center with specialization on Atmospheric Sand and Dust Forecasting (RSMC-ASDF)
At least two countries show the interest Transition from research (SDS-WAS) to operational
activities (RSMC-ASDF) is now proposed in the Science and IP with conditions and procedures needed to be followed
Common action of CAS and CBS bodies needed
