Overview
Collaborations with local Institutes of Higher Learning is an integral part of the research at the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS). Partnerships are established between MSS and local academic institutions in highly specialized niches to foster closer collaborations. The bridging of expertise through collaborative projects helps in developing an understanding of weather and climate processes in the region and to eventually enhance our national weather and climate prediction capabilities.

Active Project
Evaluation and development of 100 m uSINGV for extreme rainfall and wind modelling in Singapore
High-resolution urban modelling is a promising way to improve the understanding of urban-scale weather and climate processes. This project aims to evaluate the 100m resolution uSINGV model with a focus on high-impact weather (i.e., extreme rainfall and wind) in Singapore. The project will analyse not only localized thunderstorms but also monsoon surges and Sumatra squalls with high rainfall intensities. Furthermore, an improved subgrid mixing scheme will be implemented and evaluated.
The research collaboration with NUS commenced in Mar 2023 and is ongoing.
