What benefits will be provided to hydrology and water resources management. Introduce idea of predictability.

If we can get a signal in advance, water resources management will be much more effective. You analyze the relationship this anomalous state with SST anomaly and some strong correlation can be found, and it may be related with the pressure pattern anomaly or wave train to get a more confirmed idea which can be used for water resources management. What kind of the research activity is needed? You also find the lag-correlation with the anomalous state of the circulation and convection on 10-days, so this is also very big signal which can show the predictability. What do we need for introducing this kind of the signal in advance into the water resources management? Thirdly you also find some signal from north that is closely to the flood in 2010. Some paper has already been published, so by reviewing such a paper this kind of the signal propagation from north also very important. So we need to analyze/improve our understanding this kind of the knowledge for the improvement of water resources management. So this is discussion, what is important, based on your research, what kind of the scientific topic, especially predictability which is closely related to water resources management in your country were found out? You can use three figures, which you showed in presentation. There are two ways, I think in your conclusion chapter, 5.1 is summary, 5.2 is concluding remarks, instead of concluding remarks it is discussion. Please describe three figure. If you can introduce the idea based on this research, what kind of benefit will be generated in the field of water resources management, they can accept as a thesis for the school of engineering. But this thesis/contents is only science, not the clear description of the contribution to water resources management/engineering. If the thesis on sciences, then predictability should be included. But in case of engineering, some expectation/ some possibility/some speculation, may be ok. That is their request. They fully understand your position. This thesis seems thesis in science. Thats why by adding that sub-section, they can recognize, oh that is thesis in engineering. They fully recognize your progress, your understanding is ok. But this kind of bridge is requested. Wave propagation by Nakmura-sensei, SST in Atlantic ocean by Kimoto-sensei, you can refer of course. But they are not requested at the moment.

If we get a signal in advance for the dry or wet summer monsoon rainfall from 10-days to maximum a month, which can definitely contribute to better water resources management more effectively, the: 1. What kind of important attention (i.e. research activity or scientific topic) is needed for water resources management, for such kind of the signal which provides possibility of the prediction of rainfall in advance? 2. How much importance such kind of the advance prediction of rainfall in water resources management? 3. What benefits will be provided to hydrology and water resources management. Introduce idea of summer monsoon predictability? 4. From the stand point of the water resources management, what should be investigated? 5. What kind of the information or possibility should be clarify in future, needs, importance, expectation, how to introduce such an advance prediction of rainfall into the water resources management? Importance, possibility, needs and expectation? 6. What do we need for introducing this kind of the signal in advance into the water resources management? Examples 1. For example flood management, drought management, but little bit more practical and detailed description is requested. 2. How can we use advance prediction of rainfall for agriculture/live stock/etc? 3. For example dam operation for changing the agriculture calendar, water allocation for domestic water, industrial water, power generation, agriculture water, etc.

Water resources management sector should be, what kind of attention such kind of the signal which provide possibility of the prediction And how much importance such kind of the prediction in water resources management And from the stand point of the water resources management, what should be investigated? But investigation itself be done by meteorology, what kind of the information or possibility should be clarify in future, needs, importance, expectation, how to introduce such a prediction into the water resources management. Importance, possibility, needs, expectation? This is discussion, you identified the 10-days of the such upper anomalous state circulation which is closely related to convection, so it suggests 10-days prediction ability of the system of the some anomalous state. How much important such information in water resources management. You showed with regard to prediction ability, the SST anomaly in Atlantic Ocean, tropical eastern Pacific Ocean, monthly scale, its really effective for preparation of the drought, its really important for us. And such a more confirm information predication is expected for us. And you showed northward propagation (OLR anomaly), monthly scale signal, you have not done the analysis from stand point of sciences. From stand point of the sciences, such an analysis require for PhD, but they agree this is engineering thesis, so thats why the such a some signal which you found can be used for what in the filed of water resources management. For example flood, drought management, but little bit more practical. It is agriculture country, no no more detail. How can we use such information for agriculture? For example dam operation for changing the agriculture calendar, water allocation for domestic water, industrial water, power generation, agriculture water, etc. The question arises about the signal 10-days/monthly? According to that time scale importance, needs, explicabilities are different. This is field of yours. How to use such an information, information itself is not completed, but from the stand point of sciences, that analysis is required for PhD, they said. But I mentioned that this is very important/useful for water resources management. So in that case please describe in the thesis. You just described the importance, but based on the such three prediction ability signals, is possibility, its interesting possibility.
