Abstract

The China–Sri Lanka Joint Center for Education and Research for the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (CSL-CER) was established in August 2015. The Joint Center is an overseas science and education platform established by Chinese Academy of Sciences. CSL-CER has conducted a series of research activities, including an annual scientific expedition to the eastern Indian Ocean, with many kinds of instruments installed for monsoon and ocean observation. The ‘Numerical Forecast System for the Surrounding Area of Sri Lanka,’ which was developed by the Joint Center, can provide rapid mapping on multiple scales and at multiple resolutions for numerical forecast products serving local society. The annual China–Sri Lanka Joint Workshop on Monsoon Climate and Ocean Environment was successfully held in 2015 and 2016. According to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on joint Master’s degrees, 15 new Master’s students were accepted by University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in 2015.
