I would be much grateful for the Department of Space and Applications, USTH, which provides the HILO cluster where I could implement the calculations, analysis and visualization of my PhD thesis’ results, and for the Research group for Remote sEnsing and MOdeling of Surface and ATmosphere (REMOSAT) lab under the leadership of Assoc. Ngo Duc Thanh, USTH for facilitating my PhD study.
I would express gratitude to the Southeast Asia Regional Climate Downscaling/ Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment – Southeast Asia (SEACLID/CORDEX-SEA) project, of which observed and model data were used in my thesis.
