This action funds James H. Ruppert, Jr. of Colorado State University to conduct a research project, entitled "Impacts of subseasonal variability on heavy summertime rainfall in Taiwan," during the summer of 2012 at National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan. The host scientist is Prof. Ben Jong-Dao Jou.The Intellectual Merit of the study lies in improving understanding and prediction of severe-flood-producing heavy rainfall systems during the early-summer rainy season in Taiwan. The study provides description of the ways in which subseasonal atmospheric waves dictate the transitions between active and break periods in heavy rainfall during this rainy season. The research results promise new ways of predicting active and suppressed early-summer rainfall periods in Taiwan, which can last roughly a week to ten days, and thus mitigate the impacts of severe flood events that can be debilitating to local society in Taiwan. It's expected that results can be generalized to other sectors of the Asian monsoon basin as well as other summer monsoon regions around the globe.The Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.

该行动为科罗拉多州立大学的小詹姆斯·H·鲁珀特（James H. Ruppert，Jr。）提供了一项研究项目，该研究名为“季节性变异性对台湾大夏季降雨的影响”，2012年夏天在台湾台北的国家台湾大学。 主持人科学家是本·钟（Ben Jong-dao Jou）教授。该研究的知识分子在于在台湾早期的夏季雨季节，改善对产生严重洪水的大雨系统的理解和预测。 该研究提供了描述在这个雨季中大降雨中积极的降雨和休息时间之间的过渡方式的描述。 该研究结果有望在台湾预测活跃和抑制早期夏季降雨期的新方法，该期限可以持续大约一周到十天，从而减轻了可能使台湾当地社会使人衰弱的严重洪水事件的影响。预计结果可以推广到亚洲季风盆地的其他部门以及全球其他夏季季风地区。EAPSI奖学金的更广泛影响包括提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；各自位置的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施的简介；以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，以在其科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯的早期对国际合作进行教育，从而确保全球意识的美国科学劳动力。
