| Session Description | Asian Monsoon is the largest and most viable circulation on Earth. Its variability of various time scales have been affecting the welfare of billions of people. Asian monsoon variability is complicated by the multiscale interaction between different scales and the influence of various atmospheric and oceanic teleconnection patterns, in addition to the complex land-sea contrast and high-rising terrain. A better undertsanding of controlling mechanisms on the past variability and a better projection of the possible future change have been a great challenge for the Asian monsoon research. This session will focus on the cutting-edge research progress on the modeling and diagnostics of Asian monsoon variability of intraseasonal to centennial time scales in the past and its future projection. Presentations on the related issue are solicited. |
