| Session Description | The goal of AMY is to integrate the ongoing and planned national projects in Asian countries and other international research programs and activities so as to improve understanding of the Asian monsoon system and prediction capacity for societal benefits as well as for additional benefit of each participating project. The activity focuses on a number of scientific objectives which include: ocean-atmosphere interaction, land-atmosphere interaction, diurnal and intra-seasonal to interannual variabilities of the Asian monsoon and human interactions with the monsoon, in particular, effect of aerosol on monsoon. In the years 2008-2010, a number of field observational campaigns were conducted under AMY, and the AMY-Reanalysis has been conducted by the MRI, JMA. Related analysis and modeling studies have been conducted. The 1st phase of AMY came to an end in 2012, and the Open Science Conference was held in 2013. Then, we decided to continue our 2nd phase activity (2013-2015), mainly on analysis and modeling. In this session, we will focus on the major achievements of AMY by observation, analysis and modeling in various time-scales from diurnal variations to inter-annual variations. |
