Monsoon Asian Hydro-Atmosphere Scientific Research and Prediction Initiative (MAHASRI) has been focused on both atmospheric and hydrological sciences (meteorology, climatology and hydrology), and applications (agriculture, water-related disaster, etc) as one of the ICRP/GEWEX/GHP international projects. It has been also collaborated with WCRP project, Asian Monsoon Year (AMY 2007-2012) and the AMY Re-analysis data will be released soon.
