| Session Description | Southeast Asia is a region of major heat and energy source of the global climate. It is located between the Pacific and Indian Oceans and surrounded by the South Asian, East Asian, and Australian monsoons. The climate variability in this region is connected with the surrounding regions. On one hand, the climate signal in this region drives the large-scale atmospheric circulation changes in the surrounding and remote regions. On the other hand, the climate variability in this region is subjected to influences from the Pacific and Indian Ocean climate modes. This session will be devoted to Southeast Asian climate variations on intraseasonal, seasonal, interannual, and decadal time scales, their connections with the surrounding regions, the roles of land-atmosphere and ocean-atmosphere interaction processes, and the plausible changes in the future. The mechanisms for multi-scale climate variations, the detections and attributions of historical climate changes, and future projections of climate will be addressed. The topics in this session include, but not limited to: 1. Large-scale Features Associated with Interannual Climate Variability over Southeast Asia 2. Subseasonal Variations and Processes of the Southeast Asian Monsoon 3. Decadal Climate Changes over Southeast Asia and Connections with the Surrounding Regions 4. Extreme Weather and Climate Events over Southeast Asia 5. Roles of Atmosphere-ocean Interactions in the Southeast Asian Climate Variability 6. Contributions of Remote Forcing and Regional Processes to Seasonal Transition over the South China Sea and the Surrounding Regions 7. Impacts of Land Surface Processes on the Southeast Asia Climate Variability 8. Attributions and Future Projections of Regional Climate Change over Southeast Asia |
