The Asian Summer Monsoon
Characteristics, Variability, Teleconnections and Projection
Description
Key Features
- Synthesizes the connections between the East Asian Summer Monsoon, the Indian Summer Monsoon and the Asian Summer Monsoon system
- Includes subsections on holistic characteristics, sub-seasonal and interannual variability, teleconnection patterns, and projections of future change
- Connects current theory and practice on Asian Monsoon forecasting, providing researchers with new skills and information to use in climate and weather forecasting
