Elsevier The Asian Summer Monsoon: Characteristics, Variability, Teleconnections and Projection

Asian Summer Monsoon System and Precipitation focuses on the connections between the Indian Summer Monsoon and the East Asian Summer Monsoon, which includes the South China Sea Summer Monsoon. While these systems have profound differences, their interactions have significant impacts on the climatic regimes in the region and throughout the whole world. In summer, the ASM engine pumps moisture transported across thousands of miles from the Indian and Pacific Oceans to the monsoon regions, producing heavy rains over south and east Asia and its adjacent marginal seas. Anomalous distribution of the precipitation cause serious droughts and floods that have serious impact on economic development and people’s lives in the monsoon regions. This book reviews the different subsystems and how they impact each other and provides guidance on modelling to better predict and understand these weather systems and subsystems. 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 projection 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 Review A single resource on the systems and subsystems of the Asian Summer Monsoon and how they impact one another From the Back Cover Asian Summer Monsoon System and Precipitation A single resource on the systems and subsystems of the Asian Summer Monsoon, and how they impact one another.
