East-Asian Monsoon Studies

本研究的目的是研究东亚夏季风。它的目的是从根本上了解并最终预测东亚季风区发现的各种现象。具体现象包括对流带(梅雨)的季节性迁移、突变现象、40天和20天振荡、季风间歇性、爆发和中断、季节内和年际变化。本研究采用了经验数据分析、理论和GCM三管齐下的方法。这项研究的重要性在于，它有可能增进我们对季风活动以及亚洲季风与之相互作用的全球天气和气候的预报能力。

The objective of this research is to study the East Asian summer monsoon. It aims at a fundamental understanding and ultimately prediction of a diverse range of phenomena found in the East Asian monsoon region. Specific phenomena include the seasonal migration of the convection zone (Mei-yu), the abrupt- jump phenomena, 40-day and 20-day oscillations, monsoon intermittency, onset and breaks, intraseasonal as well as interannual variabilities. The research employs a three-prong approach involving empirical data analyses, theory and GCM. The importance of this research is that it has the potential to provide the enhanced understanding required to improve our ability to predict monsoon activity and hence the global weather and climate with which the Asian Monsoon interacts.
