This collaborative project involving Drs. A. Robock and D. Robinson of Rutgers University and Dr. K. Vinnikov of the University of Maryland will explore the connection between snow and soil moisture anomalies and the timing and strength of the Indian summer monsoon. This analysis will include examining the links among snow, soil moisture, rainfall and circulation anomalies, and sea surface temperatures using special observations and the NCEP reanalysis data. The principal investigators (PIs) will exploit a newly available data base of soil moisture observations, with more than 400 stations covering most of Eurasia, including the former Soviet Union, Mongolia, China, and India, along with an updated data set of snow extent and snow water equivalent observations. A critical part of the activity will be the PIs' careful assessment and quality control of the diverse observations that make up the data set. The data set will be made available to the wider community via the web.

该合作项目涉及博士。罗格斯大学的A.罗伯克和D.罗宾逊以及马里兰大学的K.维尼科夫博士将探索雪和土壤湿度异常与印度夏季季风的时间和强度之间的联系。这一分析将包括利用特殊观测和NCEP再分析数据检查雪、土壤湿度、降雨和环流异常以及海面温度之间的联系。主要研究人员将利用一个新的土壤湿度观测数据库，该数据库有400多个站点，覆盖欧亚大陆的大部分地区，包括前苏联、蒙古、中国和印度，以及更新的积雪范围和雪水当量观测数据集。该活动的一个关键部分将是pi对组成数据集的各种观测结果进行仔细评估和质量控制。该数据集将通过网络提供给更广泛的社区。
