Infos

The Asian Summer Monsoon: Characteristics, Variability, Teleconnections and Projection focuses on the connections between the Indian Summer and East Asian Summer Monsoons, also including 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 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. This book reviews the different subsystems and their impact, providing guidance to enhance prediction models. - 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

Dr. Yunyun Liu (???), works in the National Climate Center of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA). She received her Ph.D in atmospheric science from Graduated School, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009. She worked in Climate Prediction Center (CPC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US in 2013, examining the skill of the state-of-the-art climate models in simulating the interannual variability of the East Asian monsoon precipitation. Dr. Liu's work focuses on the atmospheric general circulation, mechanism of climate variability and interaction of the Asian summer monsoon subsystems and their influence on East Asian summer rainfall anomalies. Her research has been funded by grants from the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and Laboratory for Climate Studies, CMA. She also is involved in NFSC Project, the National Basic Research Program of China, and CMA R&D Special Fund for Public Welfare, related to the Asian monsoon system variability and predictability. She was appointed as a member of the creative team for short-term climate prediction in CMA in 2012. She has published more than 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and has contributed to numerous books.
