Brief
Description
Asian
Monsoon Region and Pacific Basin are the key regions to
understand the large-scale circulation and water cycle in
the atmosphere. The comprehensive understanding of the behavior
of water cycle is necessary for predicting water cycle over
these regions.
Global observations by satellites are very useful and powerful
to detect the present condition of the Earth. The session
is to discuss new scientific results of water cycle in the
atmosphere, using current Earth Observing Satellites, TRMM
and ADEOS-II. Several topics in the session we would like
to discuss are as follows.
- Water
cycle over the Asian monsoon region
- Monsoon
variability over the Asian monsoon region
- Typhoon,
tropical cyclone over the Asian monsoon region
- Asian
monsoon activity and ENSO
- Diurnal
cycle of rainfall
- Interannual
variability of monsoon
- Surface
flux and precipitation system
- Water
vapor transport
- Cloud
and precipitation system
- Impact
of satellite observation for forecast
- Rainfall/snow
estimation from space
