Scientific Approaches

We defined followint 6 approaches to achieve our project objectives.

• Observation and Estimation of Variation and Extremes in Asian Land Precipitation and Important Variables
• Process Studies of Asian Land Precipitation Focusing on Diverse Land-Atmosphere Interactions
• Understanding and Prediction of Variability of Asian Monsoon from Subseasonal to Interdecadal Time Scales
• High Resolution Land Surface Hydrological Modeling and Monitoring Incorporating Impacts of Human Water Withdrawal, Agriculture, Vegetation and Cryosphere
• Coordinated Observation and Modeling Initiatives
• Detection and Projection of the Climate Change Impact on Regional Precipitation in the Asian Monsoon Region
