Scientific Approaches

We defined followint 6 approaches to achieve our project objectives.

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