Asian Monsoon Climates

Asian Monsoon book cover Manoa Professor Bin Wang edited The Asian Monsoon. Satellite observations and computing technology have advanced our understanding of the monsoon climate enormously in the last two decades. Wang provides an update of the knowledge gained over this period, presenting the modern morphology and the physical principles of monsoon climate variation on all time scales ranging from intra-seasonal to tectonic time scales.

He brings new ideas that can be expected to markedly improve the prediction of monsoon climate. The Asian Monsoon includes contributions by experts who expand our understanding of the monsoon environment by their study of paleoclimate records, who present evidence of human influences on monsoon climate, and who describe the links of the monsoon to the economy and to human health.

This is a comprehensive interdisciplinary textbook summarizing new knowledge of Asian monsoon climate variability, dynamics, modeling and prediction from intra-seasonal to geological time scales, and human influence and its links to environmetal/economic issues.

The Asian Monsoon is available from the publisher’s website.
