Recent Research on the Australian Monsoon

[摘要] Owing to the data flowing from a number of observational programs, there has been over the last few years a sustained research effort on improving our understanding of the Australian monsoon. This paper discusses the findings of that research, including results on the large-scale structure of the monsoon, interannual variability, onset, intraseasonal variability, and mesoscale structure. Although there has been significant progress, much work remains to be done on relating regional aspects of the monsoon to the general tropical circulation.
