The major part of the field observation has
already been finished and many preliminary results
relevant to the Asian monsoon have been presented.
This conference will become very important, not only・ Heavy precipitation and cloud systems in Asianmonsoon regions.
・ Macro-scale hydrological modeling, meso-scaleatmospheric modeling and their coupling・ GCM and regional climate model studies anddiagnostic studies of monsoon
・ Seasonal prediction of rainfall and water
