・ Utilization of satellite remote sensing technique forGAME were presented and reviewed in the last fiveatmospheric, hydrological, and oceanographic

GAME Conf’s and the eight GAME International

processes in GEWEX/GAME

Science Panel meetings. The GAME Phase II started in
2002 with recognition that a) excellent data have beenobtained in the successful field experiments, b) local
processes were well addressed, c) synthesizing andcross cutting analyses were yet matured, and d)modeling activity should be encouraged.
This GAME Conf will be the wrap up conference,and deep discussion on the energy and water cycle of
Asian monsoon and its prediction should be given. The
direction of the future study based on the achievementsof GAME will also be discussed.

・ Future scientific issues and collaborations withrequirements to solve the issues
