More DescriptionThis major review of monsoon meteorology reflects the most recent research on the subject. Fifteen essays written by specialists in the field review the synoptic, regional, and planetary aspects of summer and winter monsoons over Asia. The role of physical processes such as the influences of differential heating between land and sea, the thermal and mechanical effects of the mountains of the monsoon region, and the significance of the clouds are presented. The final section contains summaries on dynamical theories and computational modelling efforts.
