The monsoon rainfall contributes about 30% of the total global rainfall. The Asian monsoon system (ASM) is one of the largest systems and is of great significance in the global climate system. It consists of two subsystems, namely Indian summer monsoon (ISM)/southwest (SW) monsoon/South Asia summer monsoon (SASM) and East Asia monsoon (EAM).

Abstract


The monsoon rainfall contributes about 30% of the total global rainfall. The Asian monsoon system (ASM) is one of the largest systems and is of great significance in the global climate system. It consists of two subsystems, namely Indian summer monsoon (ISM)/southwest (SW) monsoon/South Asia summer monsoon (SASM) and East Asia monsoon (EAM).
