This session aims to discuss land-atmosphere interaction over the Asian monsoon region because it is one of the essential components of the Asian monsoon system. Precipitation characteristics and cloud-precipitation processes are closely tied with land-atmosphere interactions, which are also a key target. Over Asia, climates are various, which produces various land-atmosphere-precipitation interactions. The influences of complex topography on precipitation characteristics are also considered. It may be interesting that the interactions can vary with scales in space and in time.
Also, monsoon precipitation variability is a target of this session, which can also be associated with land surface conditions. We want to approach the mechanism behind the precipitation/precipitation characteristics variability. Also, to understand past and future precipitation variability, influences of land-use changes and/or global warming should be considered. A large variety of observations, numerical modeling, and their combined analyses are encouraged.
