Intraseasonal Variability in the Atmosphere-Ocean Climate System
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for predicting the South Asian Monsoon and the Australian-Indonesian Monsoon based on the ENSO Connection, which is used in this paper.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of studies on Asian aerosols, monsoons, and their interactions is provided in this article, where a new paradigm is proposed on investigating aerosol-monsoon interactions, in which natural aerosols such as desert dust, black carbon from biomass burning, and biogenic aerosols from vegetation are considered integral components of an intrinsic aerosolmonsoon climate system, subject to external forcing of global warming, anthropogenic aerosol, and land use and change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the performance of multilevel ensemble (MME) deterministic and probabilistic seasonal prediction based on 25-year (1980-2004) retrospective forecasts performed by 14 climate model systems (7 one-tier and 7 two-tier systems) that participate in the Climate Prediction and its Application to Society (CliPAS) project sponsored by the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation Climate Center (APCC).
