Asian monsoon, Onset, Heating processAbstract
We identified the process of Asian monsoon onset using new diagnostic method based on the mass amount of high moist and dry static energy airmass. In 2017, Asian monsoon onset process is driven by convective heating over the sector of Bay of Bengal and Bengal Plain. Estimation of convective heating has large uncertainty in ERA5 reanalysis dataset. We discuss the stability of Asian monsoon circulation and uncertainties in state-of-the-art analysis. We propose to develop new observational platform under the AsiaPEX project under the GEWEX climate research framework.
