An international conference, "Celebrating the Monsoon", is proposed to mark 25 years of the Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Indian Institute of Science. The aim of the conference is to assess where we stand in monsoon physics and prediction, with emphasis on open questions and new challenges.
The five-day conference is organised in theme-based sessions: Observing the Monsoon; Global Monsoon Systems; Monsoon Variability; Ocean and Monsoon; Clouds, Aerosol and Monsoon; Modeling the Monsoon; Extended Range Monsoon Prediction;
Each session will have three invited talks, and several contributed posters; each contributor will present a brief oral introduction to his/her poster.
