Understanding the Monsoon phenomenon through geodetic and other earth observation data
Understanding the Monsoon phenomenon through geodetic and other earth observation data
Session ID#: 120662
Session Description:
The Monsoon phenomenon drives water cycle dynamics, it controls agricultural productivity of affected countries, and it is sensitive to global climate change. Largest systems are the West African and Asia-Australian monsoons, and similar systems exist in North and South America. Our understanding of the Monsoon can improve from recent advances in geodesy and other Earth observation data and techniques providing new insights into hydrologic and atmospheric processes. For this session, we invite contributions utilizing Earth observation techniques novel to Monsoon studies, including GNSS, SAR and InSAR, ground and satellite gravimetry, altimetry and reflectometry to monitor dynamics of atmosphere, hydrosphere or solid Earth related to Monsoon. Contributions highlighting synergistic use of geodetic and other Earth observation data are welcome. We also encourage contributions that integrate novel observations into mathematical or hydrological models enabling better quantification and prediction of Monsoon phenomena, and that study anthropogenic influences and interactions.
