This project will study the monsoon phenomenon. The broader impacts envisioned are multifaceted, including participation in existing outreach activities for K-12 and undergraduate research mentoring and teaching. The PI also has a strong sense of the need for data and computer code/script dissemination and proposes to develop a tool to facilitate this kind of intellectual product exchange.Limitations of the existing theoretical treatments of monsoon circulations have been noted in prior literature, and a few examples of those theories failing entirely have been documented, but as of yet there has been no systematic attempt to break the theories. Using idealized general circulation models, effort under this project will identify conditions under which existing monsoon theories break down. New theoretical insights will be applied to climate model simulations of past and future climates in order to improve constraints on monsoon behavior in paleoclimates and in the coming decades.

该项目将研究季风现象。设想的更广泛影响是多方面的，包括参与现有的 K-12 外展活动以及本科生研究指导和教学。 PI 还强烈意识到对数据和计算机代码/脚本传播的需求，并建议开发一种工具来促进这种知识产品交换。现有的季风环流理论处理的局限性已在先前的文献中指出，并且这些理论完全失败的一些例子已经被记录下来，但迄今为止还没有系统性的尝试来打破这些理论。使用理想化的大气环流模型，该项目的工作将确定现有季风理论失效的条件。新的理论见解将应用于过去和未来气候的气候模型模拟，以改善对古气候和未来几十年季风行为的限制。
