| The 6th Workshop of Asian Monsoon Years (AMY 2007-2012) was held on 30 Nov. – 1 Dec. 2009 in Kunming, China. More than 30 scientists from China, USA, Japan, India, Australia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Thailand and Vietnam attended the workshop, reviewed the progress and planned the future activities.
The 6th AMY workshop is an important milestone, since it reaches the half way for this 6-year project, and since the field observation campaigns have already finished their primary observation. The workshop reviewed 2008-2009 AMY field experiments, examined policy and mechanism for data collection and dissemination, discussed AMY Re-analysis implementation plan, coordinated numerical model experiments, discussed collaboration with CLIVAR, GEWEX subprograms and coordination with CEOP Monsoon, WCRP Pan-Monsoon activity, WWRP Monsoon Panel, and THORPEX/YOTC.
The AMY SSC suggested all the working groups having working meeting in 2010 to identify the specific guidelines in the next phase.
The 7th AMY workshop will be held during AOGS in July 2010 in India.
