The South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) Implementation Plan

The Sooth China Sea monsoon is not only a main component of Asian monsoon system, but also plays an im-portant role in the weather and climate over the surrounding areas and the globe. However, because of the insufficient observation data, it is self evident that the large-scale field experiment over SCS is very important to deepen under-standing East Asian monsoon. In this paper, the composite experiment, modelling and data assimilation, especially the atmospheric observation, oceanic observation, air-sea interface observational network as well as satellite observa-tion are introduced in detail
