Role of the Bay of Bengal for Prediction of Indian Monsoon

Abstract

An international workshop titled, Role of the Bay of Bengal for Prediction of the Indian Monsoon, was organized at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, November 16-18, 2011. The workshop was used to assess the state of scientific understanding on the Bay of Bengal. There were 41 participants at the workshop, 6 of which were invited scientists from India. A summary report that identified key questions of interest was put together after the workshop. Understanding intra-seasonal monsoonal variability and the underlying oceanic processes was identified as the challenge to be addressed through further study. The workshop was successful in laying the foundation for developing international collaboration.
