KORMEX will be carried out with several other international monsoon programs, such as GAME (GEWEX Asia Monsoon Experiment), SCSMEX (South China Sea Monsoon Experiment), HUBEX, TIPEX (Tibetan Plateau Experiment), upon approval of the plans by the Korean government. The scheduled intensive observation period (IOP) is April-August 1998.
About twenty scientists were invited from China, Japan, and US. Also, a broad spectrum of Korean scientists from operational center, research institutes, and universities, in the fields of atmospheric science and hydrology, actively participated in the two day sessions of the workshop. The Chair of the IWEAM 96 Organization Committee is Dr Jai-Ho Oh at METRI.
The workshop covered many aspects of the East Asian summer monsoon, including
the present status of the East Asian summer monsoon research and monsoon
prediction, with major emphasis on the observation, communication,
and meso-scale features of the monsoon. The workshop consists of the following
six sessions:
