Research Council (NERC)
National Monsoon Mission program launched by MoES in 2012 with an aim to
improve monsoon prediction at all temporal and spatial scales through joint efforts
of national and international scientific communities. To address the issue of better
understanding of the processes that drive the variability, and predictability of the
South Asian Monsoon, India and United Kingdom have embarked on an ambitious
plan to carry out a major joint observational campaign under the programme
Drivers of the Variability in the Indian Monsoon.
