Monsoons play a crucial role in shaping weather patterns and impacting the livelihoods of billions of people.  Monsoon systems research is crucial not only for scientific improvements but also for socio-economic applications, that will benefit society. As part of our efforts to share this knowledge, WCRP and WWRP are jointly launching a series of webinars on global and regional monsoons, in line with the three working groups of the Monsoons Panel. These webinars will be a platform to exchange knowledge, to discuss past and ongoing activities within the Monsoons Panel, and to explore methods that the scientific community and other stakeholders can engage. 

The first webinar in this series is on Global Monsoon, chaired by Dr Suryachandra Rao Anguluri, a senior scientist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune.
