POSTER : OC- 000--- Opportunities and Challenges in Monsoon Prediction in a Changing Climate (OCHAMP), 21-25February 2012, IITM, PUNE, INDIA Moist Dynamics of extended monsoon breaks over South Asia V. Prasanna and H Annamalai IPRC/SOEST University of Hawaii , hanna@hawaii.edu Focus To elucidate the moist processes to initiate and maintain extended monsoon breaks MSE Budget Method Moisture and MSE budget diagnostics Yearwise Histogram breaks Radiation Balance ISO + boundary forcing July 2002 – Processes Rainfall anomalies Dry air advection Moisture Budget MSE budget for July 2002 Summary Dry advection by regional circulation anomalies initiate cloud radiative processes maintaing extended breaks. Dry advection leads precipitation anomalies over India
