The Fourth
International Workshop on Monsoons (IWM-IV)
was the first World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) quadrennial monsoon workshop organized
under the new World Weather Research Programme
(WWRP). The previous emphasis of this workshop
series on seasonal and long-term variations was
expanded in IWM-IV to encompass all time scales
(mesoscale, synoptic, intraseasonal, and climate) that
are relevant to the forecasting of high-impact weather
events, such as heavy rainfall, tropical cyclones, and
droughts, in the world’s monsoon regions.
