PROMISE

Predictability and variability of monsoons and the agricultural and hydrological impacts of climate change.

The aims of PROMISE are to improve understanding of:
* the potential for seasonal prediction and the benefits that would accrue in terms of the management of water resources and agriculture
* the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on tropical countries, in particular on the availability of water resources for human use, and on the productivity of crops and the potential changes in the natural vegetation
