- Some descriptive / predictive ability has been demonstrated in the core monsoon region, but with significant shortcomings.
- To understand why some models give predictability in the core monsoon region.
- To diagnose / correct weaknesses.
- Document basic climatology [esp. precipitation] at appropriate spatial / temporal scales (including the mean diurnal cycle).
- Give guidance on weaknesses in convective / boundary layer parameterizations [radar / radiosondes / profilers].
