中文摘要：

全球卫星探测和观测资料的积累,使以南海季风、亚洲季风为代表的季风研究兴起了一波研究热潮。区域季风认识的深入,推动了全球季风认识的发展,全球季风概念在20世纪末被提出来,并在21世纪初成为热点研究方向。季风边缘是与全球季风密切相关的概念,东亚夏季风北边缘的近期演变与全球季风过去几十年的减弱有关。全球季风的演变表现为分布全球的大气活动中心和季风槽的活动,这些成员组成了一个完整的全球季风系统。按照上述季风研究的发展脉络,系统地总结全球季风和季风边缘研究的进展,并提出未来季风研究的方向会把全球大气活动中心与全球气候槽,包括全球季风槽联系起来,即从季风系统着手研究全球季风的年代际和世纪尺度变率。

英文摘要：

With the development of global satellite data and global meteorological observational data,monsoon researches have been well developed for the regions such as South China Sea,East Asia and others.The progress of regional monsoon research promoted the global knowledge of monsoon.The concept of ＂Global Monsoon＂ was proposed at the end of 20th century and become hot field in climate research at the beginning of the 21th century.Monsoon margin is closely correlated with global monsoon and the recent variation of East Asia monsoon is consistent with weakening tendency of global monsoon.The global monsoon appears as the worldwide atmosphere centers of action and monsoonal troughs,which can be generalized as the global monsoon system.In this article,according to the developing context of global monsoon research,the progresses of research on the global monsoon and monsoon margins are summarized systematically,and the future direction of monsoon research is discussed,which implies linking global atmospheric centers of action and global monsoon troughs,in other words,including the studies of the inter-decadal and centennial variability of monsoon in the sight of global monsoon system.
