中文摘要：

第二届PAGES全球季风研讨会探讨了全球季风的概念,讨论了区域性季风系统之间的对比关系,评估并提出了新的古季风强度的替代性指标,讨论了与季风关联的极端水文事件。研讨会从多时间尺度上综合考虑季风系统的变化规律及其驱动机制,除了与厄尔尼诺相关的年际变化,还涵盖了从年代际到地质长周期的各种时间尺度上季风系统的驱动机制。我们对季风的研究需要从＂全球性＂和＂多尺度＂着眼,力争取得全新的认识。

英文摘要：

The 2nd PAGES global monsoon symposium which was held in Tongji University,Shanghai,China,from September 13 to 15,2010,discussed four topics,namely the global monsoon concept,global correlation of regional monsoons,proxies of global monsoon intensity and monsoon related extreme hydrological events.Aside from the inter-annual variability associated with ENSO etc,this symposium discussed monsoons from inter-decadal to geological long-term cycles and the driving forces of their evolution and variations in a global scale.As a consensus,the symposium is not just providing a global view of regional monsoons,rather,it provides a new view of the regional monsoons as a global system.The global monsoon directly responds to external forcing,as well as interacts with high latitude processes through teleconnection.
