Asian-Australian monsoon (AA monsoon) plays a key role in affecting the livelihood of Asian and Australian region. The AGCM intercompany was proposed to promote the performance in AGCM and the monsoon predictability.The AGCM intercomparison program was initiated right after the WCRP/CLIVAR Asian-Australian Monsoon Panel meeting held in Kyong-ju, Korea in April, 1998. The main foci of this program are intercomparing intraseasonal oscillation, monsoon dynamics and hydrology, atmosphere-ocean interaction, and global heat budget at the top of atmosphere and the surface in atmospheric GCMs.
