             abstract = "The American monsoons are important components of the global 
                         monsoon system. Since the annual precipitation over most of South 
                         America is mainly concentrated in the summer monsoon season, the 
                         economy, agriculture, water/energy resources and, consequently, 
                         the livelihoods of the great majority of population are heavily 
                         dependent on the South American monsoon (SAM). On the other hand, 
                         the North American monsoon (NAM) is the predominant influence on 
                         the boreal summer climate of the Southwestern United States and 
                         Northwestern Mexico, providing between 40% and 80% of the total 
                         precipitation in this region. This chapter summarizes the weather 
                         and climatic aspects of the American monsoons, using observational 
                         and modeling studies, with focus on their life cycles, mutual 
                         influence, variability on a wide range of temporal scales, extreme 
                         events, modeling, and prediction. Ongoing and future projections 
                         of climatic changes are also addressed. SAM and NAM are the result 
                         of land/atmosphere/ocean coupling and characterized by multi-scale 
                         interactions that are not completely known or understood. Many 
                         challenges still remain to improve understanding and prediction.",
