TMR aims to coordinate and advance research on tropical and subtropical cyclones, monsoon systems, tropical convection, and intra-seasonal tropical variability to improve the understanding and prediction of high-impact tropical weather through theory, observations, and advanced technologies, including AI and machine learning.  

• TMR should promote tropical meteorology research, such as improving the understanding, prediction, and impact assessment of tropical and subtropical cyclones and monsoon systems on a short to sub-seasonal time scale. 

• TMR should promote research on severe weather events over the tropics, such as heavy precipitation, drought, and extreme heat, associated with weather systems on a sub-daily to sub-seasonal time scales.  

• TMR should work closely with partners, internal or outside WWRP, including the International Monsoons Project Office (IMPO), to promote global monsoon research and forecasting, and with WCRP on climate assessments of tropical cyclones and monsoon systems.
