FIRST PARAGRAPH: Six monsoon systems are recognized in the modern world, the Asian, North and South African, Australian, North and South American, and their changes are affecting billions of people. The regional monsoon systems are driven by the same annual cycle of solar heating, yet differ from each other in their geographic position and orographic features. For over 300 years, the monsoon has been considered as a gigantic land-sea breeze of regional scale, but now it is considered as a global system over all continents but Antarctica.

首节:当今世界上有六大季风系统:亚洲季风,北非和南非季风,澳洲季风,南美和北美季风。不同区域的季风,都由太阳辐射加热的季节周期所驱动,但是又因为地理位置和地形特征不同而互有差别。三百多年来,季风一直被看成一种巨型的“海陆风”,属于区域性现象;现在方才意识到这是一个全球系统,为南极以外各个大陆所共有。
