Sub-seasonal rainfall variability during extreme monsoon years
 |
Study shows that the performance of Aug+Sept (AS) rainfall (Percentage departure PD) is higher/lower than the June+July (JJ) rainfall when JJ rainfall is in deficit/excess. The JJ Sea Surface Temperatures over the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal are negatively correlated with JJ rainfall and positively correlated with AS minus JJ rainfall PDs. Correlation between JJ SST and AS minus JJ rainfall is statistically significant at the 1% level.

Improved depiction of Indian summer monsoon in latest high resolution NCEP climate forecast system reanalysis
|
The latest coupled global reanalysis of NCEP, called as Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) is best suited for the realistic representation of Indian summer monsoon. CFSR shows its superior credibility in terms of seasonal mean monsoon rainfall and its associated dynamical components (on intraseasonal and inter-annual scales) as compared to widely used atmospheric only reanalysis ....
