Research Highlight

Fate of Monsoon Low Pressure Systems in a warming climate

Study finds a decline in Indian monsoon Low Pressure Systems (LPS) activity by the late 21st century. LPS genesis shifts poleward, reducing oceanic genesis and increasing continental genesis. A novel LPS tracking algorithm was developed for this study
