Abstract Climate adaptation governance increasingly investigates the cultural capacities of communities to cope with climate variability and change. This paper reports on research symbolic representations summer rainfall in repertoires guiding diverse institutionalised fields activity Sylhet Division. The conducted interviews co-created ‘cognitive maps’ communities, critically reflect their changing seasonal symbols. study revealed a common stock symbols which individuals reconfigure for strategizing justifying particular practices.

Subseasonal Predictability of Boreal Summer Monsoon Rainfall from Ensemble Forecasts

Subseasonal forecast skill over the broadly defined North American (NAM), West African (WAM) and Asian (AM) summer monsoon regions is investigated using three Ensemble Prediction Systems (EPS) at sub-monthly lead times.
