Prediction of summer monsoon rainfall over northwest region of India using an OLR index

Mesoscale objective analysis of daily rainfall with satellite and conventional data over Indian summer monsoon region

A mesoscale objective analysis scheme for producing daily rainfall analysis on a regular latitude/longitude grid over the Indian monsoon region is described. The Barnes scheme is applied to interpolate irregularly distributed daily rainfall data on to a regular grid. The spatial resolution of the interpolated arrays is 0.25 degrees of latitude by 0.25 degrees of longitude. Daily rainfall derive...

Statistical Forecasting of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall: An Enduring Challenge

On the Variability and Prediction of Rainfall in the Post-monsoon Season over India

Considerable rainfall occurs in India during the post-monsoon period from October to December, particularly over north-eastern, eastern and southern regions, and this is of great significance in agricultural and allied sectors. For the first time, we have attempted to provide detailed information on the variability and predictability of the post-monsoon rainfall (PMR) of the country. Details on...

Predictability of Northeast Monsoon Rainfall over Southern India using Global Pressure Oscillations

Main focus of this hind cast study is to develop an algorithm for predicting northeast monsoon rainfall (NEMR) using global atmospheric pressure oscillations over south India. Analysis of 129–years datasets indicates that the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) of April and May (AM) is inversely related (-0.56) with NEMR during 1959 to 2004; similarly the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) of Januar...
