A major drought occurred over India in the year 2002 with a seasonal rainfall deficit of
21.5%, a result of 56% below normal rainfall in the month of July. The largest anomalies …

This work investigates the spatial and temporal variability of the monsoon inversion (MI) over
the Arabian Sea for the study of 37-years period (1980–2016) using MERRA version2 …

The Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR), which has a strong connection to agricultural
food production, has been less predictable by conventional models in recent times. Two …

The onset of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is defined in terms of zonal asymmetric
