Abstract: Despite the systematic nature of the monsoon rains over India, large year-to-year variations in the pattern of distribution of rainfall during the season occur. The yearly pattern of rainfall distribution during the monsoon ...

Abstract: An objective numerical drought index based on monthly monsoon rainfall and duration has been developed for assessment of drought intensity. The drought intensity equation serves the dual purpose of assessing the intensity ...

Abstract: In this paper the elements of a monsoon system are defined, and its oscillations are determined from spectral analysis of long observational records. The elements of the monsoon system include pressure of the monsoon trough, ...

Abstract: An objective numerical index has been used to obtain, on the dryness side, the family of Drought Area Indices (DAI) and on the wetness side, the family of Flood Area Indices (FAI) for India for the period 1891?1979. Three ...

Abstract: An objective numerical drought/flood index has been used to obtain, on the dryness side, the Drought Area Index (DAI) and on the wetness side, the Flood Area Index (FAI) for India for the period 1891?1979. The DAI for a ...
