Abstract: This study is aimed at reconciling inconsistencies between modeling studies of the Indian monsoon?Eurasian snow cover relationship, which support the Blanford hypothesis, and recent diagnostic studies, which have largely ...

Abstract: Basic diagnoses of summertime all-India rainfall (AIR) are conducted in an effort to evaluate the hypothesis that asserts the biennial alternation between successive strong and weak Indian monsoon summer seasons. The ...

Abstract: The 2002 Indian summer monsoon season is unique because of its exceptional weakness, its association with a relatively weak El Niño, and its precedence by over a decade in which ENSO events fail to be associated with ...

Abstract: A diagnostic criterion that retrospectively assesses the onset and withdrawal dates of the Indian monsoon is derived from variability in the large-scale hydrologic cycle. The method is proposed as an improved means with ...

Abstract: Using the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis for the 1950?2000 period, differences in the atmospheric hydrological cycle between the extremes of ENSO (i.e., La Niña minus El Niño) are examined. Zonal vertically integrated moisture ...

Abstract: n ensemble of simulations from different versions of the Community Atmosphere Model in the Community Earth System Model (CESM) is used to investigate the processes responsible for the intermodel spread in climate sensitivity. ...

Abstract: Machine-learning-based methods that identify drought in three-dimensional space–time are applied to climate model simulations and tree-ring-based reconstructions of hydroclimate over the Northern Hemisphere extratropics ...
