Abstract: Based on the data from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), many investigators have concluded that the net cloud radiative forcing at the top of the atmosphere is small in the deep convective region of the Tropics. ...

Abstract: The availability of daily observed rainfall estimates at a resolution of 0.5° ? 0.5° latitude?longitude from a collection of over 2100 rain gauge sites over India provided the possibility for carrying out 5-day precipitation ...

Abstract: Southwest monsoon rainfall over India during July 2002 was the lowest since instrumental records of rainfall data have been available. The present study is an attempt to examine some of the probable causes for this ...

Abstract: aily rainfall data obtained from 1025 rain gauges spread across the country over 51 years (1951?2001) are subjected to correlation analysis to identify homogeneous rainfall zones over India. In contrast to earlier studies, ...

Abstract: his study describes an attempt to overcome the underdispersive nature of single-model ensembles (SMEs). As an Indo?U.S. collaboration designed to improve the prediction capabilities of models over the Indian monsoon region, ...

Abstract: lobal positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) data available during 2001?10 have been used to examine the variations in the refractivity during the onset of Indian summer monsoon (ISM) over the east Arabian Sea ...

Abstract: he strong cross-equatorial flow in the lower troposphere, widely known as the monsoon low-level jet (MLLJ), plays an important role in the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) rainfall during June?September. Using high-resolution ...

Abstract: his study reports an objective criterion for the real-time extended-range prediction of monsoon onset over Kerala (MOK), using circulation as well as rainfall information from the 16 May initial conditions of the Grand ...
