Elsevier Indian Summer Monsoon Variability: El Niño-Teleconnections and Beyond

Indian Summer Monsoon Variability: El Niño-Teleconnections and Beyond presents the improved understanding of Indian Monsoon teleconnections (ENSO and Non-ENSO), new advances, and preferred future steps. Special emphasis is given to non-ENSO teleconnections which have been poorly understood for decades. With growing monsoon rainfall extremes across the Indian Subcontinent, a new understanding of monsoon environmental factors that are driven remotely through teleconnections is a trending topic. Finally, the book reviews current understanding of the observational and modeling aspects of Indian monsoon teleconnections. This is a must-read for researchers and graduate students in atmospheric science and meteorology. Review Addresses the behavior and mechanisms of ENSO and Non-ENSO teleconnections and how they alter Indian Monsoons, including historical and recent updates From the Back Cover Indian Summer Monsoon: ENSO and Non-ENSO Teleconnections takes stock of the present knowledge on Indian Monsoon teleconnections (ENSO and Non-ENSO) and discusses advances in the subject, along with future steps to be followed. Special emphasis is given on the non-ENSO teleconnections which has been poorly understood for decades. With growing monsoon rainfall extremes across the Indian Subcontinent, understanding of monsoon environmental factors that are driven remotely through teleconnections is a new aspect covered in this book. It reviews the current understanding of the observational and modeling aspects of Indian monsoon teleconnections. Indian Summer Monsoon: ENSO and Non-ENSO Teleconnections is a must-read for researchers and post graduates in Atmospheric Science and Meteorology. About the Author Jasti S.
