Main Body

Factors Influencing Indian Monsoon:

1El-Nino + Walker Circulation
Walker Circulation > Warm current and warm current in fog → Moves towards Peru Coast.
Fig 1. El-NinoWalker circulation breaks into 2Drought in India, Australia, Indonesia.
2Indian Ocean Dipole

> Difference between Arabian Sea & Bay of Bengal SST

Bay of Bengal Sea Surface Temperature:

> If Arabian Sea SST is > Bay of Bengal SSTMore rainfall in India.

'IOD => More rainfall.

3Cyclones in Pacific

> Cyclones like Mawari, Gucho] (2003) is Pacific slow huge winds from Indian Ocean in SW to NE direction.

> Resists monsoon trough movement from SE to NW direction => Delayed rainfall

4Tropical Eastern Jets / Somali Jets

> Somali Jets aid South-West monsoon while Tropical Eastern Jets (TEJ) pushes depressions inland integrating monsoon.

5Madden-Julien Oscillations

> West to East moving phenomenon > More movement along equators, faster = more it crosses Indian Sub-continent => Increased rainfall.

> India Sub-continent => Increased rainfall.
